Center
Primary
The film's central themes of personal growth, overcoming fear, and the universal value of literature are apolitical, focusing on individual development rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features a predominantly white human cast, with visible diversity in the voice cast through the inclusion of a Black actress for an anthropomorphic character. The narrative focuses on a young white male protagonist's journey of self-discovery, without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The Pagemaster does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a young boy's journey through a magical library to overcome his fears, without incorporating elements related to queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Pagemaster features original characters (the books) whose genders are established within the film, and literary characters (e.g., Captain Ahab, Dr. Jekyll) who retain their canonical male gender. No pre-existing characters were portrayed with a different gender.
The Pagemaster features original characters created for the film, such as Richard Tyler and the personified books (Adventure, Fantasy, Horror). The literary characters depicted within the film maintain their established racial portrayals from their source material. Therefore, no race swaps are present.
