Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter is a traditional religious narrative, and its solution to the world's problems is divine intervention and faith, implicitly aligning with conservative values of tradition and moral order rather than promoting explicit political ideology.
The film portrays biblical figures from the Middle East, which naturally features non-European characters without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. The narrative is a traditional retelling of a religious story, focusing on its core themes without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly promoting modern DEI perspectives.
Secondary
The film is a reverent and faithful animated adaptation of the Nativity story, presenting the birth of Jesus as a miraculous and divinely ordained event, aligning entirely with Christian theological perspectives.
The film portrays the Jewish people, their traditions, and their prophecies as the essential historical and religious context for the birth of Jesus. Characters like Mary, Joseph, and the prophets are depicted with dignity and respect within their Jewish faith.
The film, a Christian-themed children's animation about the birth of Jesus, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses solely on the biblical Christmas story from the perspective of barnyard animals, resulting in no LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts the biblical Nativity story. All major characters, such as Mary, Joseph, Jesus, shepherds, and wise men, are portrayed with their historically and canonically established genders, without any instances of gender swapping.
This animated film depicts biblical figures, who are often portrayed with varying appearances across different artistic traditions. There is no evidence that the film changed the race of a character from a previously established canonical, historical, or widely recognized portrayal to a different race.
