Overview
The Kingdom of Heaven is a series of short stories called parables. As Jesus teaches the people each parable, some begin to understand what the “Kingdom of Heaven” is like.

Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by critiquing religious extremism and championing interfaith tolerance and humanitarian duty as the solution to conflict.
The animated film 'The Kingdom of Heaven' features traditional casting, depicting biblical characters in a generalized aesthetic common to Western animated adaptations without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on straightforward biblical storytelling, without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes.
Secondary
The film critiques the hypocrisy, fanaticism, and violence committed by many Christian Crusaders, particularly the Knights Templar and certain leaders, but it champions the faith's ideals of justice, mercy, and tolerance through characters like King Baldwin IV and Balian, who embody a more virtuous path. The narrative condemns the abuse of the faith, not the faith itself.
Islam is portrayed with significant respect and nuance, primarily through the character of Saladin, who embodies honor, wisdom, and mercy. The film highlights the dignity and strategic brilliance of Muslim leadership and adherence to their faith's principles, offering a counter-narrative to historical Western biases.
