Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on the apolitical themes of family, holiday traditions, and domestic challenges surrounding a Thanksgiving meal, with the conflict and resolution centered on comedic situations rather than ideological viewpoints.
The movie features traditional casting without any explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative centers on classic holiday themes of family and tradition, without incorporating any explicit DEI themes or critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
Garfield's Thanksgiving is an animated holiday special that focuses on the titular cat's antics during Thanksgiving preparations. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, thus there is no portrayal to evaluate within the film.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
All major characters in "Garfield's Thanksgiving" (Garfield, Jon, Odie, Liz, Grandma Arbuckle) retain their established genders from the original comic strip and previous adaptations. No characters canonically established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender.
Garfield, Odie, Jon Arbuckle, Liz Wilson, and Grandma Arbuckle are consistently portrayed as their established races (or species) from the original comic strip and previous animated works. No character's race was altered from its canonical depiction.
