Leans Right
Primary
The film's central themes of self-discovery, loyalty, and the power of friendship are universal and apolitical, focusing on personal growth and the value of genuine connections rather than promoting specific political ideologies.
The movie features a primarily traditional cast, with the main human character being a young white girl and mainstream voice actors for the animal leads. Its narrative focuses on themes of self-discovery and friendship, without any explicit critique of traditional identities or central DEI themes.
Secondary
