Center
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on universal themes of identity, belonging, and the acceptance of differences, presented in an apolitical manner for a young audience. It champions mutual understanding without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
This animated film explores themes of identity and belonging through the story of a bat raised by birds, emphasizing the acceptance of differences. The character representation is animal-based, and the narrative does not engage with critiques of traditional human identities.
Secondary
The film "Stellaluna" is an animated children's story about a fruit bat raised by birds. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or storylines present in the narrative. The film focuses on themes of identity, family, and belonging through the lens of interspecies adoption.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts the children's book, maintaining the established genders of all main characters, including Stellaluna and the bird siblings Pip, Flap, and Piff. While some male characters are voiced by female actors, their on-screen portrayal and narrative identity remain consistent with their original male gender.
The film "Stellaluna" features animated animal characters (bats and birds). The concept of human race, and thus a "race swap," does not apply to these characters.
