Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes traditional religious ideology and divine intervention as the solution to societal problems, aligning strongly with conservative values.
This animated film, which tells the Nativity story, employs traditional casting without explicit DEI-driven character recasting. Its narrative focuses on the religious themes of the biblical account, presenting its characters and traditional identities in a neutral or positive light, without incorporating modern social critiques.
Secondary
The film portrays the Jewish community and its traditions with respect and nuance. The rabbi's skepticism towards the protagonist's messianic claims is depicted as wisdom and responsibility, not as a flaw in the faith itself. The narrative elicits sympathy for the community's grounded approach to belief and tradition.
The film "The Messiah Comes" is an animated Christian movie that does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely focused on religious subject matter, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity, either positive, negative, or neutral.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a direct adaptation of the New Testament, portraying major biblical figures consistent with their historically and canonically established genders. There are no instances where a character's gender deviates from the source material.
This animated film depicts biblical figures, including Jesus Christ, in a manner consistent with their historical and canonical Middle Eastern origins. There is no evidence of any character established as one race being portrayed as a different race.
