Primary
The film's central conflict, a wish-granting rock causing chaos, is inherently apolitical, and its resolution emphasizes universal moral lessons about cooperation and responsibility rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The film showcases a visibly diverse ensemble cast, though it does not feature explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, and DEI themes are not central to the plot.
Secondary
