Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by celebrating diversity, promoting the concept of a 'found family' based on acceptance rather than solely biological ties, and advocating for inclusivity towards outsiders and unique individuals.
The movie features a main character who is biracial and part of a highly diverse ensemble, reflecting intentional character design choices. Its narrative is built around themes of acceptance, belonging, and celebrating differences among its varied characters.
Secondary
I Heart Arlo features positive and affirming portrayals of LGBTQ+ characters, including a non-binary character (Bertie) and a gay character (Marcellus). Their identities are presented with dignity and are integrated into the narrative as accepted and valued members of the main character's found family, contributing to a diverse and inclusive environment.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The show "I Heart Arlo" is a direct continuation of the film "Arlo the Alligator Boy." All main characters maintain their established genders from the preceding film, and there are no instances of characters being portrayed as a different gender than their original conception.
This animated series features original characters, many of whom are anthropomorphic animals or fantastical beings. There is no prior canon establishing specific human racial identities for these characters that could be altered.
