Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by championing diversity, inclusion, and challenging prejudice against marginalized groups, using monsters as a metaphor for 'others' in society.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through its intentional casting of actors from various racial backgrounds and a non-binary actor in central roles. Its narrative strongly reinforces themes of acceptance, celebrating individual differences, and fostering belonging among marginalized groups, making diversity and inclusion a core message.
Secondary
The 'Monster High' animated series features Frankie Stein, a prominent non-binary character who uses they/them pronouns. The show consistently affirms Frankie's identity, with other characters respecting their pronouns without question or conflict. This portrayal normalizes non-binary identity, contributing to a positive and validating representation within the narrative.
The character Frankie Stein, originally established as female in prior Monster High iterations, is portrayed as non-binary in the 2022 show, constituting a gender swap.
The 2022 animated series features several characters whose races differ from their established portrayals in previous franchise iterations. For example, Frankie Stein, originally depicted as white-coded, is portrayed as Black. Draculaura and Lagoona Blue, previously white-coded, are now Latina.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
