Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes traditional religious values, emphasizing absolute obedience to divine command and the preservation of sacred texts as the solution to spiritual and societal decay, aligning with a clearly conservative worldview.
This animated film, based on a religious text, features traditional character depictions consistent with its source material, without intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on themes of faith and obedience, and does not incorporate explicit critiques of traditional identities or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film, produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, affirms principles of faith in God, divine guidance, and the importance of scripture, aligning with its specific understanding of Christian tenets.
The film, set in ancient Jerusalem, affirms the divine origin and importance of the Law of Moses and other ancient Israelite scriptures contained on the Brass Plates. While it depicts the wickedness of some inhabitants of Jerusalem, it validates the foundational tenets and prophetic tradition from which the main characters emerge.

The film is a direct adaptation of the Book of Mormon narrative concerning Nephi and the Brass Plates. All major characters, including Nephi, Lehi, Sariah, and Laban, retain their established canonical genders from the source material.
