Primary
The show's core subject matter and its narrative focus on universal lessons for children about social interaction and problem-solving, rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity and inclusion through its intentional expansion of character types, introducing more female engines and engines with diverse global origins, moving beyond the traditionally male-dominated cast. The narrative, however, maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on themes of friendship and teamwork without explicit critiques or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The animated children's series "Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narratives primarily revolve around the adventures and lessons learned by the anthropomorphic trains, focusing on universal themes suitable for its young audience.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The reboot introduces new female characters and features a more diverse cast, but no established male characters from the original Thomas & Friends series are portrayed as female, nor are any established female characters portrayed as male.
