Center
Primary
The film's central themes of acceptance, family bonding, and finding one's voice are universal and apolitical, not explicitly promoting any specific progressive or conservative ideology.
The movie showcases visible diversity within its cast, notably with a multiracial family and a prominent Hispanic actor, contributing to an inclusive feel. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center its themes around specific DEI issues beyond a general message of acceptance.
Secondary
Mrs. Primm, a character depicted as white in the original Bernard Waber book series, is portrayed by an Asian-American actress in the film adaptation, constituting a race swap.
The film 'Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile' does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on a boy's friendship with a singing crocodile, family dynamics, and overcoming fear, without touching upon queer identities or experiences, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film is a family musical comedy and does not feature any scenes of direct physical combat. No female characters engage in or are victorious in close-quarters physical fights against male opponents.
The film adapts the established characters from the original children's book series, maintaining their canonical genders. No character previously established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the movie.
