Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on universal moral lessons like friendship, helping others, and perseverance, rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
This animated film features anthropomorphic trains, where the concept of human racial or gender identity in casting is not applicable. The narrative centers on themes of friendship and assistance, portraying its characters, predominantly male engines, in a positive light without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes.
Secondary
This film, part of the 'Thomas & Friends' franchise, centers on the adventures of talking trains. It does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
This animated film features talking trains and does not contain any scenes depicting physical combat between characters. The narrative focuses on friendship and problem-solving, not direct confrontations. Therefore, no female character engages in or wins physical fights against male opponents.
This film features established characters from the Thomas & Friends franchise, all of whom retain their original genders. New characters introduced in this installment do not constitute gender swaps.
The film's primary characters are anthropomorphic trains and vehicles, which do not possess a human race. Human characters like Sir Topham Hatt maintain their established racial depiction. New characters introduced are not considered race swaps of existing ones.
