Overview
During the summer vacations, the three friends are about to take a trip together to Romania, where they are allowed to complete an internship on the film set of "Dracula Rises", arranged for them by Peter's father, who is responsible for the special effects during the filming. No sooner do they arrive in Transylvania than mysterious events begin to pile up at Countess Codrina's old castle, which serves as the original setting for the film. The three detectives want to find out what all this may have to do with a boy who has been missing for over 50 years, a mysterious brotherhood and an enigmatic undead. Soon, not only the filming and Peter's relationship with his father are at stake, but also the friendship of the three investigators.

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict is an apolitical children's mystery, and while it champions broadly democratic values like curiosity and teamwork, these are presented as genre tropes rather than explicit political statements, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white, male main cast consistent with its source material, without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on traditional themes of friendship and adventure, with no explicit engagement with broader diversity, equity, or inclusion themes, nor does it critically portray traditional identities.
Secondary
Based on all available information, The Three Investigators and The Legacy of the Dragon does not include any explicit LGBTQ characters, storylines, or themes. The film focuses on its adventure narrative without incorporating LGBTQ representation, resulting in no discernible portrayal of the LGBTQ community.
The film does not feature any scenes where a female character engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Female characters are present but do not participate in such action sequences.
The film portrays its main characters, Justus Jonas, Peter Shaw, and Bob Andrews, as boys, consistent with their canonical male genders from the original series. No other characters are indicated to have an on-screen gender differing from their established source material gender.
The main characters, Justus Jonas, Peter Shaw, and Bob Andrews, originally depicted as white American boys, are portrayed by German actors of European descent, maintaining their established racial identity.
