Leans Left

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film focuses on apolitical themes of family unity, perseverance, and the struggles of a small business, with the solution stemming from the family's collective ingenuity rather than any specific political ideology or systemic critique.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a diverse array of supporting characters, contributing to a visibly inclusive world. However, it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles, nor does its narrative explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities. Its approach to diversity is more through organic inclusion rather than overt commentary.

Secondary

LGBTQ: PositiveConfidence: High

Bob's Burgers offers a consistently positive and affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters. Recurring characters like Marshmallow are depicted with dignity and agency, and the show's overall tone is one of acceptance and inclusivity. Queer identities are normalized and never serve as a source of mockery or negative stereotypes, contributing to a validating environment.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Bob's Burgers is an original animated series, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing material. All characters were created for this show, establishing their genders within its own canon from their first appearance. Therefore, no characters were canonically established as one gender elsewhere and then portrayed as a different gender in this series.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Bob's Burgers is an original animated series, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing material. All characters were created for the show, establishing their race within its original context. There are no instances of characters whose race was established in prior canon being portrayed as a different race in this series.
