How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

The film's central message champions empathy, peaceful coexistence between different species, and inclusive leadership over domination and traditional conflict, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.

The movie features a visually diverse cast of characters within its fantasy setting, though it does not engage in explicit racial or gender recasting of traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on universal themes of coexistence and challenging outdated traditions, rather than critiquing traditional identities or explicitly centering modern DEI themes.

The film features a very brief, subtle implication that the character Gobber is gay. This moment is incidental to the plot and does not contribute to a significant arc of either empowerment or suffering, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.

The film features Astrid Hofferson, a skilled warrior, who engages in direct physical combat using a melee weapon against male opponents. She is shown to be victorious in these close-quarters encounters.
