Center
Primary
The film's focus on a family of puppies navigating everyday challenges promotes universal values such as cooperation, curiosity, and family bonds, which are apolitical and common in children's programming.
This animated series features anthropomorphic animal characters, which inherently bypasses traditional human racial or gender representation considerations. The narrative focuses on positive family themes typical of children's programming, without engaging in critiques of traditional identities or explicit DEI-driven storylines.
Secondary
The animated series 'Pretzel and the Puppies' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a dachshund father and his five puppies, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences, resulting in no depiction to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The main characters, Pretzel and Greta, retain their original genders from the source book. Their puppies are new, original characters whose individual genders were not established in prior canon.
The series is based on a children's book featuring animal characters (dogs). As the characters are not human, the concept of a 'race swap' as defined does not apply.
