Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central themes of perseverance, self-belief, and helping others are universal moral lessons, consciously focusing on apolitical themes of character development and positive thinking rather than specific political ideologies.
The film's character representation is traditional, primarily featuring anthropomorphic trains and human characters without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. The narrative focuses on classic themes of perseverance and self-belief, without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The animated children's film 'The Little Engine That Could' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a young train's journey and the power of positive thinking, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2011 film adaptation maintains the established genders of its core engine characters, including the Little Blue Engine (Tillie) as female. No previously established characters from the source material or prior adaptations appear to have their gender changed in this version.
The film's primary characters are anthropomorphic trains and toys, which do not possess a human race. The minor human characters in the source material were not explicitly or unambiguously established as a specific race, thus precluding a race swap.
