Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left by championing self-determination and embracing a new, non-traditional purpose over clinging to established roles and duties, as exemplified by Woody's ultimate choice to become a lost toy with Bo Peep.
The film incorporates visible diversity through its voice casting for new characters, contributing to a broader representation within the ensemble. Its narrative, however, focuses on themes of personal growth and independence without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its core message.
Secondary
The film includes a very brief, background depiction of what appears to be a same-sex couple dropping off a child. This incidental portrayal is neither central to the plot nor elaborated upon, resulting in a neutral net impact on LGBTQ+ themes.
The film features Bo Peep, who demonstrates agility and skill using her staff to overcome several male ventriloquist dummies in close-quarters physical encounters. She successfully neutralizes them to achieve her objectives.
All returning legacy characters in Toy Story 4 maintain their established gender from previous installments. New characters introduced in this film do not constitute gender swaps of pre-existing characters.
The characters in Toy Story 4 are animated toys whose designs and appearances are consistent with previous installments. No established character's visual depiction or implied 'race' was altered, and new characters do not qualify as race swaps.
