Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central themes of chosen family, acceptance, and the triumph of good over evil are presented in a universal, apolitical manner, focusing on personal identity and relationships rather than engaging with specific political ideologies or societal critiques.
The movie features traditional casting for its human characters, with no intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its plot.
Secondary
The film 'The Smurfs 2' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on family, friendship, and adventure without incorporating elements related to queer identity or experiences, resulting in no depiction.
The film is an animated family comedy where conflicts are resolved through cartoonish antics, magic, or teamwork rather than direct physical combat. No female character engages in or wins close-quarters physical fights against male opponents.
All established characters in The Smurfs 2 maintain their canonical genders from previous installments and source material. New characters introduced in the film are original creations and do not represent gender-swapped versions of pre-existing characters.
The film primarily features non-human characters (Smurfs) and human characters who are either new creations for the live-action series or whose portrayals align with established source material. No instances of a character's established race being changed were identified.
