Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by portraying a narrative focused on overcoming prejudice and fear between different groups (monsters and humans) through diversity, inclusion, and challenging long-standing societal barriers.
The film features a diverse ensemble of monster characters as a foundational element of its design. Its narrative explicitly explores themes of acceptance and challenges prejudice against those who are different, portraying traditional societal fears in a critical manner.
Secondary
The film "Monster High: Ghouls Rule" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on themes of acceptance and diversity between 'monsters' and 'normies' (humans), rather than specific sexual orientations or gender identities. Therefore, there is no direct LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features characters who are the children of classic monsters, such as Frankie Stein (daughter of Frankenstein's monster) and Draculaura (daughter of Dracula). These characters were created with their established genders within the Monster High franchise and are not gender-swapped versions of their monster parents or other pre-existing characters.
