Primary
The film is neutral as its central themes of community, kindness, and personal transformation from cynicism to joy are universal and do not explicitly align with a specific political ideology, despite a mild critique of consumerism.
The movie presents a visually diverse cast of Whos and a varied voice ensemble, yet it refrains from explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally depicted roles. Its narrative centers on the classic tale of the Grinch's transformation and the spirit of community, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
The film centers on Christmas, a holiday with Christian origins, portraying its cultural traditions of community, generosity, and joy in an overwhelmingly positive and affirming light. The narrative champions the 'spirit of Christmas' as a force for good, leading to the Grinch's redemption and transformation.
The Grinch (2018) does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the Grinch's transformation and the spirit of Christmas, without touching upon queer identities or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Grinch (2018) maintains the established genders for all core characters from Dr. Seuss's original story, such as the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, and Max. New characters introduced in this adaptation do not constitute gender swaps.
The Grinch and the Whos are fictional species whose race was not explicitly defined in source material. While the 2018 film features a more diverse portrayal of Whos, no specific, named character established as one race in prior canon is depicted as a different race.
