Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's metaphorical portrayal of the human body as an autocratic, hierarchical system is explicitly contrasted with democratic ideals and their association with better health outcomes, inviting a critical perspective on centralized power structures.
The movie primarily features anthropomorphized cells, which inherently do not align with traditional human racial or gender identities for casting analysis. Its narrative focuses on universal themes of cooperation, health, and responsibility within a system, without critiquing or explicitly highlighting traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features the Natural Killer Cell, a female character, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple anthropomorphic pathogens and abnormal cells, demonstrating superior combat skill.
Based on available information, Cells at Work! (movie) does not feature explicit LGBTQ+ themes or characters. The narrative focuses on anthropomorphized cells and biological functions, with no noted exploration of LGBTQ+ presence or related social issues. Therefore, the film's net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.
The 2024 film maintains the established genders of characters like the female Red Blood Cell and male White Blood Cell from the original manga and anime. There are no instances where a character's canonical gender from the source material is altered in this adaptation.
The film's characters are anthropomorphized biological cells, not human beings with racial identities. Consequently, the concept of a 'race swap' does not apply to this adaptation, as there is no established human race for these characters to deviate from.
