Primary
The film focuses on universally valued, apolitical themes such as family support, empathy, and personal growth, consciously avoiding explicit political statements or delving into ideologically charged topics like economic inequality.
The movie exhibits significant DEI by explicitly recasting its main protagonist, a traditionally white male role, with a Black female character. While the narrative promotes positive themes and inclusive family dynamics, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish features Winn Harper, a nonbinary character whose identity is portrayed positively and inclusively. Winn is naturally accepted by peers and fairy godparents, normalizing their presence without conflict or stereotypes. The show emphasizes acceptance, earning recognition from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups for its affirming representation in children's media.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The series introduces Winn Harper, a new nonbinary character who had no prior canonical gender in the original source material. Returning characters like Cosmo and Wanda retain their original genders. No other characters are depicted with a gender different from their established canonical gender.
The characters in "The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish" are animated and highly stylized, with no explicit real-world ethnicities or phenotypical traits defined in the source material. The original series did not establish a specific race for its main characters, thus precluding a race swap according to the provided definition.
