Primary
The series focuses on the apolitical themes of creativity, friendship, and teamwork as the Muppets produce their own show, offering no discernible political commentary or ideological leanings.
The movie primarily features a diverse cast of Muppet characters, which, by their nature as puppets, do not engage in explicit racial or gender recasting of traditional human roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, without incorporating explicit DEI critiques or themes as central to its plot.
Secondary
The children's television segment 'Jim Henson's Little Muppet Monsters' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The content is focused on the whimsical adventures of the Muppets, consistent with children's programming of its era, and therefore, no LGBTQ+ portrayal is present.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The show features established Muppet characters, such as Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie, who maintain their canonical genders from previous Muppet productions. No characters established as one gender in prior canon are portrayed as a different gender in this series.
The show features Muppet characters, who are puppets and not human. The concept of a 'race swap' as defined, which applies to human characters or historical figures, does not apply to these non-human characters.
