Center
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on universal, apolitical themes of friendship, integrity, and the responsible use of power, rather than promoting a specific political ideology, despite a mild critique of unethical competition.
The movie features a visibly diverse animated cast, reflecting a general sense of inclusion without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of friendship and teamwork, maintaining a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities and avoiding any explicit critique of them.
Secondary
This animated film does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline. The narrative focuses on friendship, competition, and magical elements, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features characters from the My Little Pony franchise reimagined as human teenagers. While their species changes, the established gender of all main and legacy characters remains consistent with their original portrayals.
The film features human versions of characters from My Little Pony, whose original forms are ponies, not humans. The human character designs, including their depicted races, were established in prior Equestria Girls installments and remain consistent in this film. No character previously established as one human race is portrayed as a different human race.
