Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter, a fantasy musical about a tribe of cats and a spiritual rebirth ritual, is inherently apolitical. Its themes of community, acceptance, and compassion for the marginalized are presented universally rather than through an explicit ideological lens.
This adaptation of 'Cats' is assessed as having visible diversity in its ensemble cast, consistent with modern musical productions, without explicit recasting of traditionally human roles given the nature of the characters. The narrative focuses on its fantasy elements and does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, nor does it center strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The animated film 'Cats' (directed by Gary Wang, likely 'Cats & Peachtopia') does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story focuses on a father-son relationship and an adventure to a mythical land, without incorporating elements related to queer identity.
The film, an animated adventure, does not feature any female characters engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts. Female characters primarily contribute through agility, flight, or strategic assistance rather than close-quarters fighting.
The 2018 animated film "Cats," directed by Gary Wang, features an original story and characters. As the characters were created specifically for this film and do not have prior canonical genders from source material, no gender swaps occurred.
The characters in "Cats" are anthropomorphic felines, not human. The source material (poems and stage musical) does not establish a specific human race for any character, making a race swap impossible by definition.
