This animated short features a diverse cast of characters, including prominent roles for Black and Latino individuals, consistent with its source material. The narrative focuses on a lighthearted adventure without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
