New Showbiz Analysis

The film tries to be inclusive by avoiding traditional gender roles. By putting female characters in charge, it avoids the usual male-dominated adventure stories. However, the film's diversity is limited because we can't verify LGBTQ+, racial, or disability representation among the non-human characters. Overall, while the characters challenge some norms, the range of representation is still narrow.
