The story focuses on classic character dynamics, such as found family, friendship, and adventure. There’s no noticeable emphasis on identity-based casting or forced representation. Character depth comes from personality and growth, not external traits. It’s all very straightforward, with nothing that obviously compromises narrative for an ideology.

Traditional values, family, parenthood, and loyalty, are front and center. Religion is basically absent but not mocked, and masculinity isn’t pathologized. Diego’s fear of water is played for laughs, not as a jab at masculine roles. No subversive messaging here, just some likable prehistoric critters surviving together.

The film portrays unity and working together, but there's no clear ideological monoculture. Different personalities are given space, and there aren’t caricatured villains representing traditional perspectives. It’s a pretty ideologically neutral script, a time before every secondary character needed to broadcast the latest trending hashtag.
