This video does not follow Propp's theory because there is only one character seen in this clip. Although the only character we do see is male which agrees with parts of the theory where he argues that the narrative is lead by males.
The Hero's Journey
The film is only the beginning of the story, so the character is only at the preparation stage and has just set off on his journey. We can only assume that the other stages (Complication, Transference, Struggle, Return, Recognition) will come later in the children's film.
Levi Strauss
Due to their only being one character the chances of binary opposites is unlikely unless the rest of the narrative is extended but we can only predict this. As the protagonist is the only character he is more likely to be the hero, moral, young and strong compared to the opposites.
Todorov
In this video we do not know what happens at the end so we cannot link this to Todorov's theory. As it is only the beginning we do not know if he is an underdog, if all loose ends will be tied at the end and the narrative structure of the film. We also do not know if there will be a clear beginning, middle and end.
