Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's subject matter, a children's fantasy adventure, inherently lacks strong political valence, and its themes of friendship, self-empowerment, and environmental awareness are presented as universal positive values rather than explicit ideological statements.
The movie features a cast that includes Barbie and her sisters, consistent with their traditional portrayals, and does not appear to include explicit race or gender swaps for these core roles. The narrative focuses on adventure and positive themes, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making strong DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The film "Barbie: Mermaid Power" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Barbie and her friends' mermaid adventures, without incorporating any elements related to queer identity or experiences. Therefore, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate within the movie's content.
The film "Barbie: Mermaid Power" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on adventure and friendship within a cisgender framework, resulting in no depiction relevant to transgender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film features original characters within the Barbie universe, and established characters like Barbie remain consistently female. There are no instances of characters previously established as one gender being portrayed as another.
The film features two main characters named Barbie: Barbie "Malibu" Roberts (white) and Barbie "Brooklyn" Roberts (Black). Barbie "Brooklyn" Roberts is an original character introduced in this modern animated continuity, not a race-swapped version of a previously established character.
