Flipper's New Adventure (1964)
Flipper's New Adventure (1964)
Overview
While widowed Porter Ricks is away at school learning to be a park ranger, his teen-aged son, Sandy, under adult supervision from a neighbor, remains at the family home in the Florida Keys with his pet dolphin, Flipper. While Po (as Porter is called by most) is away, Sandy learns that the family home, built on state land, is being torn down to make way for a highway. In turn, Sandy would be sent to live with relatives, while Flipper would be sent to the seaquarium permanently. Not wanting to be separated from Flipper, Sandy, using his skiff, runs away with Flipper. A distraught Po returns home to look for his son. Meanwhile, the Hopewell family from Britain are vacationing in the area. Their sailboat is hijacked by three escaped convicts, who take the father, Halsey, hostage, and set the three Hopewell women - mother Julia, and teen-aged daughters Gwen and Penny - adrift, they who eventually land on the island where Sandy is hiding...

Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central narrative revolves around a boy's coming-of-age conflict with parental authority and his bond with a dolphin, resolving through reconciliation and compromise rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The film features traditional casting with no apparent intentional race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative, typical for a 1964 family adventure, does not include critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Based on available information and the film's context as a 1964 family adventure about a boy and a dolphin, there is no indication of identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film does not depict any LGBTQ+ content.
Based on the film's title, release year (1964), and general genre as a family adventure about a boy and a dolphin, there is no indication or information to suggest the presence of transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, the film does not depict any such elements.
The film is a family adventure centered on a boy and his dolphin. There are no scenes depicting female characters engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents.
The film "Flipper's New Adventure" (1964) features established characters like Sandy Ricks maintaining their original gender. New characters introduced do not replace existing ones with a different gender, thus no gender swap occurs.
