Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central focus on family reconciliation and individual transformation through imagination and emotional connection positions it as neutral, as it critiques ideological extremes from both sides (Mr. Banks's rigid adherence to work, Mrs. Banks's distraction by activism) in favor of universal values.
The film features a traditional cast reflecting its historical setting, with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative does not present a critical portrayal of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes as central to its story.
Secondary
The film, set in a culturally Christian London, subtly promotes universal virtues like charity, love, and family through Mary Poppins's influence, particularly highlighted by the 'Feed the Birds' sequence outside St Paul's Cathedral. It affirms these values without being overtly religious, aligning with the dignity of such virtues.
Mary Poppins does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story and its characters operate entirely within a heteronormative context, reflecting the period in which the film was made and its source material. Therefore, the film has no discernible impact, positive or negative, on the portrayal of LGBTQ+ individuals.
