Leans Traditional
Primary

The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast, consistent with its era. Its narrative is a lighthearted musical fantasy that does not engage in critiques of traditional identities or explicitly incorporate DEI themes.
Secondary
Xanadu (1980) is a musical fantasy film primarily centered on a heterosexual romance and the creation of a roller disco. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
