Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on an individual's struggle with self-esteem and identity, ultimately championing self-acceptance and inner character over external appearance. Its themes are primarily personal and comedic, not engaging with broader political or systemic issues.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit recasting of a traditionally white lead role with a Black actor. However, its narrative primarily focuses on themes of self-acceptance and superficiality, rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The film "The Nutty Professor" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on Professor Sherman Klump's struggles with body image and self-esteem, and his transformation into an alter ego, Buddy Love, through a scientific formula.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2008 animated film is a sequel to previous iterations of "The Nutty Professor." All established characters from the prior films, such as Sherman Klump and his family, retain their original genders. New characters introduced do not constitute gender swaps.
This animated film is a sequel to the 1963 Jerry Lewis film. The main characters, including the grandson of Julius Kelp, are depicted as white, consistent with the original film's characters. No established characters from prior versions are portrayed as a different race.
