Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film explores the challenges faced by a vulnerable, hidden community and the importance of empathy, but its central message emphasizes individual resilience and the necessity of adaptation and relocation for survival rather than advocating for systemic change or a specific political ideology.

The movie features traditional casting consistent with its Japanese cultural context, without any explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on themes of coexistence and survival, and does not include critical portrayals of traditional identities or explicit DEI-driven critiques.

Secondary

The Secret World of Arrietty does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story focuses on the interactions between humans and the tiny 'Borrowers,' exploring themes of friendship, survival, and environmentalism. Therefore, the film has no net impact on LGBTQ+ representation.

The Secret World of Arrietty is an animated fantasy film centered on the lives of tiny 'Borrowers' and their struggle for survival. The narrative does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or explore themes related to gender identity or transition. Consequently, the film has no discernible impact on the portrayal of transsexual individuals or related topics.

The film features Arrietty, a small Borrower, who primarily uses stealth and evasion to navigate the human world and escape capture. While she faces threats, including the human housekeeper Haru (female), there are no instances where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat.

The film is an adaptation of Mary Norton's novel "The Borrowers." All major characters, including Arrietty, Pod, Homily, and Sho, retain the same genders as established in the original source material. No instances of gender swapping are present.

The characters in Mary Norton's original novel, "The Borrowers," were not explicitly defined by human racial categories. As such, the animated film's portrayal does not constitute a change from an established race.
