Progressive
Primary
The series explicitly promotes a progressive ideology by centering a Black Caribbean protagonist and family, emphasizing racial and cultural diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusive social values, alongside a reinterpretation of traditional characters to foster empathy.
This movie demonstrates explicit DEI through its casting, featuring a Black Ariel and a multi-ethnic cast that reimagines traditionally white roles. The narrative is centrally focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion, drawing heavily from Caribbean culture and promoting themes of inclusivity and acceptance for young audiences.
Secondary
The character Ariel, originally depicted as Caucasian in the 1989 animated film, is portrayed as Black in this series, which aligns with the definition of a race swap.
The 2024 Disney Junior series 'Disney Jr.'s Ariel' does not explicitly portray LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While it promotes inclusivity through diverse representation and general friendships, it does not specifically address the LGBTQ+ community within its narrative, resulting in no depiction.
