Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, implicitly promoting diversity, multiculturalism, and social-emotional learning through its casting choices and thematic content, reflecting contemporary liberal cultural trends in children's media.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit racial redesign of the main character, Ariel, who is depicted as brown-skinned with dreadlocks, and features a diverse supporting cast within a Caribbean-inspired setting. The narrative promotes positive themes of curiosity, empathy, and friendship without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
Ariel and King Triton, established as white in the original Disney animated film, are portrayed as Black in this series. Ursula, also originally white, is voiced by an African American actress. These instances constitute race swaps.
The series emphasizes diverse and inclusive friendships, including same-gender friendships, and promotes universal values of kindness and respect. However, it contains no explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes, thus the portrayal is considered N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Based on the provided information, all main characters in Disney Junior's Ariel, The Little Mermaid: Songs from the Crystal Cavern maintain their original canonical genders from the source material. No characters are portrayed on screen with a different gender than their established one.
