Primary
The series maintains a neutral stance by balancing themes of individual enterprise and the pursuit of wealth with strong emphasis on family unity and the ethical implications of greed, avoiding explicit political messaging.
The animated series DuckTales (2017) incorporates significant diversity through the explicit reimagining of a traditionally white character, Fenton Crackshell, as a character of Hispanic descent. While the show features a broad range of characters and promotes themes of family and adventure, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.
Secondary
DuckTales (2017) includes a positive, albeit minor, portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters through Violet Sabrewing's two dads. They are depicted as a normal, loving, and supportive family unit, integrating same-sex parenting into the show's world without conflict or commentary, thus affirming LGBTQ+ family structures.
The character Fenton Crackshell, originally depicted as a white male in the 1987 series, is portrayed as Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, a Latino male, in the 2017 reboot. This constitutes a race swap for a canonically established character.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2017 DuckTales reboot maintains the established genders of its legacy characters from the original series and comics. No character canonically or widely known as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in this adaptation.
