Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's narrative is a classic fantasy adventure centered on animal communication and a quest for a cure, which are inherently apolitical themes focused on individual courage and friendship rather than any specific political ideology.
The movie incorporates a diverse voice cast for its animal characters and includes some non-white actors in supporting human roles. However, the primary human characters maintain traditional casting. The narrative focuses on a classic adventure without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
Dolittle does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Dr. Dolittle's adventure to save the Queen, with no explicit or implicit queer representation present in the story or its diverse cast of human and animal characters.
The film "Dolittle" (2020) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a veterinarian who can speak to animals and his adventure to find a cure for the Queen, with no elements related to transgender identity present in the story.
The film features no human female characters who engage in direct physical combat. While some female animal characters participate in action sequences, none meet the criteria of defeating male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts in close-quarters combat.
The film adapts the classic Doctor Dolittle stories. Key characters like Dr. Dolittle and Tommy Stubbins retain their established male genders from the source material. New characters introduced in this adaptation do not count as gender swaps per the definition.
The character of Doctor Dolittle, originally depicted as a white Englishman in the source books, is portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. (white). No other significant characters in the film represent a race swap from their established canonical or historical depictions.
