Disney Junior's Ariel does not explicitly feature LGBTQ+ characters or storylines. While praised for its diverse representation, including Black and Latina characters and positive same-gender friendships, it lacks specific LGBTQ+ themes. Interpretations of queer coding from the original Little Mermaid franchise are not directly addressed in this series, resulting in no explicit LGBTQ+ portrayal.

The Disney Junior show *Ariel* (2024) does not explicitly feature transsexual characters or themes in its narrative. Although the broader *Little Mermaid* franchise has shown inclusivity in casting for other projects and cultural interpretations of the story exist, these are distinct from the show's direct content, resulting in no depiction within the series itself.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 2024 Disney Junior series *Ariel* portrays its main characters, including Ariel, King Triton, and Ursula, with their canonical genders consistent with the original source material. No characters have their on-screen gender differ from their established gender.
