The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or non-cisnormative identities. All interpersonal relationships follow conventional heteronormative frameworks without exploring diverse romantic dynamics.

Lucy and Susan Pevensie demonstrate significant agency and intuition during the quest. However, the narrative maintains traditional hierarchies by centering Peter as the primary military leader.

The human protagonists are demographically homogeneous. Diversity is instead expressed through various non-human species, which serve as metaphors for indigenous populations facing conquest.

The story critiques industrial authoritarianism through the conflict between the Telmarines and Narnia's natural order. It explores the tension between imperialistic expansion and spiritual, nature-aligned existence.

There is minimal focus on physical or neurodivergent disabilities. Characters are defined by their utility to the quest rather than their experiences navigating disability.
