Miraculous World: Shanghai succeeds by shifting the franchise's typical Eurocentric focus to China, granting a significant role in driving the story to East Asian characters and avoiding superficial including someone from a minority group without giving them real depth. The film excels in gender representation and racial diversity, with capable female leaders and culturally specific characterizations. However, the special remains limited in its exploration of LGBTQ+ identities and disability, staying within traditional storytelling structures.
