The Little Mermaid

There is no representation of LGBTQ+ individuals in the film, which focuses solely on a traditional heterosexual relationship. The absence of diverse gender identities suggests limited inclusivity.

The male lead drives the story, while the female character is passive, waiting to be rescued. This reinforces traditional gender roles where men are the heroes and women are supportive figures.

The cast is primarily white, with very little ethnic diversity. There is no multi-layered casting or subversion of racial norms, leading to a lower score for inclusiveness.

The film upholds traditional Western family values and medical ideals. It lacks a critical examination of systemic issues, sticking to a straightforward good-versus-evil narrative.

The niece's condition is used merely as a plot device to motivate the male hero's journey. This portrayal reduces disability to a problem to be solved, lacking nuanced exploration or empowerment.
