The Little Mermaid (1989)

The film 'The Little Mermaid' does not contain any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual romance and family dynamics, with no explicit or implicit representation of queer identities or experiences.

The film does not depict any female characters engaging in or winning direct physical combat against one or more male opponents. The primary antagonist, Ursula, uses magic, and her defeat is at the hands of a male character, Prince Eric.

The 1989 animated film adapts Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. All major characters, including the Little Mermaid, the Sea Witch, the Prince, and the Sea King, maintain their established genders from the original source material. New characters introduced for the film do not count as gender swaps.

The 1989 film adapted Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, which did not explicitly establish character races. The film's portrayal of characters like Ariel and Prince Eric as white established their visual canon rather than changing a previously defined race, thus no race swap occurred.
