Leans Traditional
Primary
Casper is a largely apolitical film centered on universal themes of grief, loneliness, and the importance of friendship and family, with its solutions rooted in emotional connection rather than political ideology.
The movie 'Casper' features a predominantly white and mainstream cast, typical of its release era, without any intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, with no explicit DEI themes central to the storyline.
Secondary
The film 'Casper' does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative centers on heterosexual characters and a friendly ghost, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film's main characters, Casper and the Ghostly Trio, maintain their established male genders from the original Harvey Comics. Other significant characters are original to this film adaptation and do not represent gender swaps from prior canon.
The film's main characters are either original creations for this adaptation or, in the case of Casper and the Ghostly Trio, their on-screen portrayals align with their established (spectral) appearances from the source comics. No characters established as one race were depicted as another.
