The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of adventure, friendship, and personal achievement, with any potential political undertones (like challenging the establishment or cultural diversity) being too subtle and universally agreeable to constitute a clear ideological bias.
The movie exhibits significant DEI, primarily driven by its casting choice to feature Jackie Chan in the traditionally white role of Passepartout. While the story takes viewers through diverse cultures and includes an antagonist representing a rigid establishment, it does not explicitly portray traditional identities negatively or center its narrative on a strong DEI critique.
The character Passepartout, canonically a white Frenchman in the source novel, is portrayed by an East Asian actor. Additionally, the character Aouda, an Indian princess in the novel, is replaced by a white French character.
The film 'Around the World in 80 Days' (2004) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely focused on the protagonists' global adventure, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the story.
The film features Monique La Roche as the main female character. While she is intelligent and resourceful, she does not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents. The action sequences primarily involve male characters in comedic martial arts scenarios.
The 2004 film adaptation introduces new characters and alters the plot but retains the canonical gender of its core characters, Phileas Fogg and Passepartout, from the original novel. No established character undergoes a gender change.
