Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film primarily focuses on the adventure of time travel, the bond between an adopted father and son, and the importance of historical knowledge, presenting a largely apolitical narrative. While it champions an unconventional family unit against prejudice, this is framed as a universal message of love and acceptance rather than a broad ideological critique.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features primarily traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative centers on adventure and family dynamics, offering a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities and not incorporating explicit DEI critiques as central themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Mr. Peabody & Sherman does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot centers on time travel and the relationship between a genius dog and his adopted human son, with no elements pertaining to queer identity.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features female characters such as Penny Peterson, Marie Antoinette, and Ms. Grunion. However, none of these characters engage in or win close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts. Penny's scuffle with Sherman is a child's fight, not a combat feat.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film adapts characters from "Peabody's Improbable History." The two main legacy characters, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, retain their original male genders. No established characters from the source material underwent a gender change in this adaptation.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The animated film "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" (2014) adapts characters from the 1960s cartoon. All human characters, including Sherman and Penny, are depicted as the same race (white) as their original animated counterparts. Mr. Peabody is an anthropomorphic dog, so race is not applicable. No race swaps were identified.
