Its narrative focuses on classic fantasy themes, portraying traditional identities positively without any explicit critique or central DEI themes.
The film is a direct allegory for Christian theology, portraying themes of faith, sacrifice, redemption, and the pursuit of a divine kingdom (Aslan's Country) with profound reverence and affirmation. Aslan, the Christ-figure, is consistently depicted as the source of all good, wisdom, and salvation.
The film does not contain any explicit or implicitly identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on a fantasy adventure with allegorical undertones, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.
