Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Leans Left

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central conflict revolves around universal themes of grief, family, and finding purpose, which are resolved through personal courage and the formation of a supportive, albeit unconventional, community, positioning it as politically neutral.

Diversity: HighConfidence: High

The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its intentional casting of a diverse ensemble, including a Black lead protagonist, for a major studio film based on a popular intellectual property. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center strong DEI themes in its plot.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NeutralConfidence: High

The film includes minor, incidental mentions of LGBTQ+ identities through supporting characters. Bruce Davis casually refers to his husband, and Gabbie briefly alludes to a past relationship with a woman. These details are presented without emphasis or judgment, neither central to the plot nor a source of conflict, resulting in a neutral portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film introduces new characters while portraying established figures from the Haunted Mansion lore, such as Madame Leota and the Hatbox Ghost, with their canonical genders. No character previously established as one gender is depicted as a different gender in this adaptation.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film adapts characters from a theme park attraction where the race of the ghostly figures was never explicitly specified or visually unambiguous. The main human characters are original to this film adaptation.
