Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's emphasis on collective cooperation and defined community roles, interpreted by some as echoing communist propaganda, aligns with left-leaning collectivist ideals, despite the political subtext being light and serving primarily as a backdrop.
The movie features a cast with visible diversity, though its core characters are non-human. Its narrative focuses on universal positive social values like self-belief, community, and teamwork, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on specific DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features 'Vanity' as a female Smurf. Vanity Smurf is a well-established canonical character who has historically been portrayed as male, indicating a gender swap for this character.
The 2025 Smurfs movie does not feature explicit LGBTQ+ themes or characters. The narrative focuses on community, identity, and friendship, without addressing LGBTQ+ representation directly. Available information indicates an absence of such portrayals in this film iteration.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Smurfs are blue-skinned creatures, not human, and their race is not defined in human terms. While voice actors for Smurfs are diverse, this does not constitute a race swap as the characters' on-screen appearance and established 'race' (Smurf) remain unchanged. Human characters are predominantly white.
