Primary
Charming leans left by subverting traditional fairy tale tropes, emphasizing genuine connection over superficial attraction, and featuring a strong, independent female protagonist who challenges conventional gender roles.
The movie features a diverse voice cast for its main characters, including Latino actors for Prince Charming and Lenore, and an Asian actress for Sleeping Beauty, for roles traditionally depicted as white. The narrative subtly critiques superficiality and subverts traditional fairy tale tropes, particularly regarding the male lead's charm and the female lead's agency, without explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively.
Secondary
The film features Lenore, a skilled thief and fighter, who is shown to be victorious in direct physical contests against male opponents. This includes defeating Prince Charming in a sparring session and neutralizing multiple male guards using her combat skills.
The animated film 'Charming' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its storyline is entirely focused on heterosexual romance within a traditional fairy tale setting, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity or experiences.
The film features classic fairy tale characters like Prince Charming, Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty, all of whom maintain their canonically established genders. Original characters introduced in the film do not constitute gender swaps.
The animated film 'Charming' features characters from European fairy tales, traditionally depicted as white. While some voice actors are of different races, the on-screen animated portrayals of characters like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Prince Charming do not visually alter their established racial appearance from their source material.
