The film's central conflict, involving a young girl saving a magical world from a tyrannical ruler and restoring order, is framed through universal fantasy tropes of good versus evil and self-discovery, making its core themes apolitical.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through explicit racial recasting of a traditionally white role, such as Drosselmeyer, and features a visibly diverse supporting cast. However, its fantasy narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of them.
The film features Drosselmeyer and the Nutcracker (Captain Philip Hoffman), characters traditionally depicted as white in the source material and its adaptations, portrayed by Black actors.
The film 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative focuses on a traditional fantasy adventure without incorporating elements related to queer identity, resulting in no net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film does not depict any female character engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. While female characters are present, their roles do not involve direct physical combat victories against men.
The film adapts the classic Nutcracker story, maintaining the established genders for all major and recognizable characters from the source material, such as Clara, the Nutcracker, Drosselmeyer, and the Sugar Plum Fairy. No character canonically or widely established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender.
