The Little Mermaid (2023)

The film's dominant themes of bridging divides between different groups and a young woman's pursuit of individual autonomy against patriarchal authority align with progressive values, presented within a classic fairy tale narrative.

The movie demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit racial recasting of its lead character, who was traditionally depicted as white. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.

The film does not explicitly feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Ariel's journey to the human world and her relationship with Prince Eric, without incorporating any identifiable LGBTQ+ elements.

The film does not feature any scenes where a female character engages in and wins direct physical combat against one or more male opponents. The primary conflict involves magical powers and environmental interactions rather than close-quarters physical fights.
