Kiersey Clemons, who plays Darling in the film, said of inclusivity and the portrayal of gender roles: "It's really exciting to make a film aimed at children and show them something they maybe don't see in their own homes. Because Disney gives us the leeway to go as far as we want and create this dream world of how the world should look and how households should look. It's not always something you get the chance to do, because a lot of people, sometimes if it's not a Disney film, you're watching things inspired by real life and you're told 'NO' or 'there's no way that can go because that's really not going to happen.' But you can't tell us that, because none of this would really happen, dogs talk."
