The Story of Babar: The Little Elephant1931

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A prime example of a non-woke classic. 'The Story of Babar' is refreshingly untouched by the pressures of modern ideological representation and largely reflects old-school storytelling priorities. Probably wouldn't even get published today without a swarm of sensitivity readers.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story stays focused on classic fairy-tale themes of adventure, loss, and accomplishment. Characters are defined by personality and action, not identity politics. No force-fit diversity here, it's all about the journey and the lessons, not sticking checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family values are central, with motherhood and community playing key roles. Some might raise an eyebrow about colonial undertones, but these are a product of the times and not an active undermining of cultural foundations or traditional structures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's zero emphasis on any modern ideological consensus; the world is presented as straightforward, with basic good-versus-evil and no overt progressive messaging. Dissenters aren't vilified, because, quite frankly, there aren't any ideological debates at all.
