What We Think

Hallmark’s 1999 "Alice in Wonderland" remains refreshingly non-woke, preserving the nonsensical charm and innocence of Carroll’s vision with minimal intrusion from modern ideological concerns.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland" mostly sticks to the original narrative without swapping in modern identity politics. Characters are whimsical as written by Carroll, with little emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality. No sense that character traits or arcs are based on ideological decisions rather than story requirements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats tradition, childhood innocence, and established gender roles with respect, staying true to its Victorian roots. There's no detectable effort to mock religion, family, or masculinity. The story’s themes remain classic and untouched by modern revisionism or subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no sign that alternative viewpoints are villainized or that the film pushes a uniform modern ideology. The presentation avoids contemporary debates about gender or identity, merely focusing on the source material’s intended whimsy.
