What We Think

All Dogs Go to Heaven is refreshingly non-woke. The narrative, values, and tone all predate modern identity politics, focusing instead on classic storytelling and timeless morality. If you're tired of Hollywood's recent trends, this one won't raise your blood pressure.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

All Dogs Go to Heaven is a late-80s animated film that focuses on classic storytelling. The characters, mostly dogs, are defined by their personalities and actions rather than any overt focus on modern identity themes. There's no sense of forced representation or ideological casting interfering with narrative integrity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie upholds traditional virtues like redemption, sacrifice, and the importance of family, all presented without any attempt to undermine faith or classic morality. If anything, the afterlife and redemption arcs reinforce spiritual and cultural values rather than deconstruct them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents a fairly universal worldview centered around kindness, love, and second chances, values shared across cultures and generations. It doesn't caricature alternative views nor does it shoehorn in modern ideological debates or consensus.
