What We Think

Babe is a near-textbook example of a non-woke film. Its charm is timeless, with no forced messaging or heavy-handed social commentary, just a heartwarming story where even the toughest farmer can learn something from a talking pig.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Babe prioritizes storytelling and character development over identity themes. Its ensemble of talking animals is diverse, but purely for narrative whimsy, not to make ideological points. The film’s sincerity and focus on innocence leave little room for forced representation or modern ideological framing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and hard work are celebrated. Masculinity, femininity, and faith are all depicted in gentle, positive ways, with no subversion or satire. There is no sign of present-day cultural revisionism, that pig just wants to herd sheep. It doesn’t get more wholesome than this.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No sign of ideological monoculture here. There’s no modern dogma, and alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized. The film’s themes are simple: kindness, acceptance, and believing in yourself, which are framed in a universal, non-political way.
