What We Think

"Blank Check" is about as non-woke as 90s Disney movies get, focusing on innocent fun over ideology. Nothing to see here except a goofy 90s power fantasy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Blank Check" is a straightforward kids’ comedy, and the cast/plot keeps identity politics almost entirely out of the picture. Characters are written as individuals with clear (sometimes silly) motivations, not ideological statements. No forced representation to be found, unless you count the unlikely premise!

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, morality, and authority figures are portrayed in a pretty standard, non-parodic way for 90s kids’ films. There’s no subverting of gender roles or preaching about cultural revisionism. The movie is more interested in kid wish-fulfillment than in undermining any traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no ideological messaging, let alone monoculture. No straw-men, caricatures, or mockery of dissenting views, just your classic 'kid vs. clueless adults' antics. The only 'uniformity' is that everyone wants some money!
