What We Think

Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021) plays it safe, favoring family-friendly adventure over ideological lecturing. There's mild wokeness in its diversity and modern touches, but the film doesn't aggressively push a message. It's more about the antics of a giant red dog than social engineering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021) keeps its primary focus on lighthearted family fun and a classic underdog story. While there are nods to diversity and some modern sensibilities in casting and character traits, these don't fundamentally override the core story or its emotional arc.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, friendship, and community values are central to the plot. There's a gentle embrace of diversity, but not at the expense of longstanding cultural or moral foundations. Masculinity, family, and even authority figures are treated mostly respectfully, avoiding overt revisionism or subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film has a broadly inclusive and positive worldview, alternative or traditional perspectives aren't caricatured as villainous. The plot avoids getting bogged down in ideological speechifying, though it does lean into the modern Hollywood trend of broad, inoffensive positivity.
