What We Think

George of the Jungle swings free of 21st-century wokeness. Its satire is harmless, story-driven, and light on ideological baggage. Put simply: this is fun, not a lecture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

George of the Jungle keeps things refreshingly straightforward: character arcs are silly and light-hearted, but never derailed by heavy-handed ideology. Casting choices don’t seem dictated by box-checking or forced diversity. This is good old-fashioned slapstick, where character traits (or lack thereof, George isn’t exactly deep) come first.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, romance, and even playful takes on masculinity are presented with a wink, but never as targets for ideological revisionism. It pokes fun at tropes, but never tries to 'correct' them. There’s no effort to rewrite cultural or gender norms here, just comedic fun.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No ideological sermons, no lectures, and no villains who exist purely to embody traditional viewpoints for shaming. The story is a parody of Tarzan, not a soapbox. Modern social issues are blissfully absent, making this film a breath of non-woke jungle air.
