What We Think

A relic from a less 'woke' era, 'Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves' avoids modern ideological tropes, focusing instead on wholesome, silly family fun. About as non-woke as a 90s Disney sequel gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film sticks to its goofy, family-friendly sci-fi premise without overloading the script with identity politics or agendas. The characters are defined by their quirks, relationships, and blunders, not by race, gender, or sexuality. Forced representation or shoehorned-in diversity is virtually absent here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie is basically a sitcom about family chaos, miscommunication, and eventual togetherness. Traditional family, marriage, and parental roles are front-and-center, if rather cartoonish. No real subversion of gender or tradition, at worst, the dads are hapless in a classic suburban way, but not pathologized for it.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t really engaged with at all, the story is way more about slapstick miniature antics and family hijinks than pushing any ideology or mocking dissent. If anything, it's a love letter to the nuclear family trope.
