What We Think

Hotel Transylvania 2 is about as non-woke as modern animated films get. It focuses on laughs and family hijinks rather than ideological messaging, only gently brushing up against modern themes, and rarely, at that.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hotel Transylvania 2 is primarily a family comedy with character archetypes that serve the story's humorous tone rather than acting as vehicles for modern ideological points. There's minimal evidence of forced representation or narrative compromise for identity politics, with characters fitting the outlandish supernatural world.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film leans into traditional family and parental themes (Dracula worried about his grandson's heritage) rather than upending them. While it gently pokes fun at generational differences, it doesn't actively undermine religion, masculinity, or classic values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie mostly avoids heavy ideological themes. While it encourages acceptance, that's typical for children's fare and doesn't reach preachy territory. Traditional and alternative perspectives are both played for comedic effect, without clear villainization or monocultural messaging.
