In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

An old-school animated adventure in the best sense: playful, family-friendly, and utterly unconcerned with modern “woke” trends. It’s a breath of non-woke fresh air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' keeps its storytelling about fun and character-driven humor. Casting and character arcs focus on the personalities and relationships, not identity politics. There’s no evidence of forced representation or obvious prioritization of ideology over narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie embraces family themes, explores fatherhood, and pokes fun at both male and female roles in a lighthearted, non-preachy way. Religion and tradition aren’t really addressed, but there’s no attempt to undermine cultural norms, either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s virtually no trace of ideological preaching, modern political themes, or monolithic worldviews. Alternative perspectives aren't attacked, nobody here is being used as a stand-in for “outdated” beliefs. This is classic, non-woke family entertainment.
