Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kung Fu Panda 3 keeps its focus on character-driven storytelling, mainly using Po's journey to address family, identity, and growth. While it does add diverse characters, this is true to its setting and genre. Identity factors are present, but they don't overshadow merit, skill, or personality within the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds themes of family, tradition, and self-discovery rooted in Chinese culture. It doesn't subvert gender roles or mock traditional values but rather embraces and celebrates them, especially the father-son dynamic and mentor-student relationships.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are not singled out for ridicule or villainization. The story offers pluralism, with different characters learning from each other and incorporating various perspectives without pushing a singular ideological lens.
