What We Think

Open Season is about as non-woke as a mainstream animated movie gets these days. It stays focused on broad comedy and simple character growth, not lecturing or rewriting tradition. A refreshing reminder of when movies were just out to entertain.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Open Season largely keeps its focus on classic underdog and buddy comedy tropes, highlighting personality and development over identity. There’s little evidence of forced representation or trendy

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film gently pokes fun at hunters and rural culture, but it's all in service of cartoonish fun, not preaching. Family, friendship, and courage are central. Traditions aren't caricatured or vilified, just given comic exaggeration.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy ideological push here. The story doesn’t presume or enforce modern identity politics; it’s a very mixed bag of animal misfits just trying to survive. No clear villainization of traditional views.
