What We Think

"Ralph Breaks the Internet" showcases Disney’s increasingly woke tendencies. Identity-driven subplots and modern moral messaging crowd out more traditional themes, fading narrative nuance in favor of sociopolitical trends. Entertaining, but highly ideological.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film leans on contemporary internet culture and features a notable focus on female empowerment, especially with Vanellope's arc. Some viewers might argue that certain identity themes are emphasized, occasionally overshadowing organic character development. While the story remains entertaining, these inclusions feel engineered more for messaging than narrative necessity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional portrayals of masculinity and friendship are subverted: Ralph is often depicted as needy and insecure, while Vanellope’s independence and self-discovery tracks with modern ideological expectations. Family and classic values take a back seat to self-actualization tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film largely avoids any sincere representation of traditional or dissenting perspectives. Its worldview is in step with prevailing Hollywood trends, with little internal conflict or debate over its progressive messages, especially during the Disney princess meta-segment.
