What We Think

Smurfs: The Lost Village slips in some mild woke messaging through its focus on Smurfette’s unique identity and the subversion of established gender roles, though it remains mostly a harmless kids' adventure with only moderate ideological fingerprints.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The plot focuses on Smurfette seeking her identity in a male-dominated Smurf village. While gender is a key theme, the film largely remains a traditional kid's adventure. However, Smurfette's uniqueness and ultimate leadership can feel a bit forced in modern ideological terms, taking slight precedence over classic character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There's an apparent effort to question traditional gender roles by highlighting Smurfette as special because of her gender. While family and teamwork are still central, the emphasis on female empowerment over classic themes nudges the woke needle upward.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional worldviews aren’t overtly mocked, but the film largely centers on Smurfette’s journey of self-discovery and empowerment, with little space for counter-voices or deeper pluralism in its messaging.
