What We Think

About as non-woke as a film can get. This is vintage Disney in its purest form: earnest, traditional, and blissfully unconcerned with identity politics or modern ideological trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The original 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' sticks closely to the classic fairy tale, never making identity or ideology the focus. Characters are written for their roles, not for ticking demographic boxes. No forced representation, and character development is organic, not dictated by quotas or modern agendas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film embraces traditional values—family love, innocence, morality, and even good old-fashioned masculinity embodied by the prince. It doesn't subvert, revise, or mock any longstanding traditions, opting instead for a respectful, if idealized, presentation of fairy tale culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no hint of modern ideological monoculture. The alternate, more traditional perspective is the dominant one here, and diversity of modern views is simply absent, reflecting the cultural context of the 1930s rather than pushing any contemporary agenda.
