What We Think

A classic example of a non-woke film. "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" is innocent of modern ideological excess and focused purely on whimsical storytelling, making it all but untouched by the trends we see flooding entertainment today.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on classical storytelling with engaging, personality-driven characters. There is no detectable emphasis on identity politics, forced representation, or prioritizing modern ideological themes over narrative quality. It’s an old-school yarn told for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, and even a bit of old-world whimsy are all on display here, with no subversion or mockery. Masculinity, morality, and traditional roles are treated as they would have been in the era, if anything, the foundation is reinforced rather than undermined.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no evidence of ideological monoculture, no political messaging or caricatured treatment of alternative views. The film is pure entertainment without any injection of modern worldview battles. Everyone just wants to avoid Headless Horsemen and manage their motorcar debts.
