Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's narrative is primarily focused on childlike imagination and fantasy, not on identity politics. Characters are defined by their personalities and the whimsical world rather than representation quotas. There's little sign of narrative being sacrificed for current-day ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family and friendship are highlighted as positive values, with no overt undermining of traditional morals or culture. The fantasy setting leans into universal childhood themes and creativity rather than criticizing institutions or long-held traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no heavy-handed ideological messaging at play. The story is inclusive in a child-friendly way, but it doesn't push an agenda or mock alternate worldviews. Sincerity and imagination are the main themes.
