The Aristocats is undeniably a product of its time, blissfully untouched by modern identity politics or ideological meddling. It’s about as non-woke as a Disney film can get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Aristocats maintains strong narrative integrity, focusing on charming animal characters and classic adventure. There’s little evidence of identity-based casting or ideology-driven character traits. Characters are distinctive for their personalities, voice work, and roles, not contemporary social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Classic family themes, respect for parental figures, and a generally wholesome view of society pervade the film. There is no subversion of traditional cultural or moral values, and familial, artistic, and societal bonds are largely celebrated rather than critiqued.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is an utter lack of modern ideological messaging or mockery of alternative perspectives. The film’s worldview is light-hearted, pluralistic, and unconcerned with social commentary, letting kids be kids and cats be cats.
