What We Think

'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' is a comforting, apolitical slice of animation. If you're searching for hardline ideology, you'll be disappointed; it's more a gentle bedtime story than a manifesto. Very low on the 'woke' scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film, based on the beloved book, is more about gentle, universal messages of kindness and acceptance, rather than pushing any overt identitarian narrative. Characters aren't defined by things like gender or race, and the story focuses more on personality and life lessons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is definitely modern in tone, it doesn't actively undermine tradition, faith, family, or masculinity. The focus is on uplifting messages, friendship, and self-reflection , hardly a hotbed of culture war themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There's not much space for conflicting ideas, true, but the film's worldview is so soft and broad that it doesn't browbeat viewers or caricature alternative perspectives. It opts for positivity, not ideological posturing.
