What We Think

The Croods: A New Age is refreshingly non-woke. While it playfully engages with modern topics, it remains grounded in universal themes of family, acceptance, and growth without heavy-handed messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film maintains a classic family-centric adventure with quirky characters. Any nods to modern values feel more comedic than preachy. Characters are distinct, relying on personality and dynamic, not just identity markers.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, parenthood, and generational differences are at the heart of the story. There's some subversion of parental authority for comedic effect, but the film ultimately reinforces positive family and relational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints (such as the clash between the Croods and the Bettermans) are explored with genuine humor and both sides are given their moment. The movie avoids caricaturing dissenters or pushing a singular worldview.
