What We Think

‘The Flintstones’ (1994) keeps its prehistoric feet firmly in non-woke territory. It's an old-fashioned family comedy that focuses more on gags and puns than modern social ideology. If you're seeking non-woke popcorn entertainment, this is yabba-dabba-doo for you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks closely to the original cartoon's comedic formula. Characters are cast traditionally; story focuses on family antics and workplace misadventures without prioritizing identity over plot. Any representation choices appear incidental rather than forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film playfully presents traditional gender roles and family values, lampooning but not demonizing masculinity or familial authority. Religion and traditional morality exist only via cartoon Stone Age analogies, with no attempts to undermine them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Multiple viewpoints exist , from the bumbling protagonist to ambitious corporate baddies , without reducing dissenters to simple bigots or caricatures. Modern ideological debates are almost absent, leaving the setting free of heavy-handed messaging.
