What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Nightmare Before Christmas focuses on story, creativity, and unique characters rather than identity politics. There is no forced diversity or prioritizing of identity traits over actual character development. The narrative is strong, and characters are well-rounded without relying on modern ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is largely apolitical, telling a whimsical, gothic story. There’s no subversion of traditional gender or family roles, nor does it undermine cultural traditions in any apparent way. The narrative remains neutral on issues of religion or morality beyond what’s necessary for fairytale storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked, and there’s no clear ideological messaging. Characters are varied and not used as mouthpieces for a modern agenda. The film’s focus is on fantasy, not sociopolitical debate, resulting in ideological pluralism by omission.
