Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t appear to sacrifice narrative for ideology. Its cast does include some diversity, but that doesn’t overwhelm the story or character arcs. Most roles seem defined by personality and plot, not just identity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are few jabs at masculinity or tradition. The movie plays family dynamics fairly straight, focusing on classic kid adventure tropes. Traditional values like family bonds and courage are mostly affirmed rather than mocked or subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t overtly villainized, and there’s no heavy-handed messaging. While it nods to modern sensibilities, it avoids excessive preaching or ideological uniformity. The plot primarily serves fun, not a soapbox, keeping things balanced for a family audience.
