What We Think

Trolls World Tour dances to Hollywood’s latest tune, putting diversity and celebration of difference above traditional storytelling and values. It’s all about unity, but mostly on one very colorful, very woke set of terms.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Trolls World Tour strongly foregrounds its message about diversity, celebrating every identity through literal musical tribes. While colorful and fun, the film's story feels secondary to its themes: every group is special, and all must be celebrated. Some viewers might feel the narrative is constructed more to tick representation boxes than to organically tell a story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film gently subverts traditional family bonds and authority with an “all cultures, all families are equal” approach. Masculinity is softened, and parents are shown as out of touch while the younger generation leads the way in moral lessons. Traditional cultural foundations are diluted in favor of a “unity through difference” ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The movie’s message is nearly uniform: difference is always good and must always be celebrated, with little authentic conflict or critique of this worldview. Dissenters are depicted as villainous or ignorant. There’s no room for alternative perspectives beyond ‘harmony in diversity.’
