What We Think

A relic of a more carefree era, ‘What’s Opera, Doc?’ is blissfully non-woke. It plays with archetypes for comedy’s sake and sticks to entertainment over ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'What's Opera, Doc?' is a classic Looney Tunes parody blending opera and slapstick. There’s no forced representation or prioritization of identity politics. All characters, including Bugs and Elmer, are played for laughs in a timeless cartoon tradition, not as ideological symbols.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The cartoon embraces and pokes fun at opera, without undermining religion, family, masculinity, or traditional cultural touchstones. Humor is derived from exaggeration, not cultural revisionism. Gender roles are played up purely for comedic effect without any agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No hint of modern ideological monoculture here. The short avoids moralizing and simply aims for laughs, with no lectures on gender or politics, and absolutely no villainization of traditional viewpoints.
