What We Think

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to classic storytelling without bending over backwards for modern identity politics. It’s a zany noir romp, not a self-serious lecture on culture or ideology. A rare relic in today’s landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film prioritizes story, character, and genre over pushing modern ideological themes. Casting choices and character development reflect 1940s Hollywood tropes, with no signs of forced identity emphasis. Roger Rabbit remains all about slapstick, not soapbox.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie leans heavily on classic Americana, morality, and traditional family values. Masculinity is played for laughs rather than subverted, and there's no rewriting of culture or history to align with modern sensibilities. It's more noir parody than cultural revision.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No overt promotion or demonization of any ideological viewpoint. The plot sticks to its murder mystery-comedy foundation, avoiding present-day moralizing. Alternate worldviews are present simply through the contrast between 'toons and humans, not as political statements.
