What We Think

Wolfwalkers is artistically crafted and mostly resists woke excess, though it weaves in some modern themes and soft critiques of tradition and authority. Far from the wokest fare, but not completely non-woke either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Wolfwalkers largely prioritizes storytelling and artistry over pushing overt identity politics. Characters’ traits fit the period and setting, focusing more on personality and narrative growth than box-checking. There’s some subtle modern sensibility in the independent female leads, but it doesn't blatantly overtake the heart of the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film takes a critical stance on rigid authority, namely Cromwellian England and its strict religious aspects. Family themes and tradition are present, but the story subverts them through rebellion. Masculinity isn’t overtly vilified, but traditional approaches are questioned, and the church is shown as oppressive.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the antagonist represents repressive dogma, non-woke perspectives aren’t entirely demonized. There’s a clear lean toward underdog righteousness and personal freedom, but not all traditional views are reduced to caricature. The thematic pluralism is present but undeniably skews toward a modern worldview.
