In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Wreck-It Ralph keeps focus on storytelling and classic character arcs, almost completely sidestepping today’s standard Hollywood ideological landmines. A refreshingly non-woke outing by modern standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wreck-It Ralph is primarily a character-driven story with little focus on modern identity politics. Characters are memorable for personality, not ticking diversity checkboxes. There's no forced representation at the expense of narrative depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats classic themes, heroism, self-acceptance, friendship, with respect. There's no mockery of family, masculinity, or traditional values. If anything, it reinforces the importance of personal growth through struggle and community.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's a welcoming tone, but not at the expense of alternative viewpoints. No obvious caricaturing of dissenters or pushing a singular ideological lens. Villains are just that, villains, not vehicles for demonizing the non-woke.
