A Tale Dark & Grimm2021

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

A Tale Dark & Grimm is modernized and lightly filtered through current values, but it doesn’t drown the material in wokeness. Some tweaks for diversity and tone, but much of the original folklore remains intact.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Some character updates and modern humor are introduced, and there’s mild emphasis on contemporary diversity, but the narrative mostly stays centered around classic fairy tales and their themes. Most changes feel cosmetic rather than intrusive, though certain character choices nudge the story toward modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Family and morality are depicted with a more modern, sometimes ironic twist, but key messages about bravery and consequence survive. Traditional folklore isn’t forcefully rewritten, though a few instances poke fun at old-fashioned values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a light ideological lean, as is fairly common in modern children’s programming. Alternative worldviews aren’t seriously explored, but the show doesn’t go out of its way to villainize tradition, just glosses over it with tongue-in-cheek narration.
