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

Angelina Ballerina is almost comically non-woke by today’s standards. It's exactly what you'd expect from a sweet, early-2000s British children's cartoon about a mouse with big ballet dreams, zero ideological posturing, just dance shoes and well-behaved rodents. Safe for all audiences.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Angelina Ballerina sticks to a charming, classical children's story formula where character personalities and growth take center stage. There's no evidence of forced representation or out-of-place focus on identity politics over character development, especially by 2001 standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show presents wholesome themes around family, friendship, discipline, and artistic aspiration. There's no subversion of traditional values, if anything, it's a love letter to traditional performing arts, with respect for teachers, parents, and community.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn’t any deliberate sidelining of traditional viewpoints, nor are alternative perspectives mocked. The show's cast and messages are quite neutral and universal, focused on childhood struggles and joys.
