What We Think

‘Around the World With Willy Fog’ is a textbook example of non-woke animation, classic adventures, a respect for cultural heritage, and zero modern ideological grandstanding. It’s as innocuous as cartoon adventures get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is a straightforward adaptation of Jules Verne's novel, utilizing animal characters but keeping the focus on adventure and storytelling. There's little to no sign of shoehorned identity politics or sacrificing plot for ideology. Character traits are largely based on narrative needs rather than ticking diversity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values are prevalent, with themes of honor, friendship, bravery, and determination. Masculinity is presented positively via Willy Fog, and there’s no obvious undermining of family, religion, or morality. Its worldview is squarely rooted in classic storytelling and cultural respect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are not mocked or villainized. The show radiates a sense of pluralism through global adventure, and while not deeply nuanced, it doesn’t push a single modern ideological view. It’s refreshingly neutral compared to today’s offerings.
