What We Think

'Behind the Attraction' sticks to nostalgia and theme park history, mostly avoiding the heavy-handed ideological messaging so common in recent media. Apart from a few corporate platitudes, the series is refreshingly non-woke and accessible to all audiences.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a documentary series about Disney attractions, the show focuses almost entirely on the engineering, creativity, and behind-the-scenes history, with minimal emphasis on identity politics. Any nods to diversity are brief and do not overtake the storytelling, which remains rooted in fun facts and nostalgia.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

It appears the show celebrates American innovation, family-friendly entertainment, and traditional Disney values rather than openly undermining cultural or religious traditions. There are passing mentions of progress and inclusion, but nothing that aggressively rewrites history or pushes a particular modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While modern buzzwords and corporate nods to inclusion pop up occasionally, alternative views or debates are mostly absent, not surprising for a PR-friendly Disney series. Still, the show steers clear of overt villainization of dissenting perspectives, staying light and apolitical.
