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

Elena of Avalor leans into diversity and modern values, sometimes at narrative expense. While less overtly woke than some Disney fare, its approach to representation and cultural themes can feel heavy-handed, though it still honors family and tradition at times.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show centers on a Latina princess and clearly foregrounds her heritage. While her skills and leadership are shown, at times the narrative feels secondary to diversity messaging, with identity as a defining theme of her character rather than her personal growth or abilities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Elena of Avalor celebrates Latin culture and family, which is refreshing. However, traditional gender roles are subverted; Elena is depicted as a flawless, wise leader, which may overcorrect and underplay masculine or balanced dynamics.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are largely absent or simplified, and modern values are presented as unquestioned good. Traditional or dissenting voices rarely get nuanced attention, though the show avoids outright villainizing them.
