What We Think

“Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story” is more old-school fantasy than modern soapbox. While it tweaks some classic lore, it mostly sidesteps the ‘woke’ trends that overload today's Hollywood offerings. Safe for the non-woke crowd.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This 2001 retelling mostly keeps narrative front and center. While it does reimagine some classic fairytale elements, identity politics and forced representation are almost entirely absent. Characters are developed with their motives and flaws intact, the focus stays on story, not identity checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Although the story questions greed and explores moral growth, it doesn't undermine traditional family, masculinity, or faith. There’s some revisionism in making Jack’s ancestor the real villain, but these changes feel more like creative license than ideological rewriting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren't mocked, nor is there an evident push for monocultural ideology. There’s a simple morality at work, and villainy is treated as personal failure, not the result of traditional beliefs. Pluralism survives mostly unscathed here.
