What We Think

Monsters vs. Aliens (2013) is a relatively non-woke show. It keeps its focus on humor and adventure, not identity or ideology. If you're tired of the endless parade of lectures in modern cartoons, this is a throwback to simpler storytelling with no woke overload.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show largely focuses on fun, adventure, and teamwork over identity politics. Characters fit their roles based more on personality quirks than any box-ticking on gender, race, or sexuality. The main cast is diverse in species but not in a forced way. Nothing really suggests narrative was sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, teamwork, and friendship are central in a way that's pretty wholesome and reminiscent of classic kids' cartoons. Masculinity isn’t mocked, nor are classic family or moral values undermined. There isn’t much subversion, just cartoonish fun and harmless tropes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, the only worldview being pushed is one of accepting differences and teamwork, the standard fare in kids’ animation for decades. No heavy-handed ideological messaging or villainization of traditional perspectives. The tone is playful, not preachy.
