What We Think

'Richie Rich' (1980) remains refreshingly non-woke. Its old-school approach to storytelling, respect for traditional values, and lack of heavy-handed messaging make it a rare breed in today’s landscape. This one keeps it simple and innocent.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1980s 'Richie Rich' show focuses on classic cartoon adventures with the titular wealthy boy. There’s no sign of forced identity politics, and the character-driven stories don't sacrifice integrity for representation. Richie is rich, sure, but he’s not defined by modern checkboxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, friendship, and innocent mischief are celebrated. Masculinity is portrayed in a non-apologetic, wholesome way. There’s no mockery of tradition or revisionist gender messaging. It's good, old-fashioned fun without any 'updates' to basic values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t push a unified progressive worldview. If anything, it’s a relic of its era, no moralizing about modern issues, just adventures with Richie and friends. Any ideological message is classic 'do the right thing and help others.'
