What We Think

Richie Rich (1996) is about as non-woke as you can get for a ‘90s cartoon. It keeps its eye on timeless kid-friendly themes and doesn’t go anywhere near the modern checklist of identity politics or social messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Richie Rich sticks to classic, character-driven storytelling. The focus is on Richie’s adventures, his inventions, and moral lessons, not on identity politics or forced diversity. Characters largely reflect the original comic strip, and there’s little evidence of narrative being sacrificed for modern ideologies.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family values, respect for elders, and traditional morality are central themes. The show portrays wealth and responsibility in a tongue-in-cheek, innocent way, without undermining family, faith, or classic gender roles. It maintains the lighthearted spirit of earlier source material.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative views aren’t demonized; instead, the show presents a fairly neutral worldview. There isn’t evidence of traditionalism being mocked or replaced with a modern ideological monoculture. It’s genuinely apolitical and stays in the realm of family-friendly fun.
