Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This classic Soviet-era animation focuses on quirky, slapstick animal adventures with character and humor at the forefront. No modern identity politics or forced representation to be found, just the simple tale of a mischievous parrot. Character development is personality-driven, not ideology-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no undermining of family, tradition, or morality here. It’s a straightforward comedy with light lessons and doesn’t take aim at masculine roles, religion, or cultural norms, typical for its era and context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't push or parody any modern ideological perspectives. While Soviet works had their own worldview, in this context, there's no push for current woke themes or mockery of alternative views.
