What We Think

"The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper" is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on classic cartoon antics rather than contemporary ideological themes. A solid example of a simple, agenda-free kids’ show.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The narrative remains focused on whimsical, slapstick stories true to the Casper franchise. There’s little evidence that the show prioritized modern identity themes over character development or playful ghost adventures. Character choices largely fit the context of a friendly ghost cartoon and feel merit-based.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like friendship and family ties are presented without mockery. The show doesn’t subvert masculinity or rewrite cultural norms, rather, it sticks to basic comedic tropes appropriate to its young audience. There’s very little ideological posturing here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series avoids overt political or social messaging. There’s no villainization of traditional characters or views, and little sign of an ideological monoculture. It sticks to harmless, silly fun without lecturing viewers or creating caricatures for a specific agenda.
