Question 1

Is Black Beauty woke?

Accepted Answer

Black Beauty has a woke score of 64/100, which means it is mixed, with noticeable woke elements. The movie gender-swaps the horse Black Beauty into a mare and makes the main human a teenage girl so the story can hammer the girl-horse bond as female empowerment. Director Ashley Avis openly called the change “timely” for “giving a voice to underrepresented ones today.” It keeps pushing girl power, mare leadership in herds, and resilience themes while adding light climate nods and heavy animal-welfare lectures on wild-horse roundups. Average viewers will clearly see the modern representation framing layered on the classic horse story.

Question 2

Is there DEI in Black Beauty?

The biggest factors in our score are Representation / casting choices, Legacy character or canon changes, Identity-driven story themes. Born free in the American West, Black Beauty is a horse rounded up and brought to Birtwick Stables, where she meets spirited teenager Jo Green.
