Question 1

Is Despicable Me 4 woke?

Accepted Answer

Despicable Me 4 has a woke score of 10/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Straight-up family cartoon chaos with Gru, Lucy, the girls, and new baby Gru Jr. dodging a cockroach-obsessed villain (Will Ferrell) and his sassy girlfriend (Sofia Vergara). The story is all about dad jokes, Minion slapstick, witness-protection gags in suburbia, and family sticking together—no lectures, no identity sermons, no political jabs. Reviews and woke-check sites flat-out say zero agenda or “woke content.” It’s the same silly Illumination formula parents have trusted for years.

Question 2

Is there DEI in Despicable Me 4?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Creator track record context, Representation / casting choices. Gru and Lucy and their girls—Margo, Edith and Agnes—welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. Gru also faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina, forcing the family to go on the run.
