Question 1

Is Leo woke?

Accepted Answer

Leo has a woke score of 20/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Standard family animation where a talking lizard helps fifth-graders with everyday kid problems like talking too much, helicopter parents, and self-esteem. The story engine is generic life advice about friendship, kindness, and personal growth. No girlboss rebellion, no identity politics, no activist sermons, no anti-colonial or systemic oppression framing. Diversity in the kid cast is background and fits a modern Florida school with zero signaling.

Question 2

Is there DEI in Leo?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Representation / casting choices, Institutional / cultural critique, Identity-driven story themes. Jaded 74-year-old lizard Leo has been stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades with his terrarium-mate turtle. When he learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside but instead gets caught up in the problems of his anxious students — including an impossibly mean substitute teacher.
