Question 1

Is Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile woke?

Accepted Answer

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile has a woke score of 20/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. This 2022 family musical has zero political dialogue and no activist messaging. The story sticks to a kid overcoming anxiety with help from a singing crocodile, plus basic found-family bonding against a grumpy neighbor. Casting shows light diversity with Constance Wu as the Asian stepmom in a blended family, but it fits the modern NYC premise without mismatches or preaching. No identity politics, no institutional lectures, no queer elements, and no reframing of the original books into current social-justice themes.
