Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
The movie keeps pushing the message that different animal species must overcome prejudice, xenophobia, and initial distrust to team up and survive. Gracie's wolf pack and paranoid Gramma Abigail stress sticking only to their own kind while viewing outsiders like the mountain lion as dangerous. The survivors repeatedly learn to embrace species differences and work together against the zombie outbreak. No political dialogue, no institutional critiques, and no LGBTQ elements appear.
