Question 1

Is The Croods: A New Age woke?

Accepted Answer

The Croods: A New Age has a woke score of 49/100, which means it is mixed, with noticeable woke elements. The movie keeps pushing girl power the whole way through via the Thunder Sisters sequence where Gran, Eep, Ugga, Hope, and Dawn form an all-female warrior squad, ride wolf spiders, sing a power anthem, and rescue the kidnapped men. It repeatedly hammers embracing differences and family unity through the class clash between the primitive Croods and the smug, "better" Bettermans. Mild environmental jabs hit the Bettermans' farming for causing the monkey threat. The identity and gender elements sit right in the story engine and are impossible to miss.

Question 2

Is there DEI in The Croods: A New Age?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Identity-driven story themes, Representation / casting choices, Anti-woke backlash / 'too woke' complaints. Searching for a safer habitat, the prehistoric Crood family discovers an idyllic, walled-in paradise that meets all of its needs. Unfortunately, they must also learn to live with the Bettermans -- a family that's a couple of steps above the Croods on the evolutionary ladder. As tensions between the new neighbors start to rise, a new threat soon propels both clans on an epic adventure that forces them to embrace their differences, draw strength from one another, and survive together.
