Question 1

Is The Garfield Movie woke?

Accepted Answer

The Garfield Movie has a woke score of 19/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. This 2024 animated family comedy follows Garfield on a simple outdoor heist adventure after reuniting with his long-lost street-cat dad Vic and dragging along Odie. The core story is pure father-son reconciliation and slapstick laughs with zero political lectures, activist messaging, or identity-focused arcs. Voice casting mixes big names like Chris Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson for the animal characters, but nothing in the plot or marketing pushes representation as a theme. Overall it's standard kids entertainment—no agenda, just lasagna jokes and chaos.
