I've never thought of any of those four as woke. Just because a movie has a female or minority main character doesn't make it woke. It just has to make sense.

That’s what I was getting at. You can have any theme you want and if it’s well told it will do well. That’s done well for them historically. Parents REALLY want entertainment options for kids.

When you start shoehorning in DEI for no reason other than a quota and your storytelling takes a backseat, you get what you’ve seen lately.

I do think the sexual identity bridge is too far for a lot of parents out there still though. I’d be willing to bet if polled they don’t want anything more than a little prince/princess flirting in the movies their little kids are consuming.
