Kids movie

Doesn't push woke narratives. Good movie for kids, not that interesting for adults

Deep down this is monstrously woke

The film was pretty decent on the whole, but it hid a subtle, manipulative message below the surface.

The two main (white) monster hunters were portrayed as the foolish upholders of a kind of white supremacy—an English, (white) king and queen, who created a false history about the monsters that helped them control their subjects. Three of these four white characters became the story’s main villains.

The other main white character was somewhat heroic but also slightly stupid/clumsy and misguided. He was befriended by the wisest character in the film—a young black girl who was the first to become “woke” to systemic injustice. Her first task on becoming woke was to bring her foolish white friend round to her way of thinking.

There's a scene at the end where the girl gives a big speech to the townsfolk about how they've been fed lies about their history. This triggers a revolution. We see a statue outside the royal palace.

A (black) captain refuses to carry out the king's orders to attack, and the king and queen flee as buildings collapse. We see the statute again, in pieces on the floor. Clearly a nod towards tearing down statues of old white men.

So yes, the film is woke.
