Woke Score Breakdown
🎭 Race-swapped character
1The characters are blue animated gnomes and do not have human races; they maintain their traditional visual appearance from the original comics and cartoons. The diverse voice cast (such as Rihanna voicing Smurfette) does not represent a race swap of the characters themselves.
🔃 Gender-swapped character
1Established characters like Brainy Smurf and Vanity Smurf remain male. New female characters, such as Moxie Smurf, are introduced rather than gender-swapping established male characters (though Vanity Smurf is voiced by a woman, Maya Erskine, the character is still male).
👥 Diverse casting
1Because the characters are entirely animated, blue-skinned gnomes, there is no onscreen visual representation of diverse human races. The diversity of the celebrity voice cast (which includes Rihanna, Sandra Oh, and Xolo Maridueña) does not impact the visual setting or character designs.
✊ Racial messaging
1The film is a lighthearted children's fantasy and does not address systemic racism, white culpability, or racial grievance.
🛂 Immigrant themes
1The portal travel to the real world is used as a standard quest-adventure plot mechanic, without any allegories or messages regarding immigration or borders.
🪶 Indigenous peoples
1No themes regarding colonization, indigenous dispossession, or native-versus-settler dynamics are present.
🏳️🌈 LGBT characters
1There are no explicitly LGBT characters, relationships, or themes depicted in the film. Any flamboyant character coding is purely comedic and incidental.
♀️ Feminist themes
1Although Smurfette leads the mission to rescue Papa Smurf, this functions as a standard hero's journey and a family-focused quest rather than a feminist critique of traditional gender roles or masculinity. The patriarchal structure of Smurf Village and Papa Smurf's role as a beloved father figure remain respected and un-critiqued.
🏢 Anti-capitalist themes
1The villains are magical, power-hungry wizards, and there is no messaging criticizing corporations, commercialism, or the profit motive.
🌱 Environmental issues
1The natural setting of Smurf Village is standard for the franchise, and the film does not feature any messages or arguments concerning environmental preservation or climate change.
Content Rating Breakdown
💋 Sex & Nudity
MildDuring a comedic flashback sequence, Ken punches Razamel so hard that his clothes fly off, briefly showing his bare rear end in a non-graphic, cartoonish manner. There is also a scene where other Smurfs make kissing sounds to tease Ken and Mama Poot about their past relationship.
🩸 Violence & Gore
MildThe film features bloodless, slapstick cartoon violence. Characters fight by punching and biting, a character gets his hand comically squished under a weight, and there are magical spell zaps. There is also a machine designed to smash Smurfs, a kidnapping sequence, and a moment where a character is temporarily presumed dead.
🤬 Profanity
MildDialogue relies heavily on the word 'Smurf' as a comedic stand-in for real-world expletives (such as 'I Smurfed my pants' and 'let's go Smurf that wizard up'). In addition, a character named 'Kick-Ass Smurf' has their name bleeped out, a turtle says 'What the shell?', and No Name has a garbled line of dialogue bleeped for comedic effect.
🍺 Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
MildA sequence takes place inside a real-world dance club with a bar displaying colorful alcoholic drinks. The Smurfs visit a hidden lounge within the club's disco ball, and Joel is seen pouring Clamato into a martini glass.
👻 Frightening & Intense Scenes
MildSeveral scenes feature mild fantasy peril and suspense, including Papa Smurf being abducted by the evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel, a chaotic chase through multiverse portals, and a brief sequence where a main character is thought to have died before being revealed to be safe.
