Hey A.J.! earns a 7/10 woke score by deliberately prioritizing diverse casting in children's media as its core creative goal. Skip this series if you want straightforward preschool stories without the messaging.
The core premise of Hey A.J.! centers on a 7-year-old girl's imaginative play turning mundane tasks like cleaning or grocery shopping into superhero adventures with her stuffed bunny Theo, family, and friend Jessie.
This follows traditional preschool storytelling of creativity and fun, with the Black family (voiced by Amari McCoy as A.J., Martellus Bennett as father Marty, and Jhené Aiko as mother Siggi) presented as semi-autobiographical from creator Bennett's books inspired by his daughter. Casting reflects the creator's intent to feature more characters of color in children's media without altering pre-existing properties.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
