Bechdel Test Movie List

Even the first criterium is barely met...

There wasn't a single female dog in the villain's huge pack.

Kevin (note: a female bird) "talks" to her babies... some of whom presumably might be female. WEAK.

In a film that has so few characters I think it is harsh it critize it for not having two females talking to each other. I can't see where they could have added more characters into the film without spoiling it, it stands as an excellent film as it is. Some times the Bechdel test just isn't practical.

At the end of the movie it was blatantly apparent to me that it didn't pass the test, and this bothered me. I do think the test is necessary, especially in kid's movies. At the end, the mother watches as her son gets his award and just sits in the audience while she lets a stranger act as the father figure. Why can't she? Why is she a bystander? She doesn't even speak. It's like saying that moms just cheer you on but they can't REALLY support you. Not okay in my book.

Thinking about how this fails, it amused me to think that the only female character is a bird named "Kevin". Lol!
