Review of Zootopia (2016) by Sharon L — 22 Dec 2016
This movie is chalked full of messages about racism, discrimination, and prejudice. Totally not what I expected in a movie about anthropomorphic animals. Really glad it wasn't a copy of Madagascar. haha (Even though I do remember liking that movie.).
But... honestly, if I think too deep into it, it gets confusing. The prey is in the majority, but the predators are in charge of (most of) the police and government. Both the prey and predators suffer from prejudice of different types, and then it gets more complicated when you break the prey and predator groups into types of animals and the stereotypes about them. So I don't know if the analogy crosses over into the human world perfectly. However, overall I think the message is good. Don't let stereotypes define you, and don't judge people based on them.
BUUUT about the movie itself. I *love* that this movie was very unpredictable. The characters had a lot of dimension. The jokes were awesome, and overall it was really fun.
