Zootopia’ the newest movie by Pixar-Disney animation studios has a future of being a classic for the young and the old. ‘Zootopia’ follows the journey of Officer Judy Hopps(Goodwin), a young bunny who always had dreams of moving to Zootopia; the big city where predator and prey can live together in peace; from Bunny Burrows; small town where animals don’t step out of their comfort zone; to become the first bunny at the ZPD. Throughout her journey, Judy is always being reminded by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Hopps( Hunt and Lake) and many other characters that her diminished stature wouldn’t make for a great police officer, and that she should just stay home at work on her parents’ carrot farm. Ignoring her parents and the other characters Hopps moves to Zootopia in search for her big …show more content…
While trying to solve the case and realizing she wouldn’t be able to, she recruited the help of the low-life scamming fox Nichols “Nick” Wilde(Bateman); the animal she had been trained to be afraid of since a young age; to help her complete the case. Hopps and Wilde work together to complete the case but along the way they both realized that the stereotypes they learned about all animals in Zootopia are not true. They also learned that Zootopia really is “the place where anyone, can be anything”. ‘Zootopia’ like every other Disney- Pixar movie has a great story line for both children and their parents. This movie breaks barriers on many different social issues that are happening in the world today. For me this movie surpasses any other Disney movie solely for that reason. ‘Zootopia’ mainly speaks on bullying, having the courage to be anything you want to be
Maya Angelou said “I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.” This can't be anymore true of Judy Hopps. In the beginning of the film she was naive, ambitious, and optimistic. Although Judy Hopps is considered a dumb bunny, Judy Hopps is an hero because she stands up for what's right , she is brave, and she follows the Hero’s Journey.

There’s something magical about animated movies that can’t quite be captured with a single sentiment. Whether it’s the bright colors of the characters or the mise en scène, the punny humor with the few sly jokes just for adults, or the ability to present complex social topics to a younger audience in an accessible way, you’re suddenly transported to a world that isn’t limited by real life locations or the physical capabilities of actors. This is especially relevant for the movie Zootopia (2016), which – while falling into the category of “just another kid’s movie” – not only displays a modernized look into the animal kingdom but speaks strongly about stereotypes, racial prejudices, and power dynamics between differing social groups.
The documentary film Bully (2011) – directed by Lee Hirsh – takes the viewer into the lives of five families that live in various, predominantly remote, towns across the United States. All families presented have been affected by bullying, either because their child was at the time being bullied by peers at school or the child committed suicide due to continuous bullying. The film also profiles an assistant principle, Kim Lockwood, whose indiscreetness makes the viewer...
The brief film, For the Birds, produced by Pixar Films, represents the acts and consequences of bullying. The plot of the film gives the audience the opportunity to take away a very meaningful message from a comical kid’s film. The film presents its message in a way that is manageable to comprehend, because it was meant for adolescent onlookers. However, it does not matter whether someone is young or elderly, For the Birds sends all viewers the same message.
Through the course of it’s pages, we come to realize that the rabbit duo are not safe from anything, and that their daily lives subsist of constant alert and fleeing from terror. Seton writes, “The Cottontails had enemies on every side. Their daily life was a series of
...ues his search by going to Eccles church one morning, only to find that he loses concentration and begins a sexual daydream while the service is going on. Rabbit explains that he became dissatisfied by the sermon because he “has no taste for the dark tangled, visceral aspect of Christianity, the going through quality of it, the passage into death and suffering that redeems and inverts these things, like an umbrella blowing inside out.” Lawson explains that Rabbit lacks the will to become a truly religious person.
Bullying is a topic, which is often mentioned and discussed for example in forms of art and in debates. No one disagrees with the common opinion; that bullying is a problem, and that I should not take place in a modern society. However, when the sensitive issue is brought into focus it often tend to get a bit monotonous, because we always hear the same story from the victims point of view. Nothing is wrong with that, but a different point of view can give rise to another aspect of the well-known “bullying story”. Exactly that, is what the award-winning short film “Donkey” does. It deals with the issue, seen from the bully’s point of view, and it gives the short movie the power to show a new perspective.

From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case. Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a wily fox who makes her job even harder.
Zootopia (Byron Howard Rich Moore 2016) is an extremely successful film about a bunny named Judy. Within the film there are many direct and obvious themes, but a more implicit theme that I found while watching was, Our preconceived fears about certain groups as a society are directly reflected in Zootopia. I will be using the formal elements: camera angle, camera distance, and sound to argue my point. In the scene I will be analyzing, Judy just finished her press conference and claimed that all predators were savages. She gets off the podium and has an encounter with her friend, Nick, who is a predator. He is mad that Judy made this general statement about predators. Nick scares Judy and acts as though he has
Not only does this movie deal with the issues of society, but it points to biblical scriptures that help lead us in the right direction. The biggest lesson that this film taught me was that if I put my complete faith in God, then no matter what happens, he will provide, watch over, and take care of me. I learned that expressing belief in God is not enough. I have to live everyday believing and trusting him and I have to show my trust and faith through my actions and my words.
You may be wondering, “ Why is this GUY writing an evaluation over a children’s animated film?” Well, the answer is simple. I have a four year-old niece. But I won’t blame it all on her, I wanted to watch it myself. Un-like other animated films that I’ve seen in the past, this one kept me in my seat the entire time. Frozen is a movie filled with a variety of characters and has a good story line, along with a great soundtrack, and is one of the best-animated films yet.
