Why Do We Like Zootopia

Improved Essays
Zootopia? Sound like America Zootopia, a Disney’s computer-animated movie that was recently released. The movie was about a police bunny, Judy Hop, who teamed up with a con-artist fox, Nick Wilde to solve a mysterious case of missing animals. They put away their differences and worked together to find out who kidnapped the animals and who was responsible for turning these missing animals into savage animals. The movie took place in Zootopia, a metropolis where animals of all kinds live in harmony with one another. The animals in the movie had human-like characteristics. They speak English, walk on hind legs, wear clothes, go to school, go work and have a family just like we all do. Throughout the movie, Judy Hop kept repeating the motto “Zootopia, where anyone can be anything”, does this sound …show more content…
This motto was referring to America. America was well known for “the Land of Opportunities, where anyone can be anything”. Zootopia was nothing more than America in animal forms. Zootopia was the reflection of America. They have what we have; they have ZNN, Zoogle, Targoat, IPaw, SnarlBucks and we have CNN, Google, Target, IPad, and Starbucks. They also have social issues that America have today and in the past. Zootopia was not just about two cute little animals working together to solve a crime, it was about addressing social issues. The movie was designed to tackle social issues in society such as racism and discriminations. In this paper, we will see how Zootopia’s social issues were mirrored of America’s issues in the past and in the present. Every society has a set of rules, norms, values and expectations. The people were expected to conform to all of these. The majority of the people would conform to social norms, but there would be always some people who refused to. There would be consequences for those who challenge it. Discrimination would be one of the consequences. Judy Hop, a bunny who

    Rhetorical Analysis When one thinks of a commercial for an animal shelter, they probably picture monochromatic footage of a forlorn dog, wistfully gazing out from their metal confines onto a sea of animals equally as miserable as they are. Maybe a marginally popular vocalist makes a cameo in order to provide a few brief anecdotes about the progress that the animals have made since their days of suffering, and maybe the commercial closes with a montage of more animals as a somber ballad by the aforementioned vocalist plays over the footage. However, this commercial that you maybe have seen before is nothing like FurKids’ “Kitty Kommercial”, a low-budget advertisement that, without surprise, went viral and earned FurKids the fame of being the…

    Canadian Seal Hunt played a prominent role in exposing the cruelty involved in fashion industry production. The photo, taken in 1969 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, was a catalyst that provoked outrage and boycotts of fur products in Canada. The group joined forces with a wide spectrum of animal welfare groups in order to protest the unregulated slaughter of baby seals by Newfoundland and Labrador fishermen. The image in question depicts a seal hunter wielding a club to a baby seal while its mother observes in the background of the photo. This photo went beyond merely creating outrage; it also mobilized activists and inspired acts of political protests that shaped the animal rights movement.…

    Zoochosis In Zoo Animals

    Stepping inside a zoo is like setting foot in the wild; with the only difference that the animals are enclosed behind bars and some are within a distance for public safety. Zoo animals, who are held in captivity, are restrained from having the freedom they were evolved to take advantage from because they are preserved for public education and amusement. What may seem like a friendly establishment for wild animals is in reality a park where animals: are used for “educational” purposes, are deprived from having an adequate environment where they can act like animals, suffer from stereotypical behaviors where their behaviors alternate, and are considered to be money makers rather than animals who are being preserved. When humans enjoy visitations…
