Disney-pixar films have always toe-dipped into serious topics just barely enough for critics to screech: "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THIS IN A KID'S MOVIE! SO BOLD! 10/10 PIXAR KNOCKS IT OUTTA THE PARK AGAIN!" The bar has been set so low for this studio for years.

AGREGEOUS FAILURE??? EXCUSE ME??? good video.

Honestly I think the parent trope in frozen 2 allowed Anna and Elsa to develop realistically as characters. Like by the end of the 1st movie, the characters had reconciled and Elsa had learned to rely on Anna rather than just herself like she’d always done. However the 2nd movie picks up with Elsa struggling with her past tendencies, and even at one point she gave into them when she decided to leave Anna behind to follow her mothers voice to Ahtohallan. And Idk i think that’s a very realistic thing; struggling with the past even if you’re past it.

Only gripe I have is that they made goldies hair different from the graphic novels. I really don't like when they do this to characters. LET HIM HAVE LONG HAIR!

loved this movie as a kid, it really stuck to me. We watched it so many times. Your grandpa reminds me of my own, but he was an electrician. He's still alive, but I really love him. I've only gotten to know him for the last few years since they used to live far away, but it's been good. Also I'm so happy you have these lovely memories.

The original idea for Zootopia is better off fitting for Zootopia 2 because of The Night Howlers Incident because while it was stopped by Nick and Judy and Bellwether was arrested I have a bad feeling something like that isn't going to just go away overnight and something bad will happen like someone in Zootopia unfairly makes a new Shock Collar law because of this incident and Nick and Judy find out about it and they're not happy with it because this new law they're doing in Zootopia isn't fair.

I Do actually like this movie but I find it super overrated

Judyhoppslover69 is gonna hate this

It literally was made just to pander to furries

I think we have yet to see a good allegory for racism and other societal issues in animated movies. Zootopia missed and Elemental missed even harder. But if they make another film with an allegory that actually works, I hope it'll be realistic and nuanced and that it shows the complex background of racism (which goes in all directions), different kinds of discrimination, and both sides of the extremes too; from the allegories of the white Americans who think that the Indigenous and African peoples need to make peace with the fact that they got conquered to the black Americans who firmly believe in a one-sided version of human history where white peoples (in general sense, so ALL white peoples of today and of the past) were historically the most violent, the most bloodthirsty, the least intelligent, et cetera because of x or y reasons. Show us the complex machinations of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural societies, show us the foul sides of each of those groups, not just the privileged. Human history and modern human civilisations are VERY complex- too complex to just put "the oppressed" and "the privileged/ oppressor" in a movie, have them be biased against each other and pretend that it's a good allegory for (racial) discrimination.

Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how well does Anne Rice get New Orleans as a city and a culture in her “Vampire Chronicles” books?

I think in the end, if you wanted a more complex and heavy allegory of racism, you shouldn't expect it from Disney. Disney films have to have a broad family appeal, and something like that would just not appeal to any of their target demographic. If on the other hand, you want a more complex and heavy exploration of a anthropomorphic animal predator/prey society, you can go watch Beastars.

Well, guess you can't please everyone.

It doesn't suck most people like Zootopia its a good movie. You just didn't get like it because oh you got too deep into it. I personally hate those who dislike movies either most people like or don't like movies I like.

Honestly, I feel kind of offended at your review, I don't know how else to say it. I feel like you miss every point of everything you criticized about my favorite movie. The racism allegory never needed to be in-your-face obvious, but it never was presented as "shallow" either! I think the allegory works perfectly well with the way it was presented, even if it didn't make life altering decisions in people to stop racism. Honestly I hate it when people criticize my favorite movies so negatively, I'm really irritated right now 😡 I know people might comment negatively on my comment but I really don't care

I like your medal. And thanks for the review. This movie is fun and inspiring. Cheers!

I adore this movie. it's one of my fave movies next to OG lion king and Ratatouille, but I fully respect your opoion about it, you made valid points and it's not just "I hate it just to hate" like others people do. so respect for at least giving reasons.

Just put the fries in the bag

I just hate furries

Your descriptor of Lilith is so painfully relatable... from a literal cult survivor. Also, yay! Buffy and Owl House. I love it.

Only thing that ever bothered me about the film was the Mayor being villainised for hiding the truth from the public when honesty he was 100 percent right to do so he predicted exactly what would happen due to past experience and was swiftly proven right after Judy's press conference.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who freaking hates this gay furry bait disaster! Literally, this is the worst of the modern Disney movies, even as bad as Wish was. I like more of the modern ones than the old ones (like I don't like movies like Little Mermaid and Snow white) but I REALLY hate Zootopia. I don't like how they brought up the police brutality thing when it was happening irl and I also don't like how they only showed one side of the racism and not Judy's side. Beastars and Ernest & Celestine both did a better job of giving that anit-racism message using animals than Disney! Heck, even Sheep & Wolves did a better job!

I never watched this movie before, but with how Hollywood is nowadays, I doubt I'll ever watch any of the 2010's movie. Enough said.

Oh man. This is one of my favorite Disney movies. I'm actually someone who didn't think Moana was that good... It definitely has its moments but yes zootopia is really good 😅 but I accept your opinion

If you can’t see that the allegory of this movie is based on bigotry and bias as a whole, and not specifically about being Black in America, then you’ve completely missed the point. The predators evolving out of their carnivore nature does NOT ruin the message. It makes perfect sense for an animal society to go through that, and it doesn’t make the prey’s fears automatically right. All of the points the story makes about overcoming one’s own judgement still make sense. For the love of god, please take this horrible video down. All you’re doing is spreading misinformation and bullshit. Stop attacking harmless media and LET PEOPLE ENJOY WHAT THEY WANT.

I wouldn't mind watching the first Frozen, Moana or even Tangled again but I might watch Frozen 2 if I'm feeling it.

This video is so idiotic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with heroic cops in fiction (especially when you consider the fact most police in real life aren’t raging bigots). If you have that such a deep seated problem with law enforcement, then stop complaining about harmless films like Zootopia and go watch something else. Let others have their fun without you making videos like these to shame others for their interests.

This movie did alot for me but it isn’t my fav novie ever, but i love everything else than the story

I'm not the most ardent fan of this movie, it's just quite good, but this video is a narrow-minded bias. To be so outraged that a children's cartoon about STEREOTYPES In GENERAL does not revolve only around racism and reveals this topic in full depth without small jokes and small curious details of the world? Damn. This is a simple, understandable lesson for children that the stereotypes "all blondes / pumped-up guys are stupid", "all guys are dangerous and don't cry / all girls are fragile and defenseless", "all Russians don't smile / all Asians are smart in mathematics" and other similar things are not true and they are very harmful to everyone in society. NOT EVERYTHING REVOLVES ONLY AROUND WHITES AND BLACKS! There are not always only complete victims and complete villains, all people can be destructive to each other and that's what the cartoon is about. I understand that this is your personal opinion, but still. I think it is fundamentally wrong because of the wrong perspective from which you look at the cartoon and the demands of the film to be what it should not be. If Zootopia was only about racism, I wouldn't feel the familiar sexism in it, that resonates with my female experience, and I think other people feel the same way in the context of THEIR personal experience of being the object of certain stereotypes. The film does not delve into one particular topic too seriously and deeply so as not to become a bitter reminder of the harsh reality only for a certain social group. His language is more versatile and softer. And no matter how much you want it, it can't only be gray when it's created to be multicolored.

I like the movie but you did have some valid points like with Gideon Grey. 15:47 also I feel the same only with Godzilla: Minus One, the fact that it won an academy award disgusts me too.

In one video you used Inside Job AND Castle! You're a hero to me ❤

I wish it had one more season to end it properly.

Zootopia isn't about racism, it's about stereotypes. Lions are accepted as the mayor, but foxes are discriminated against, while both are predators. The ox guy is accepted as the head of the police, and the rabbit is discriminated against, while both are prey. It's not about "all predators are evil" and "all prey are helpless." It's about how certain species of each are stereotyped. They don't say "all prey animals can't be cops," they say "all rabbits are dumb and only good for farming and having kids." They didn't say "all predators are feared and dangerous," they said "all foxes are cunning shysters that you can't trust." Real life examples would be saying "all white girls are stupid" (racist), vs "all blond girls are ditzy" (stereotyped).

3:58 nah, she will always be in the trans umbrella for me (not projecting)

I just wanted to know whether others knew this show existed. I did not expect this. Amazing and tragic.

2:57 wait something i just thought about is what about Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds? Are they not included in this? As far as i know they are never shown in the movie but it wouldn’t make sense for them to just not exist (plus the song that they play over and over mentions birds)

The all mammal predator and prey thing was not a good example about racism. It would of been easier to explain racism by having a different class of animal, reptiles would of been better for the example. People think reptiles are disgusting and mammals cute. Reptiles could've been the ones segregated, and mammals have privilege, they could of shown flashbacks of past segregations like voting, separate watering holes, no reptiles or mammals only signs. Scaly could of been a Slur.

Honestly when we see the original version of Zootopia with the taming gadgets when Nick was the main character and the Taming Party scène who are honestly one of the best and most sad scene i ever see made by Disney Animation Studio who are unfortunately deleted YEAH that honestly that made the feeling that the final version of Zootopia was suck even more strongger

Can you please talk about the problems of tangled the series. I hate that show too.

If there is one thing I came to realize about this review, it’s that I wasted too much of my time singling out Dawn Bellwether as the primary source over why I despise Zootopia so much, when in reality she should have been the least of my issues with this unworthy film to begin with.

Thank you. As a black person i always thought this movie was a terrible explanation of racism. And also ...just not a great movie. Im not into the whole 'Black People Are Automatically Opressed' thing but this was still a very messy movie. Not good.

My wife and I still reference Tad Cooper. And "Don't screw this up and maybe you won't die alone" is my favorite song

I'm from Europe and dont remember racism ever being brought up in the context of this movie. How are different animal species that biologically depend on each other in the food chain and varying human races comparable?

This is why I prefer the original idea, even if it needed work, I still think it had a more interesting take.

I feel like a better simple racism allegory would be to make them all prey, with animals of similar but different species. Much like Fox and the Hound. They're both canines, with the dog being a domestic version of the relative to the fox. Both canines, both predator. Fox hounds are bred to hunt foxes, but it isn't instinctual like hunting prey, it's a general attitude towards hunting small animals. Both torn apart by societies expectations of them.

1:15 not to mention the only fat character is obsessed with food.

personal opinion here, I completely disagree. I feel like a lot of your points are taking context of it that was meant one way and exaggerating it to another. Like in the example Judy being bothered by being called cute, I took that more like how people calling Asian people cute, which can be very weird and uncomfortable but in some cases from close people a compliment. I don't think it was a "slur" exactly. I also feel like saying this was about actual racism and not the concept is farfetched, in the example of the fox repellent it's a play on the fact that foxes are one of the main predators of rabbits, like wolfs to deer and I think a closer thing you can example them to is the way women have things to protect themselves against men, Hidden knifes, tasers, pepper spray, ect. And in real life protection like that can be needed and I personally feel like should be carried by men too, not all men can defend themselves like how not all women can, while some men can and some women can too. Your point later being about how cannibalism and things and how it plays into stereotypes, and it does, then proves them wrong. It points out prey can do it too and that the stereotypes we're false and actually we're all a plot to drive predators out and they got caught. (Small thing on the jumbo pop thing, he could be getting them from other districts and had gotten kicked out of past ones, whether or not their ran by the same company could be debated but point is he could have, plus I don't think there would only be one store that sells cold treats to elephants and taller mammals. also on the topic on the nudity, I think that your idea is that this is based on human races when it's only based on the idea of racism is why your questions go so unanswered. DMV: It's a kids movie, it was a lot of people's favorite moment. If you want to think too far into it, it could be a job that seems to hire more sloths to take longer maybe for business purposes, or you know. Maybe it's mocking that fact being at the DMV takes forever. Fur rug: fur rugs I don't think are legal, or it could be something like human hair wigs considering fur is fur not their skin. Zootopia+: It was a thing to give background characters liveliness and also let people see a bit more into the world and also it's a spin off. Don't judge it when it was probably made for kids and also to keep the franchise alive since part 2 is still in the works.) The racism: It was shown yes, but not encouraged. They actual proved the stereotypes wrong and proved the whole thing was set up, proving that in the future there will be less repellents and less fear towards carnivores, it also proves that foxes (stereotyped as cunning) was also proven to be false considering he became a cop. I feel like it did it's purpose proving the stereotypes not only to be wrong, but also show how it hurt people. Like nick being bothered by her fox repellent. Additionally Nick becoming a cop "proves/proved" that anyone can be anything, no matter the stereotypes people put on you and their doubt you can still do what you dream of, plus people like Gideon gray also prove that the stereotypes were false and he believed them and let them get under his skin, once he realized it all wasn't true and he was making those stereotypes true by just following them he corrected his ways and went to do what he wanted. The example you gave of the line of her saying "Hero cop killed by savage fox" was proving that clearly carnivores are the villains and are savage and it also being ironic she was a bunny and he was a fox, playing into the stereotype of foxes killing rabbits, but then... Proving it wrong. Showing that guess what, the stereotype is wrong. Try and not look so narrowly at this, I feel like your opinions completely filed into the stereotypes and not the way they we're proven wrong. (Also, If you disagree debate in the comments, just be respectful.)

white privilege IS NOT REAL. and the very notion that because I am white I am automatically privileged and not fit to speak on issues like racism is some of the most racist dog shit I have ever heard in my life and note I am not defending disney I actually despise disney and hope that the compony rots from the inside and collapses in on itself.

Once you blamed yourself for being white and privileged, I had to stop watching. It's just sad how people still believe that lie and bs. 😅

3:04 I’ve heard questions like this before and I think it stems from a flawed attitude toward films like this. Zootopia should not be expected to be a one-to-one allegory for racism in America, or in any real-life society. Zootopia is not the same as America, the mammals are not the same as humans, the prey are not the same as white people, etc. A world of talking animals would obviously have their own set of natural divisions and biases that would be different from what humans have. Zootopia is not a commentary on American racial tensions; it’s a story about bigotry in general. Every prejudice and stereotype we see in Zootopia makes sense in-universe. Trying to compare every detail to real-life social issues is missing the point. It doesn’t need to perfectly parallel our world for us to learn from it. But from another angle, do you think that only certain races experience prejudice in real life? EVERYONE IN THE WORLD gets stereotyped by someone, no matter how privileged their position may seem to be. The fact that Clawhauser can be discriminated against because he’s seen as threatening, while Judy can also be discriminated against because she’s seen as weak is not in any way contradictory to real life. Would you not be surprised to see a small, white woman acting as a security guard? And maybe I’m just forgetting something here, but when was it established that predators are historically marginalized? Nick was mistreated because he’s a fox, not because he’s a predator. I don’t recall seeing any anti-predator sentiment until after the villains made everyone think they could go savage any minute. Are we just making assumptions because their treatment in the film makes us think of black Americans?
