What Makes Zootopia SO GOOD?

[@FiveDollarFilms]

I hope you enjoyed this video! More fun stuff is in the works, so make sure you're subscribed! :D

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

Something else that should be brought up - I feel like this movie is a master of "Chekhov's gun" principle. There are is just so much setup - payoff. From the rescueing of the little rodent from the giant donut, to the weasel, to the blueberries, the carrot pen - there's just a lot of things that get early eastablishments, and then get used again for a bigger purpoce later. I love that.

[@sketchs_art_corner]

It sucks that it couldn’t have been continued onto Bellwether, she has so little setup, so we don’t feel any of the payoff. But I definitely agree with you

[@aqdrobert]

Flash: I. Left. A. Pen. On. My. Desk. It. will. be. a. major. pay. off. in. Zootopia 10...

[@Jeicemeiser]

There are super subtle setups too. When Judy first sees Nick, he almost gets run over by the sheep Woolter and Jesse on a crime run, but her prejudice only allows her (and us) to see and be suspicious of Nick

[@Creative_StudioMic]

15:48 Well... Seeing, how Nick was refused to buy ice cream just because he's a fox... I suspect that it wasn't the only bad experience he ever had.

[@marcopohl4875]

That's probably only how he *noticed* life is unfair

[@anitanotonegoro8611]

No, He was Refused the Ice Cream because of the waste it would make. Not completely because he's a fox. And I think the explanation of that in this scene is cut from the final version of the movie.

[@marcopohl4875]

@@anitanotonegoro8611 Did you pay any attention to that scene?

[@anitanotonegoro8611]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqHSpnuYpc52j6cfeature=shared. If you listen carefully, the Elephant says "he can't eat all of that". and " It's gonna drip all over the floor". And "I'll have to clean the kid's mess".

[@anitanotonegoro8611]

Yes, I think being a fox was a part of the reason why Nick was almost refused the ice cream. but The main reason here, (in this scene) was that the ice cream would make a mess.

[@DavvyKat]

I just hope Zootopia 2 will be more mind blowing than ever. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about the state of today’s Disney films. And now I’m hoping Zootopia 2 will be more awesome than ever.

[@cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese]

me too omg

Me three.

[@purevessel4506]

Considering Disney’s sequel track record I don’t have high hopes

[@dy_nto7]

They always split the iconic pairs apart :(

[@user-qb3gm4pu2m]

If they ruin Zootopia with the sequel I'm not going to react nicely

[@aseelhassan2188]

My nephew makes us watch this movie at least once a day ….at this point I know every single line …but hey I’m not complaining cause it’s actually fun

[@wafagdplqs4421]

How can't you not love this movie ! The themes it treated are really interesting, the characters so likeable, the comedy is fun and the story great ! It has its flaws as everything do but it's still such an amazing movie.

[@TheSmilerDoesThings]

I personally love the world building of Zootopia. The way the city has accommodations for all animals, the way the film makes a city full of animals work, It's really great stuff.

[@Maniac742]

What most people miss about Zootopia is that the movie does just as much to confirm bias as it does to dispel it. Judy is immediately suspicious of Nick because he's a fox... well, no, that's not actually true. She NOTICES Nick because he's a fox, but Nick's shifty behavior is why she suspects him. And, in the end she was right. Nick was, in fact, shifty. Sure, Nick had a big sob story on why he was shifty, but Nick's a grown man. He's responsible for his own behaviors now. But the movie doesn't make light of any of these details. They're all present.

[@GeneralDioxide]

Surf’s Up 2 is a masterpiece and an achievement in animation. I’m patiently waiting for your apology.

[@shamwow1893]

I really enjoy your film analysis. You do a great job of digging into the muddy depths of what's going on. Well done!

[@voriaeveningflame]

The blooper bit at the end is amazing. It's fun listening to you song this song 😆

[@chubbyanimalenthusiast70]

11:01 it’s a way of showing implicit bias instead of straight racism Her pointing out how he’s articulate implies that other foxes aren’t

[@Bearisgone]

How could anyone listen to that singing at the end and not subscribe

It sure is.

[@marcopohl4875]

On Bellweather: It is actually subtly hinted that she's the bad guy (a bellweather is the bell that some sheep are given to lead their flocks, representing her puppeting the public around like a flock of sheep, and all the reporters that question Judy are prey, suggesting that she might have paid them off, something that a predator wouldn't agree too), but I do think it's still too subtle.

[@cfruge444]

< I do think it's still too subtle. Not when she had that memo to herself in her office, it wasn't.

[@theonepup8022]

Zootopia is my all time favorite animated film that Disney ever made I personally think it’s the best one they ever made even better then their other animated films which I don’t even like or care about

[@nobodyuknow6337]

This became my favorite Disney movie. Mulan held that titled till then.

[@gurjindersingh3843]

17:06 Judy didn't become a cop to be famous or succesful, she wants to make the world a better place and with that speech she did the opposite. It is honorable to resign when you realise you are a menace to society. It shows her character. Nobody else shamed her but she had dignity and realised she didn't deserve the badge.

[@princembat]

i disagree that the boy scouts scene is trivial, i guess i dont know if youre a minority at all, but being treated horribly just on the basis of being different because of something you cant control... its not something that one easily forgets. i dont let the things that have happened to me personally stop me from embracing who i am, but i definitely will never forget them. and like someone else said, that most definitely was not his only instance of being discriminated against, but it mustve showed him in a very brutal way how the world can be, and defined how it could be to him.

[@cfruge444]

Okay. I don't expect to be taken seriously here since I'm an unapologetic Zootopia superfan with no patience/zero tolerance for critics, but as rebuttals to your points about what could've been done better: 1. Some jokes are more subtle than others. 2. The naturalist club - everyone has a vice. 3. Nick confiding in Judy provided a parallel to her own experiences. 4. The third act - being crushed by self-doubt is pretty much a trope in and of itself. *Oh, and regarding what you said about how Bellewether was revealed as the twist villain, The Devil's in the details.*

Gosh darnit I really thought it would be a whiplash video😢 loved it either way!

[@juantorres4173]

This Is Disney's Master Piece!

[@rebelcat_1261]

14:52 I've also wondered about this. I don't see a way you could reconcile him being an honest family man while also frequenting a nudist club. Maybe you aren't supposed to. I mean, he does have ties with the mob after all. 19:27 Also, I need everyone to appreciate this joke.

[@TheRealToaster2]

Most nudist places are family friendly. It isn’t weird at all. Nudity is natural and freeing, and some people prefer to live that way.

[@edicqan]

19:30 well there is i think,there is a scene where judy and nick asked her to help them with the jam cams, in the scene you can see the ram's (doug) number on her table (not really a hint, maybe forshadowing the fact that she's behind it? and the ram is helping her with the serum.)

Turning red was super relatable to me. She was trying to keep herself separate from the mom for a reason

What makes it so good? Probably the sexy dancing tigers

[@silkeythekitsune9071]

Well yeah the third arc was kinda necessary though. Your supposed to feel the boredom the sadness she’s feeling that's why u don't want it to happen

[@jeremiahnoar7504]

11:10 interestingly enough, writers give Gideon (the only fox that Judy knows) an extremely inarticulate southern drawl. So in the context of the movie, it's actually not presumptuous on Judy to comment on Nicks articulation. I can see what the writers were trying to do but it didn't really work in the context that they set up.

You should check out the avengers movies

[@stephendavis5530]

Yes.....I appreciate your review of this great movie. I just don't know why you had to go and spoil it and go off on a tangent (for reasons best known to yourself) to refer to a completely different film.....that of the excellent Turning Red - one of the best Pixar movies ever. Yes, all opinion is relative, but I feel KZbinrs just love to diss Turning Red for cool points. Half the time they haven't even seen the movie or that much of it and seem to take a perverse delight in misrepresenting the plot. In my opinion, it's just ridiculously good and one of the most beautiful animated movies I have ever seen.

[@tjsmith5276]

No, no, no, you're completely right about the audience caring about specific characters over the world as a whole. The story world is a mere extension of the characters whose journey we follow. It's what make a movie like The Avengers more than a simple "save the world because it's the right thing to do" story. Think about the character of Jane Foster. She is essentially the reason Thor becomes an Avenger. When Loki threatens Planet Earth, he threatens Jane Foster and that's what get's Thor personally invested in saving Earth. Back to Zootopia, this movie may have had a weak twist villain in Mayor Bellwether, but it had a stellar antagonist in Nick Wilde.
