    In all honesty, I feel like Zootopia was better than Frozen. You know why? There's so much more plot and background and development of not only the plot, but the characters as well. SO many movies forget to put in a lot of development nowadays. To me, this movie was really a beautiful movie depicting the truth of life in the real world, but also how we can change stereotypes that are based on ourselves.

      no one disagrees with you xD look at the amount of work they had put into this, even if it doesn't have a musical score, this movie proves to be one of the best animated movies since toy story 3... I could even par this with Inside Out and Wreck it Ralph

      I personally think Zootopia is better than Frozen in every way.
      Zootopia had more relatable character.
      Zootopia's main comic relief(Which had to be the sloths), weren't in your face annoying like most animated films comic relief are (Ex: Olaf, the minions, etc.)
      Zootopia didn't have forced ballads in the middle of their movie like Frozen did.
      Zootopia's villain wasn't just relatably evil like Frozen's. Bellweather was somewhat abused by Lionheart and you could kind of see why she would've been influenced to try to take over his power.
      Even though people complain about Gazelle being forced in the movie, I think having her as the big pop icon to speak out against what was happening to Zootopia added a sense of realism to the movie as in real life, we see celebs comment on bad situations as well.

    • @culturalhegemony4803

      To be fair this was the first of its kind for Disney. Something with an explicit political message.

    • @CharacterDesignForge
      @CharacterDesignForge 9 років тому +7

      Not really saying anything about political messages, they just don't generally pander to children the same way a lot of other studios do.

      I disagree. Disney panders to children in the same way all studios do: with simple cliche plot lines for the kids and subtly adult oriented jokes that sail over the average kids' head for the parents. Other studios simply don't have Disney's talent in animation and powerful brand ( the latter being especially important).
      That being said, zootopia offers blatantly obvious social commentary and puts everything else on the back burner. The first of its kind as I said.

      Zootopia 2 will hopefully receive praise and critical and commercial acclaim from fans and critics alike for its animation, new settings, voice acting for the characters, characters, subject matter, comedy, musical numbers and songs, plot and story and emotional depth and was deemed superior to the first movie and was regarded as one of the greatest Disney and Pixar sequels of all time and the greatest Walt Disney Animation Studios theatrical sequel of all time beating Moana 2 and superior to Frozen III and Disney Animation’s greatest non-fantasy theatrical sequel of all time and an improvement over and much better version of Ralph Breaks the Internet and one of the greatest Disney and Pixar sequels of all time. Nick and Judy might also have Disney Deaths in the movie like Robin Hood, Pinocchio and Wall-E did same for Beast/Prince Adam or a beloved character not Gazelle or Clawhauser but Chief Bogo or Flash might even be killed off to add depth to Nick and Judy’s characters.

  • @BrockAband

    I liked how they addressed real social issues of today's society but in the most kid friendly way possible. I'm talking drugs, underground drug services, government enacted terrorism, racism, sexism, so on. It was more than just a "be yourself" or "try your best" type movie.

  • @arielcordero

    Just got back from the movie theater. This is the one movie everyone should go see this year. It doesn't matter if it's an animated "kids" movie. The movie is truly a masterpiece. So relevant and mature.... and very profound. Like I said... everyone should go see it.... and pay very close attention to the central theme of the movie. And it's hilarious too. So... win win win!

    • @ZoeHewittHosting
      @ZoeHewittHosting 9 років тому +3

      +Nick Snyder I thought the whole movie, while outwardly talking about inclusion and diversity, was actually pretty racist. It would have (possibly) bothered me less if the issues had been addressed by more than the inspirational message speech at the end. (Actually discussed this in the review I did on my channel.) I know most people love this movie, but it didn't sit well with me at all.

      Nick Snyder Yes--and the comments about calling them "savages", too. Or, what about the example with Nick of how he's "bad" because of how he was treated as a child and that explains his choices in life now? Or, the "articulate fella" comment? How do kids watching the movie know that they're trying to make a point? Ugh.

    I feel like the marketing has been a major disservice to this movie. Surprises can be cool, be I had ZERO interest in seeing this movie until I saw Jeremy and Chris's reviews. When the first trailer dropped, I thought it was literally the most generic looking uninspired kids movie ever made. The only thing that first trailer sold was "hey, we've got anthropomorphic animals, GENIUS!" Now I'm genuinely excited to see the film, but my excitement comes from reviews and not the marketing itself, that's not a good thing.

    You could've replaced all the characters in this film with human beings, give it a live action / more serious tone, and it would've been a great neo-noir crime thriller with an honest and deep message about racism and government corruption.
    The people saying that the film *is* racist are completely missing the point. All of the characters struggle with prejudices and stereotypes, which is just honest. They're flawed characters, which is what makes it a great film. The film even goes so deep as to explain that, even when a person fulfills some stereotype, it's largely because of the social pressure, oppression, and marginalization they face. Judy felt bad for assuming Nick was "shifty" when she first encountered him, but it turned out he actually was shifty, right? Does that mean Judy was right to make that assumption? Well, later on, we realize he had no choice but to fulfill the role the rest of society forced upon him because of their prejudices. Kids will catch that, because it's made very clear. If you didn't catch that, then maybe you're the one struggling with some deep-seeded racism, because, maybe you're living in some fantasy world where all stereotypes are simply flat out untrue, but by believing that, you're completely glossing over what the real problem is with racism and stereotyping. You're advocating a "colorblind" ethos that is, in fact, a very white-bread concept. If you believe we should all be colorblind, you won't recognize the real injustices that marginalized groups face.
    Let me give you an example. Is it racist for me to say "black people are poor"? It's a generalization, right? It's a stereotype, right? Yeah, not all black people are poor. But the fact that the African American community struggles with poverty is something that ought to be highlighted, and it's important to be honest about that fact. They struggle with poverty because they're made to feel like they're simply supposed to be impoverished, just like Nick is "supposed" to be shifty. But if I go out with a POC friend and insist on buying dinner for him because I'm assuming he's poor for no reason, that's a different thing from highlighting the struggles that POC face with respect to poverty. When we make assumptions and treat people badly based on those stereotypes, the stereotypes end up fulfilling their own prophecy. This film is actually very nuanced, honest, and real about what a stereotype is, and the problem with them isn't that they simply hurt individual people, but they hurt entire communities of people. That's the important home-run message of the film that you're missing. "Colorblindness" is not a solution to racism; it fuels it. That's clearly very uncomfortable for a lot of white people who falsely believe that they're sincerely colorblind and that if everyone would just be colorblind like they are, there'd be no racism, when nothing could be further from the truth.
    Now, if you wanted to make the argument that these themes would completely fly over the heads of anyone who's already racist, and possibly even use the film to confirm their own biases, I can see why you'd make that argument, but to say the film itself is racist just means you weren't paying attention to what was going on.
    The message wasn't "clear"? How? I just don't understand that. It's made clear repeatedly throughout the film, and every character struggles with racial prejudices, which is so true to life, it hurts. Every community in the film faces some sort of hurtful stereotype which segregates them in some way. The film isn't a direct metaphor (it's not prey=white, and predator=black); this is a wholly different universe, and the metaphors lie within the characters and their actions, not with the structure of their society. That is to say, there are no black or white characters, there are bunnies, foxes, giraffes, lions, etc, and by giving us a new lens through which to see stereotyping, we can understand it from an outside, more objective point of view. That's what's great about this film.

      +::: STICKY DROSERA I thought your comment was quite accurate except for this point:
      "But the fact that the African American community struggles with poverty is something that ought to be highlighted, and it's important to be honest about that fact. They struggle with poverty because they're made to feel like they're simply supposed to be impoverished, just like Nick is "supposed" to be shifty."
      I don't think any black person becomes impoverished because society has made them think they should be impoverished--that's just silly. Nick does become shifty because that's how society believes he should be BUT ALSO because shiftiness was a positive necessity to improve his own life. If he wasn't shifty, he probably wouldn't have been able to make a living. There's not really any benefit to becoming impoverished, so even while a black person may be aware of the generalization that black people are usually poor, no black person willing becomes impoverished as a way to improve their lives. That wouldn't make any sense. That being said, there definitely are some self-fulfilling prophecies for many races and ethnicities. Going back to the African American example, many inner-city blacks definitely do feel pressure from those of their own race to become tough, gun-wielding thugs who should be adept at fighting and have sex with as many women as possible. That might be a stereotype, but it's undeniably a real one. I sympathize with the black child who grows up in tough cities like Detroit or southern Chicago and instead of pursuing a strong education and trustworthy friends they go down the path of gangs and guns and drugs and sex and violence because that is what many of the other African Americans of the community tell them they should be and pressure them to become. It becomes the "right" or "cool" thing to do to become a gang member, when anyone outside of this community could tell you that that is not the correct course for success.

    I loved this movie so much, because it didn't show the simple bland "You can be whatever you want" while showing the sloths to be really slow and Nick mocking Judy's little speech, and Finnick dreaming of being an elephant, which is physically impossible, it shows that everybody has their limits, but we are also all very different and have different advantages, it shows variety and the message is yeah, we all have limits, but we also have unique strenghts, it also touches on racial stereotypes, but not the bland "Oh you are racist and I'm not" no, even Nick who suffered from discrimination, at one point calls all wolfs empty headed and stupid, that is, yeah, discrimination, in fact, I think everyone at this movie does discriminate from time to time, even when Judy brings the fox pepper spray, because her parents got some crazy ideas into her head, and I loved the part of the movie where she sees Nick, thinks he is suspicious, and then feels guilty about feeling suspicious of a fox, when in fact, HE WAS GUILTY! So it touches on racism in many more ways than just one, that is, it represents something I have felt, and most of us have, we feel one person is sketchy and then we feel guilty because we feel we might be being racist. This was an awesome movie, Nick and Judy are also very likeable and 3 dimensional.

  • @clairekim2525

    What I'm getting from the negative comments is that people think children are moronic and can't possibly grasp that a main character has flaws. Of course an eight year old can understand the message of the film. All of y'all who are afraid that children will miss the point and think it's okay to be prejudiced are seriously underestimating kids' ability to digest basic themes. I mean, it's not like the movie was super subtle in saying "hey, racism is bad and the bunny was wrong for judging the fox." That's basically the entire point of the movie.

      And its great because as a fun movie maybe in 5 or 10 years time the kids who watch it now will think "Hey I really enjoyed that!" and whether they picked up on the messages or not then they will now. So its a movie that can have added meaning over time, from both a moral and emotional level with nick and judy.

      ThoughtsOfALeo​​​ It's a spoiler, so read at your own discretion...
      *SPOILER ALERT*
      The big mystery surrounding the bad guy is kind of obvious (that poor sheep was getting mistreated the entire film), and the solution they came up with concerning the berries wraps everything up in a nice little bow, and I feel like there could have been a more fluid solution to the problem. This is the part Chris was talking about, where the movie kind of drags (it picks up again when they discover the cure). And the "final battle", when the fox fakes his rage mode was kind of anti-climatic. Just everything about the "cure" kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. And there were a few other things I thought about, like what do mammals eat if they're at peace with their prey? Where are the birds and fish in this world? Etc.
      But regardless of these things, the movie deserves all the praise it's going to get, and I can't wait to see the fully completed version in theaters this weekend (When I saw it, some of the animations where incomplete).

      +Andrew “Boneclinks” Steel While I agree that Zootopia really isn't 99% RT quality, keep in mind that it is a Disney movie that is well written and fleshed out as it is articulate. Critics tend to love Disney movies - and it's a well written one, at that. Naturally, it's going to get a high score.
      That being said, it really annoys me when people blame under-handed methods to a movie's critical success - especially when it's simply because they dislike something. Where was the bribery for The Good Dinosaur, or Cars 2, or Monster's University? If there's that much bribery going on, why is there any score difference at all between this and Frozen?

    You should consider watching and reviewing Song of the Sea, it's a really beautifully animated Irish film that many people believe should have one best animated feature in 2014.

    I had high expectations for this movie ever since I heard about it back in early 2015. I'm not necessarily a furry but the kind of art I draw is anthropomorphic animals, so naturally I'd be excited for a movie like this. When I saw it, I was BEYOND impressed. The animation was fantastic, the jokes were hilarious, the main characters were lovable (especially Nick Wilde), the action was very entertaining, and the message was beautiful. Growing up as an Indian girl in America is pretty hard, not only am I a woman, but also a minority. This movie was very relatable, heartfelt, and touching. I usually don't buy movies, but I will DEFINITELY be buying Zootopia on DVD. 10/10 great movie 👍

    Despite the fact that Disney's last three animated features were good,I went into this with a certain amount of apprehension,fearful that I was going to be subjected to another "Chicken Little" (Disney's first non-Pixar CGI feature,also set in a world of anthropomorphic animals)...which was horrible.
    I'm happy to report that wasn't the case.

      I was somewhat judgemental of the fandom until I realised how much zoophilia is looked down upon. That really is about the only think that you are actually judge for sharing.

    Very glad to hear you enjoyed it. I love Disney and can't wait to watch it! The face you made on your icon when I clicked the video made me think you hated it but it was just the face you made for Superman 64!

    I didn't know what to expect wtih this film and was pleasantly surprised about the message of racism. Very smart and very under the skin. And also the first since Robin Hood to do an anthropomorphic animal cast!
