Zootopia

Zootopia is a utopian society in which all animals, predator and prey, are able to live in harmony with one another. Throughout the movie, the many stereotypes that exist among animals were confronted which, through the animals of this society, presented how this utopia somewhat failed as being a utopia. This society is meant to be a place where “anybody can be anything” but it is seen in the film that small animals were constantly being put down and told that they were too small to handle certain tasks. Having a lion as a mayor and small sheep as the assistant is an example of how bigger animals are stereotyped to be commanding, powerful, superior beings. Another example of Zootopia failing as a utopia is the crime and corruption that took place in the film. The scheme of turning prey against predator to bring down a whole society showed how easily a community could be manipulated and torn apart.

On the other hand, Zootopia does have a few things about it that does help it function as a utopia. The city possesses numerous habitats that resemble and function like any natural habitat for the animals that inhabit it. Having a jungle and a town made of ice and snow are examples of how each animal in this society is able to live comfortably in their natural habitats.
