Zootopia

I was thinking about writing an analysis about Zootopia being a movie that shows that you can do anything you put your mind to. How there can be one place for everyone. But it’s not true and Zootopia shows just that. Every species of animal needs a different need met. A polar bear cannot live in the desert, on the opposite end a camel can’t live in the artic. When the main character Judy jumps into Little Rodenta it shows the absurdity behind “a place for everyone”.  Zootopia shows one great place where every animal can be together but there are still restrictions between each animal. I do understand that the movie is making huge cultural references and showing the hypocrisy and ultimately stupid things that are happening in the U.S. Very blatantly the movie shows the issues with race that the nation is facing. The fox Nick is stereotyped as a convict by Judy before she ever got to meet him because of past experiences she had. Although Nick turns out to be deceitful it is later shown that others expect him to be that way so he just goes into his role set by society. There is a simultaneously two lessons taught at the same time between too opposite characters. Perseverance is shown by Judy with her expectations of being a cop and then being pushed aside because she is a rabbit. Most people would have given up but she believed in herself even when the peoples closest to her didn’t. If my sister didn’t push me to do better or even, try harder I wouldn’t have made it to college but that just because I didn’t have the perseverance to push myself. The movie makes me want to not only be a better person but try something new. But out of all the life lesson the movie teaches I still think it shows not everyone is going to be completely equal and at the same time not everyone is going to like everyone. In the end we all have to live on one planet and tolerate each other.
