Zootopia is the 55th feature animation produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. People tend to think of Disney animated films as a happy ending story of a family story, but this animation deals with racial diversity as well as many socially sensitive topics that talk about prejudice. The main story of Zootopia is an animated story in which predator and herbivorous animals coexist in the land of Zootopia, and the story is based on prejudice and prejudice. A little rabbit with an ambition to make the world a better place judy hopes wants to be a police officer in Zootopia, but disappointed in the fact that life in a police station full of big, strong animals is not as wonderful and happy as he thinks, I feel great frustration after I feel that …show more content…

For example, first, rabbits are small and weak, so they can not do the hard work like a police officer. And foxes are cunning animals, so they will betray the people around them. In fact, even before seeing this movie, everyone would have such prejudices, so we would have believed it even more, even if they were exceptions. In the film, Judy Hobbs leaves an intense dialogue in the early part of Zootopia that anyone can be anything. I think it is an ambassador, and it is an ambassador that properly expresses two hours of Zootopia movies in one sentence. This is because it allows us to discard all prejudices and …show more content…

Since I was a child, I tended to avoid hard work or hard work. My father thought it was my biggest disadvantage to have preconceptions while seeing him, and from that time my father tried to persuade me over a long period of time why it is bad to have prejudice and prejudice. The reason your father said that there are clearly difficult things in the world. But at least now what you are facing is not impossible. He said that you can do well enough. I watched the movie and thought that the shape of the weak rabbit was similar to me. But she did not have any preconceived notions about unfamiliar things and constantly worked hard for her and Zootopia. Eventually she could become a true cop she wanted and fulfilled her dream. When I was watching the movie, it was time to reflect on me, who had preconceived ideas beforehand, that I would have been able to get better results than give up if I kept challenging things that I gave up when I was

  • March of the Penguins and Monty Python, Money and Ridiculousness

    1317 Words  | 3 Pages

    Now, back to Monty Python, in this sketch the scientists are highly flawed research, and produce ridicules amounts of errors yet the result is the takeover of the penguins. In the animal film industry films are produced to make money, these films rely on enticing the most people. To do that they create their own themes, forms, and images to do this, these have at this time become so engrained in the way that people perceive film which does not have these elements would seem wrong. At the end of the day the primary motive of filmmakers are to make money, yet through their themes they reinforce and recreate the values of society, to me it seems as flawed and ridiculous a system to show society's values as much as the science that lead to penguin domination was highly flawed.

  • Analysis Of Judith Halberstam's Animating Revolt And Revolting Animation

    880 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is within those years that they discover the different ways that imagination and humanity can alter the way you think. Halberstam brings up this point within a lengthy analysis of the movie March of the Penguins. At first view this film is simply documentary of a group of penguins as the mothers leave to find food and the fathers stayed to protect the eggs. At first glance, this is true. But Halberstam presents a second interpretation. She states that “Most often we project human worlds onto the supposedly blank slate of animality, and then we create the animals we need in order to locate our own human behaviors in ‘nature’ or ‘the wild’ or ‘civilization’” (275). This idea changes the way we think about most man-made documentaries, showing how we don’t just document the animals, but we add our own human narrative to them. Enforcing ideas such as authority, gender roles, and even heterosexuality. That may seem like a stretch to some. But Halberstam states that we use these animals to study these ideas. To directly quote “Animated animals allow us to explore ideas about humanness” (276). What exactly does she mean by this statement? She uses the term animated to describe these penguins. But to any movie-goer who has seen this film know that it follows a group of real live penguins. Her use of the word animated in this case describes what it is like to be

  • Stereotyping In The Blind Side

    1233 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sometimes in life we are quick to judge a book by its cover, but once we begin to read, we sometimes often discover that the book we once judged, was something special after all. This is exactly what was demonstrated in The Blind Side. Many people saw Michael and was so bothered by his appearance that they did not bother to figure out who he truly was. It wasn’t until they were forced to deal with him, that people saw him for who he really was. Michael was not just some bad kid from the hood, he was a child with a lost spirit that came from a broken home and a bad situation that needed someone to guide him and show him the true meaning of love. As Christians we are taught to love our neighbors, but stereotyping often gets in the way of that. Stereotyping can compel negative results on a person’s character, but in this case, it opens ones heart to mother someone who needs mothering.

  • Outgroup Homogeneity Effect Analysis

    For my Christian Leadership and Service class, our final project is to watch a movie and analyze it according to a prevalent social issue. The movie that my group decided to watch is Zootopia. The film communicates that people should not be indulged by the Outgroup Homogeneity effect. This is when thinking of ingroups as diverse, and those of the outgroup as similar occurs. The movie depicts this because the predators are all classified as being “savage” due to their biological nature even thought it was only some that were acting “savage.” Those couple of predators that were found to be wild made ingroups believe that all outgroup members (predators) were also savage and that they should not take part of important roles in Zootipia. After realizing that she was wrong in thinking that all outgroup members were savage Judy shows that she learned that a

  • Prejudice In The Sneetches

    Gone are the days of legalized slavery, of Nazi Germany, of women being incapable of having a notable opinion. No longer is there a system of racial segregation adopted by an entire country, complete white supremacy or lynchings performed by the Ku Klux Klan. Yet, although we are no longer exposed to such past experiences and despite us living in a world where diversity is embraced more than ever, the existence of prejudice remains. Today we have universally come to accept multiculturalism, varied ethnic backgrounds and those populations who historically were forever stigmatized. But in spite of these developments prejudice has manifested itself in other, more subtle ways and no matter how modernized society become such unfavourable attitudes

  • Prejudice In Tkam

    The text To kill a mockingbird (TKAM) written by harper Lee depicts the story of life in the south of America in the 1930’s as seen through a young girl, Scout Finch. Although a coming of age story TKAM also concentrates very heavily on prejudice. This include racial, social and gender prejudicial attitudes. This is where TKAM connects to Reginald Rose’s play twelve angry men (TAM) where social, racial and personal prejudice attitudes begin to effect the results of a court case. The two texts differ however, as the prejudice in TAM was able to be overcome by the men, where as in TKAM readers were instead shown what happens when people’s prejudicial views cannot be battled, and this resulted in two very different outcomes

    Sheryl Sandberg, an American technology executive, activist, author, and Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, once said, “We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.” Sandberg mentions how people’s expectations are set by stereotypes, which the media reinforces. The stereotypes of social class are extremely prevalent in the media through the way the wealthy, the middle class, and poor class are portrayed. Dianne Kendall, a professor of sociology at Baylor University, wrote the 2005 book Framing Class: Media Representations of Wealthy and Poverty in America with the excerpt “ Framing Class, Vicarious Living, and Conspicuous Consumption” that analyzes how the media

  • Rhetorical Argumentation In The Reality Of Zoos By Michelle Carr

    1034 Words  | 3 Pages

    She allows the reader to identify with her by pointing out that she “went to the zoo all the time with [her] family” and that she “loved pandas” (Carr); the reader identifies with her, as the reader is likely to have visited the zoo as a child or likely to have a love for animals. Initially, she was very excited about seeing the animals so closely, but then she realized, even at that age, the “animals were miserable” (Carr). By telling the reader about her memory, Carr persuades the reader into believing that zoos are depressing and that animals do not belong in unnatural environments. Carr also mentions that she no longer goes to the zoo and urges her family and friends to do the same. The author then adds that she has a love for animals and wishes for the zoo animals to be set free. Again, by involving loved ones and reinforcing her love for animals, Carr appeals to the emotions of the reader. The reader is then likely to identify with the author, urge his or her family members and friends to not go to the zoo, and wish to see animals free from captivity. Therefore, Carr persuades the reader into believing that zoos are wicked by using the persuasive method of pathos. Along with Carr appealing to the reader’s emotions, she appeals to the reader’s

  • Stereotyping And Prejudice

    915 Words  | 2 Pages

    Stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice are phenomena that motivate animated debate amid the scholars as well as the public. Many ponder on which acts should be deemed discriminatory, when they can come to a conclusion that a decision or a social guideline preference is actually founded on prejudice and the role played by prejudice in creating gender and racial disparities. Also of immense interest are queries regarding how the society should react to these problems and whether they have been dealt with in a pleasing manner. Social psychologists lunge into this dispute equipped with scientific method, hoping to gather evidence that can shed the much needed light on these continuing worries. In particular, this paper seeks to shed some light as to why stereotypes and prejudices occur in the mind of perceivers, as well as the manner and under which circumstances they are most likely to manipulate perceivers’ explicit behavior.

    Zootopia (Byron Howard Rich Moore 2016) is an extremely successful film about a bunny named Judy. Within the film there are many direct and obvious themes, but a more implicit theme that I found while watching was, Our preconceived fears about certain groups as a society are directly reflected in Zootopia. I will be using the formal elements: camera angle, camera distance, and sound to argue my point. In the scene I will be analyzing, Judy just finished her press conference and claimed that all predators were savages. She gets off the podium and has an encounter with her friend, Nick, who is a predator. He is mad that Judy made this general statement about predators. Nick scares Judy and acts as though he has
