I am trying to explain that there is nothing problematic about Zootopia 1’s opening. None of what young Judy said ties into a specific real world group. The fantasy element of the animals learning to treat each other better is not a poor allegory, and it’s not inadvertently insulting any real...
But I’ve already explained the multiple reasons why in this very thread on how the metaphors in this film are harmless. If you hate the movie, I can’t do anything about that, but don’t act as if Zootopia is something that Disney has to either change or take away.
Because the story doesn’t do that, since none of the characters are coded to any particular group in real life. They don’t need to be specifically coded for it’s message to be effective.
To be honest (keep in mind I am a PoC, I don’t like having to throw that in, but, well), even if Nick and...
No, no they did not fumble anything. I know that you don’t find it sinister and that you find the film enjoyable, that’s not in dispute with me. I guess my issue is how you keep using the word “racism” as the one way to interpret the metaphors in this film.
Like, I’ve pointed out to you...
Because unfortunately, some people need their fictional metaphors to be spelled out for them exactly like real life for it to be relatable for them.
Kids are smarter than that. They’re going to understand that the predators and prey evolving to treat one another better doesn’t reflect poorly on...
Those problems you’re referring to DON’T EXIST IN THIS STORY. What is it going to take to get you to see that all of the issue with the animals aren’t meant to be a direct mirror on reality? There is nothing problematic here.
Yes, you’ve made it clear that you appreciate Zootopia 1, but you’re...
I don’t care if this is a spoiler: THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE MOVIE. When you call it problematic, that is not a fair criticism on Zootopia, that is a flat out unfair attack. That theory by the end was proven to be fake. Again, THIS MOVIE IS NOT problematic, and I’ve had enough of people pushing...
The savage thing is perfectly harmless, stop it. If you don’t like the movie, just DON’T WATCH it. Quit trying to tear its value down.
If you’d like the Zootopia show simply in a different location, that would be one thing. That I can understand. But I’ve come across too many people online...
For the love of god, Zootopia is NOT PROBLEMATIC. No group of animals represents any particular group! There is nothing insulting in its allegory, and allegories do not need to be perfectly accurate to have value to kids! This movie does not harm minorities, its message is going to hold up...
I guess not a whole lot to say I’ve, loved the Disney catalog my life. My favorite films are lion King 94, Aladdin 92, Zootopia, big hero six and Lilo and stitch.
Can we please, PLEASE stop with the damn backlash over this idea? I am a massive fan of this property and I am so, so tired of the lack of Zootopia content in the western parks, when Disney KNOWS America loves this movie as much as China and we want more of it? They’re animals, and then being...
