Zootopia is a fantastic movie with a great theme about fighting prejudice. It’s the studio’s second-highest-rated movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes, and it made over a billion dollars in theaters. Of course it would not be good fit for DAK, but you are in the very slim minority in thinking it’s a bad movie.
You can probably add anything Marvel to that list. Maybe Inside Out, too, considering how much Iger wants to put it in the Imagination pavilion.
This relates to the idea, as the creators explained, that the animals are not stand-ins for humans, and predators do not stand in for any particular minority. Once you start thinking of Zootopians as stand-ins, the movie quickly gets offensive. I think that's the real problem I have with the Rohde tweet that keeps on popping up, though I'm not sure he meant that Zootopia was racist.
Whoops, I didn’t realize you were part of the “silent majority.” I didn’t realize you actually understood the positive themes like fighting prejudice and that it specifically made you like the movie less. I should’ve known.
I think Wish may blow all of those out of the water, from what has been seen so far. Probably not something they could ever implement at AK exactly, but if its big, somewhere.
Idk you’re helping your case with this one dawg…This relates to the idea, as the creators explained, that the animals are not stand-ins for humans, and predators do not stand in for any particular minority.

Any mention of "allegory" by the creators refers to a modern sense, which merely states that there is some loose, albeit intentional, similarities; you're not supposed to think every aspect of predators refers to, say, Black people.
Zootopia was a fantasy about animals first, so you don't have to think this way.
Even if you don't think it fits in Animal Kingdom.
agree, its like they dont think or care anymore, its all about shoehorning in/value engineering. Sometimes I think hong kong or shanghai is really running our parks not Disney World at all. but thats a topic that could go many directions lol.
I agree...I think it would make a fun video game...Attraction? I am not so sure. I think it would end up a lot like the Monsters Inc ride at DCA.... Which doesn't do the IP any favors....
a version of Fire Mountain would have been perfect tied into that for adventureland, but they aren't doing those kinds of things anymore only removing them...Way too many things are appearing lazy, ill conceived and wrongly placed.
I would actually say overwrought rather than lazy, with too much of a focus of storytelling rather than storyshowing.
It’s called blue sky for a reason.
