- Is it possible Doug has a movie he's changed his mind on? Maybe he sees why this film works better than he originally thought. Doug takes another look at Zootopia.
Zootopia is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated buddy cop comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 55th Disney animated feature film. It was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, co-directed by Jared Bush, and stars the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, Jenny Slate, Nate Torrence, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, Tommy Chong, J. K. Simmons, Octavia Spencer, Alan Tudyk, and Shakira.

I think a lot of people across the spectrum miss the point of Zootopia. It's not a simple parable - it explores the idea that power relationships are very complex and contextual, and can't be boiled into a simple "predator vs. prey", or, in our world, "black vs. white".
I'm especially fond of the fact that the movie follows Tolkien's rule about applicability instead of allegory: no group in the movie is a direct analogue for any group in the real world, and any attempt to make them such fails on analysis. Instead, the movie shuffles and remixes the issues that allows us to explore them independently of real-world relationships.
Great point. I even said myself that the movie makes just as much sense if you think of the predators as white people and the prey as minority groups. Because of how complicated and back and forth the social relationship is, no group in the movie is decidedly representative of any real life social group.
Moreover, if you look at the really powerful (the cops), they're a mix of predator & prey - that category is irrelevant to them. The power indicator for them is that they're the largest animals. And there's a differential relationship between the "prey" animals in the countryside vs. the "prey" animals in the city.
That's what makes this so brilliant; because you can take any two real world groups in a power relationship and relate them to the various animal groups and make a valid point - and then swap those relationships between the RL groups and the groups in the movie, and make a different valid point.

FINALLY someone Not-Racist (or Not-Reverse-Racist) enough to see beyond the easiet interpretation!
@@Robobagpiper much like the difference in culture between Muslims and Americans, which is the biggest issue between two cultures of our world at this time, and has been ever since the 9/11 incident.
This is important and it’s why I get frustrated every time there are criticisms based on people trying to make it allegorical. It never fits exactly right and they explain this as a failing of the movie rather than a deliberate choice. It was a good idea for them to not have the prejudices in the movie align perfectly with the real world. That makes it more universal and timeless - any person can see themselves in any part of the social structures at any given time.
I just like how this movie showed their can be prejudices on both sides
And even from the most "innocent" characters as well.
Turns out not being racist isn't as simple as not wanting to be racist. There's a lot more to understanding the core concept
"Both sides"
That’s the best part
I guess it didn't stick because there are minorities that still think that it's impossible for them to be racist because they are from a particular race. It's obviously not true, but society has it ingrained in them that if they are the victim almost all the time, it's not a thing that could happen to them.
Doug is right. This was a movie that took a big risk and it actually played out great. When I saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be a buddy cop movie that would be ok. But after watching it, I was taken completely by surprise. Still my only complaint was the villan but even then I still really enjoyed this movie. I'm glad Doug gave it a good review 🙂
yeah the villain wasnt really a surprise, you could see it the second that you saw how the mayor walked all over her.
pfhahahahaha. A big risk. Pfhahahahahahaha!
Big risk ? Are you on meth ? This shit was so pathetically played safe, it hurt. It's a shitty tryhard to be satirical buddy comedy pretending to be a crime story and failing at it.
If people these days think this pile of ass is good, we've gone backwards since The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
@@TheDen-ec9xe you're the one on meth
@@UltimateGamerCC Well, I totally fell for the twist villain. In what way is it obvious?
My favorite description of this movie:
“Hey can we make a buddy cop movie?”
Disney exec: “did you say bunny cop movie?”
“...yes”
It's amazing how well Zootopia tackled the topic of racism even though the film itself never once uses the word Raicist.
Because it's not a movie about racism, but bias and prejudice. Those two traits can cover almost any demographic, not just race. Body shape, Language, Ethnicity, Religion, National Identity, Sex, Gender Identity, Culture, you think of ANY difference people share and there WILL be the potential for bias and prejudice.
It's amazing how much of a pathetic half-assed job at tackling racism this furrybait trash does. Because being so fucking politically correct to not even use the word "racism" is clearly mature. Because what's the best way to condemn racism by doing a half-assed protest scene for two minutes and shove tons of pathetic jokes about nudism or cel apps, right ?
God, have we sunk so fucking low since The Hunchback of Notre Dame......
@@TheDen-ec9xe It's not about racism, but prejudice. There's a big difference there. It also doesn't really 'condemn' anything, rather it shiws how we all can be biased without realizing it, and tries to present a solution (looking for those who stoke the flames of hatred).
Using this movie as an analogy, you can represent nearly any group with either the predator or prey groups, and still have a valid comparison.
For example, you can use race, and say either group represents blacks, whites, Asians, Middle Easterners, etc. Or, you can use religious groups, where you could have them represent Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Christians, etc. In fact, you could even make an argument comparing it to situations like Charlottesville, where the "predators" (minority) were the alt-right protestors, the "prey"(majority) were the counter-protestors, and the "mayor/nightcrawlers" which made people violent were Antifa and the extremist neonazis.
Tl;dr - It's mainly about prejudice, not racism.
The villain of the movie is literally an SJW.
Exactly. This is how you tackle a topic without mentioning that topic or dumbing it down for kids.
Nice to see that he enjoyed this movie a lot more than the first time.
I heard that in designing the city the team actually consulted people who work in fields such as HVAC or accommodating people of different needs, so like when you see the MASSIVE heating and cooling systems for the desert and arctic regions that might be how it would actually work in real life if such a system were ever needed.
You can see that principle in use in many places, with ice hockey halls being built next to swimming pools. The energy used to cool the one, goes right into heating the other.
I keep thinking how cool a concept like that is, and it's one of my favorite establishing shots out of any movie I've seen.
I think the film seems too current as it came out, but it's overall lasting appeal is going to make more sense the more time passes, just like Doug said (sorta). It's that kind of movie that will be a time capsule for an important time in someone's life, and I think it's the best representation of what we have for both the good and the bad of this generation and its future.
@@Rikorage < I think the film seems too current as it came out
It was made during the Obama administration and came out the year Trump was elected; from a political standpoint, it was timeless from conception - especially considering how it would've turned out with the "tame collars" and whatnot from the original draft.
Sorry, homework. Doug has just uploaded
Your final exams studying can wait 5 minutes
Omg same >~
lol
Seeing a Zootopia world in KHIII would be a great addition with those 3 different biomes included.
Huh, it would be, but we'll have to see. A lot has been shown, and the game is a month away.
Any movie released after Big Hero 6 will not be included in Kingdom Hearts 3, which sadly includes Zootopia.
Besides, I'd rather see Robin Hood first. The scenery in that film DESERVES service from the Kingdom Shader.
It would be, but I think they would have announced it by now if they were going to include this. It's all smaller announcements from Hundred Acre Wood until release.
And Hundred Acre Wood looks to attempt recreating a look not unlike the 70s Disney movies, so Robin Hood would have probably looked a bit like that.
@@TheDen-ec9xe Is that the best you can do? C'mon. Try using a real insult.
I liked this movie a lot. They tried to talk to kids about a lot of hot topics without really talking down to them
I hate this movie a lot. It's so mind numbingly self indulgent with its cringy ass jokes, its message is muddled up politically correct liberal shit, and if you're telling me that jokes about nudism, cringe cell apps or meth cooking aren't trying too hard to be edgy or cool, then you're lost.
What's embarassing is that morons like you think this could be as good or better than The Hunchback of Notre Dame. You know, a MUCH more mature movie.
@@TheDen-ec9xe Wait a minute, the movie with the talking gargoyles making armpit fart jokes and literally saying "cut the cheese" is more "mature"? Seriously?!?
And how is the 'cringy cell app" (as you put it) any LESS cringy than the scene in Hunchback where the gargoyle literally compares Quasimodo going after Esmerelda to fishing for a mackerel?
I mean, I'll grant you that 'Hellfire' is one of the most badass villain movies in all of Disney films, but c'mon dude. Both The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Zootopia had their share of stupid kid jokes. Know why? Because they're both kids films made by Disney. Duh!
Ron Yahil I'd rather take a few fart jokes relegated to a few comedic sidekicks, in a movie where a woman dies by cracking her skull, heavily implied torture by whipping, public humiliation, another woman burned at the stake than an entire movie littered with walking punchlines that pretends to be taken seriously where the biggest threat is a fucking sheep with nerdy glasses and a blouse and a dart gun.
And no, the "it's 4 kids" excuse is moot. Try another one.
@@TheDen-ec9xe your anger is only hurting you. You aren't able to inflict that pain on others.
@@TheDen-ec9xe Pretty sure that the 'biggest threat' in Zootopia is the fact that some of the animals are forced against their will to became rabid monsters driven to violently slaughter and then eat the other animals. Maybe you didn't watch that movie as closely as you should have.
Also, I don't remember uncontrolled cannibalism being a major threat in Hunchback. Whether that is "more serious" than a person being burned at the stake or public humiliation is. . . up to interpretation, I guess.
2:27 Just realized that Nick's eyes dilated a bit after the light went back off, then shrunk when he got pushed. Every time I see parts of this movie again, the amount of details that go unnoticed astound me, and I can appreciate my new favorite Disney movie even more.
3:15 I'm not crying. YOU'RE CRYING
Zootopia is (hands down) one of the best animated films' made by Disney.
zootopia is not a buddy cop movie it is a bunny cop movie
its bad movie.
@@zoltanz288 says you hater
*groooan Somebody get the sack, we got a punner
That was actually the thing I understood the first time he said it^^"
Guys chill out! everyone's got their own opinion! if you guys like it, that's fine! if they didn't, that's fine too!
This film I like to think gives what can be called “the Mufasa Effect”. Presenting a concept that is dark and complicated to a child in a tone that doesn’t frighten them too badly and also helps them understand why it exists and is a part of life, or in this case, modern culture.
Doug I can't believe you could make such a simple mistake, this movie isn't even a Buddy Cop movie.
It's very clearly a BUNNY COP movie.
One of my all time favorite films. Disney nailed it on this one.
nop.
@@zoltanz288 go away
Love your commentary on this film. Was very creative.
and wrong.
@@zoltanz288 boo hoo
Zootopia will forever be one of my all time favorites.
Agreed haters can take a hike 😉
At first I thought this was overrated, but after watching it a few more times, I do like it a lot more now.
That's the opposite for me ^^ I first loved it to death but the more I watch it, the more I can see the elements I don't like about it: Nick Wilde and THE SCENE x)
I saw it once but I remember it being funnier than most comedies.
I watched enough to think it's fucking terrible. Lame jokes, too much self-awareness while trying too hard to be serious, hideous characters, libtard messages on the nose. It IS overrated.
And the villain is awful.
@@TheDen-ec9xe I can't take someone who uses the word "libtard" unironically, seriously. But nice job giving away your political leanings, I can see why someone like you wouldn't like this movie.
@@HappyMan0203 I can't take someone so stupid to jump to conclusions just because of one word. Shows the average intelligence of the moron who think this garbage is brilliant.
And no, I don't hate it because I'm some AltRight Trump supporter. I hate it because it's preachy and a mess of a story and tone. Wanna know a film that tackled the EXACT same themes without trying too hard to be some pretentious edgy parody ? The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I also like that they actual use drugs. Sure they don’t talk about it as drugs, but those flowers that turn predators savage is clearly some sort of drug. To see a Disney movie about racism include drugs and actually admit even the likeable main character can prejudice was really good and felt interesting.
I just wish they used a made-up flower. Like, what they actually used were crocuses. A few weeks after this movie came out, they would have started blooming and I could just imagine kids going, "Look! It's the 'night howlers'! We should destroy them because they're bad for animals!" As a gardener, I took offense at their use of a real flower.
@@StasherDragon Night Howlers is a real flower?
@@joshuajoe1419 It's a crocus. Early spring blooming flower. One certain species has parts used for saffron.
@@joshuajoe1419 The flower they modeled it after is a crocus. Blooms very early in the year. One variant of it is where we get saffron from.
What I really like about this movie is how it doesn’t even target anyone. I mean, real people on which political side they are on. Surprisingly it addresses a serious issue even in our real society and it doesn’t throw the blame or even hides who is behind it all. But it addresses it in the most natural and human way possible. Honestly, I’m glad this film wasn’t meant to target anyone but rather explains to us on why people can be racist or prejudicial in a open audience manner. People aren’t are born with hate in their hearts and sometimes people have their reasons to think down upon others. In my opinion the very root of racism, is misunderstanding. We often perceive our experiences as worse than others and that would lead us to grow resentful of those who we think have it better. Just because I’m a white male doesn’t automatically make me the standard racist. Racism goes both ways people, and it will remain an issue as long as we continue to blame and point at who we suspect is the cause of it. People like MLK not once has ever claimed that racism was rooted by a single race. Gandhi said “Humanity is a vast ocean, just because there are a few specks of dirt, it doesn’t make the whole ocean dirty.”. We as humans are always quick to judge and we can most of the time be stubborn about it. I think the idea that having Judy bear a itty bitty pit of prejudice within herself is flat-out exactly what people need to see. NO ONE IS PERFECT OR PURE, but that doesn’t mean we can’t strive for such a goal. But just because Judy has that prejudicial sense doesn’t make her a bad guy, we relate to why she has developed such a sense because of her past experiences. The issue is when we let that sense of prejudice cloud our judgment and control how we think, listen, speak, and even act.
It doesn’t matter who is the racist or which group is, the important thing is that we don’t allow ourselves to become corrupt by such thoughts and even beliefs. It doesn’t matter whether you’re Left, Right, or Independent, because racism wasn’t created by someone or some group, or even a nation. It is created within each of us. Nobody is at fault because how can you blame human nature itself when you are just as human as the rest of us.
I absolutely love how Zootopia could’ve easily just message out that ‘Racism is evil’ and make a nice profit, but instead it actually tries to explain such bits of our nature and dives deep into it. It does present what racism causes within a community, but it also explains that this argument is not a matter of good vs. evil. People have their reasons and even those reasons can be understandable when we actually take the time to think about them. Racism is built out of misunderstandings and fear. You can argue that it is also built out of greed and you can be correct, but in today’s society, I don’t think that’s the case.
it targets conservative people i think. Not sure. And i dont care much.
Zoltan Z I’m conservative and I never ever considered that, racism is not based off of political ideology, it comes from us individually. It becomes a serious issue for a community when a group of such belief decide to rally and practice such belief. It is just as racist as victimizing yourself based on skin color as it is thinking of yourself racially superior over others. Like I said, it goes both ways.
Just because your ancestors went through something doesn’t mean that YOU shared their suffering or that anybody owes you anything out of the past. Both political sides have racist groups of their own.
What this movie is trying to tell us is where racism comes and why. It’s not trying to tell people to victimize themselves because that will not contribute anything to the fight on racism. What we need to do is unite as one and stop living in a ‘us vs them’ mindset.
@@AlphaKiller-vx9sk i really dont know how you got all this from the movie but... ok, i guess i agree.
I agree, actually. These movies are actually teaching something in the best way the can, but is sad how this world, the real world isn't changing that much... Are we hypocrites or something? 🤔 Maybe not, the way we act in some situations with someone is determined in a lot of cases by our education, by the way our parents or relatives bring us up. So, I hope parents will stop thinking "Disney movies are for kids" and understand that Disney movies like these are for everyone, everyone must change and learn!
I support the notion that a strong character has to be flawed/have weaknesses in some way. It is this flaw that stirs inner conflict and forces the characters to grow (character development).
Judy here appears to be our standard Disney protagonist, naively optimistic, ready to go make the world a better place. But she does have that same flaw that has caused her so much harm, and she didn't even realize it. Much like real people.
Prejudices often have some truth to them. It isn't any -ism to say that. The -ism is to apply that prejudice to an invidual.
I'd like to mention that Zootopia isn't about racism. It is not an allegory.
Would it be controversial for me to say that I actually find "Zootopia" to be a modern masterpiece? Why? Because not only is the world building huge and impressive, but the film through its story is a reflection of real life -- as seen through the lens of anthropomorphic animals. In many ways, it feels like a modern Aesop Fable featuring predator/prey dichotomy and it's beautifully executed. It also feels like a multi-genre film -- a sort of police drama, whodunnit mystery, political thriller, action comedy, kids film that adults can watch and enjoy. I think part of the ambitious nature of this film is not just that "prejudice is bad", but that it can come from well-intentioned places and frames of mind. It approaches it psychologically rather than at face value. Not to mention the main characters are very likeable, relatable, well-developed, and all around cute (with such great casting too). In all honesty, I hope this movie remains relevant for generations. Better yet, I would love to see a sequel -- one that could explore the trails and tribulations of being a seasoned cop, PTSD, police corruption, possible romance, etc. There's also so much to see and explore in this huge city.
Zootopia is a gem.
as much as I like the movie, the villain needed to be improved
I liked The Villian just fine I was actually surprised that The Assistant Mayor a sheep was the villian I think that I found the Assistant Mayor was the villian about 15 minuets before Judy and Nick did
Zootopia is the only modern Disney movie that is actually good. Everything else made by modern Disney is crap or mediocre at best.
Very well said. I liked how it tackled so many real-world issues while also making it come across without just shoving it in the viewers' faces. And it made the characters all three-dimensional. The good guys aren't perfect saintly angels and the villain, while still pretty bad, you see from a certain view how their mindset put them on the track they went down. It was handled wonderfully well and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Edit: I *LITERALLY* just saw it for the first time last night.
The twist villain lowered it from being a masterpiece
This video aged like fine wine
One thing I heard a little while ago always kinda stuck out to me: "Your first thought is what society trains you to believe and your second thought is who you really are". So if your first thought is "oh no! that person's skin colour is different and that scares me" and then your second is "no, wait, they're just another regular schmoe with a regular job", you're doing your humanly best to ignore racial stereotypes and prejudices.
Don't know if it's the most helpful thing out there, but as an anxious introvert it helps me a lot when meeting new people.
ZOOTOPIA! I love the bootleg DVD scene even more now because the Meowana cover couldn't foresee the heavy use of Maui (probably Miaui) in the marketing and eventual actual home media covers. And the fact that Gigantic got cancelled means Zootopia got to see more Giraffic than we get of Gigantic
Gigantic is still considered to be made, we may never know.
@@akaredrobranger I honestly hope so, but I can wait for a GOOD movie rather than a rushed script.
@@BrandontheBeldam2993 you're right. Sometimes a good script takes long to write but some cases the scripts can go wrong

I hope their is a sequel, ( a good one not a trash like incredible 2)
I loved this film, it made me rethink of cute animal films a little differently and how it connects to our world extremely well

Lola had booty too. Just not as pronounced as Judy's. Lol
Judy's T H I C C
You say that jokingly, but when Shakira was cast in the movie, her one condition was that they give that gazelle she played more of a booty. So this comment is more on point than you'd think.
I’m in the Pittsburgh area and I cannot tell you how much that shooting affected the community. Change needs to happen.
Doug pleases the furries once again since his Space Jam review.
Bunny boobies.
One simply does not discuss the bunny boobies
And his Disney Robin Hood review.
BOY is this comment going to blow up in a week
" _We got _*_BALLZ!_*_ !_ "
It makes more sense here since the animals are more realistically proportioned and a lot of rabbits do have pretty big chests that like to stick out.
yeah this movie was brilliant more so then we even thought it was
Except it's not. If you think shoving as many movie references and jokes about cringe ass cel apps or nudism is clever, then no wonder retardation is growing....
The Den I totally agree with you
@@wtfyoutube4873 you're both sad
Well, this movie's message became a lot more relevant now
Definitely
Yeah Doug, but what about that bomb-ass Shakira, I mean, Gazelle song?
As far as I'm concerned, Gazelle is now officially Shakira's fursona.
I actually agree with Doug here. Not only was this an amazing buddy cop movie, but it’s a RELEVANT buddy cop movie. Given how many racial and political crimes are still being committed in America, it’s a shock how much this film still holds up.
Zootopia is not just a simple kids film. It’s smart, it’s mature, it’s important. And because of that, it managed to be my favorite animated film from Disney. I haven’t seen such a well-written buddy cop movie that tackles issues of prejudice since In The Heat of the Night.
I love this movie. It’s themes are still something we must acknowledge, even to this day. That’s why I will, for now and always, love this movie.
bullshit.
Zoltan Z What exactly is bullshit buddy?
@@0816M3RC Probably the idea that this is important. Because some racist fuckwits get constant media attention we now have this belief that this is some major problem in America that, potential, most Americans are supporting. Yet, if you were to ask Americans how they feel about racism, bigotry, and prejudice against a group of people for just being that group I can bet my life savings that the overwhelming majority would be vehemently against it. When you have people crying racism over the smallest thing it seems as if racism is everywhere. However, it's not. It still is a very loud, but minority group of people in the country that continues to shrink.
Zootopia isn't really saying anything the majority of the country doesn't already understand and agree with. Racism and prejudice bad.
Lot of the hate crimes happen today are proven fake
Amazing my left asscheek, it's fucking terrible as a crime story, and it's irksome as fuck as a buddy comedy. It's just these two selfish nitwits stumbling into one silly setpiece after another.
And mature ? Yeah, the chief police officer playing with face-swalling apps, the sloth scene or the nudist club were soooooo mature.
And tackle what ? All the prejudice we see is a protest rally done by some hippies and a momma bunny on a bus being weary of some tiger dude.
If this is what we reached ever since the MUCH more mature Hunchback of Notre Dame, then Disney is lost for me.
But of course only furfags would find this garbage compelling....
"Here's hoping Obvious can be obvious enough"
Well, hitting the nail on the head likely isn't enough. We need to drop an anvil.
just carpet bomb the place and forget about it.
Zootopia's personally my favorite animated Disney film. The story, the characters, the hilarious jokes, the wonderful message, the breathtaking animation, just about everything I love in a film was expressed and fleshed out here and then some. I thought it was unbelievable when I first saw it and I continue to adore it even when seeing it more times.
If you look the cut scene the movie was way darker and obvious but in the end they nailed it (but would love to see the deleted version)
I wanted to see this movie even before it came out when I saw the previews because it was a mystery and I love mysteries. I come with my own little issues when it comes to reality. Like I don't ever want to be out at night during the city because I am terrified something bad is going to happen (thanks to a combo of my parents' actions and the news). I don't trust strangers talking to me because I grew up with the rule, don't talk to strangers. For me this is one of the best Disney films and the fact that talked about a heavy social issue so well is inspiring.
Thumbs up if you're from the UK but you refuse to call this movie "Zootropolis".
Yep XD
In Poland it's called by simplifying "Animalgarden".
It actually means Animal Gord (which is technically a settlement in the slavic regions of Europe during the medieval times, but here it just means settlement)
Yes !! I hate the title Zootropolis lol 😋😋 xx
In Germany and Austria it‘s called „Zoomania“, wich sounds even more stupid! The reason for this is, because there’s already an actual zoo in Germany that’s called Zootopia.
Glad to see Doug finally came around on this movie. Definitely one of the most interesting animated films to come out in the last decade.
"you can see it's Jason Bateman."
Nnnno I can't.
No really XD
*Jason* got a chin larger than his head, *Nick* have a long face and no chin… I can hardly see him there.
Maybe I agree cuz of his roles on Juno and Arrested Development. That's so the style/facials of Jason Bateman.
Well spoken Doug ... well spoken :) The ideas the animation and the jokes are brilliant, and the focus is on a reallife problem :) This movie make me laugh and cry and thoughtful. Great you give it a second view and changed your first pov of it :)
Also.. i would like you could admit "Why there are no lizards and fishes in Zootopia?" ;)
This is my all time favorite movie!! I love the characters, the visuals and th story, though a little simplistic speaks to me. And some of the Fanfics are just so gripping. LOVE IT!!
Zootopia (or Zoomania as it is called in my country) is one of my favorite Disney movies. The characters are well written, it has a good story and the designs are so beautiful!
Defenetly my all time favorite Disney movie!!! Can't wait for the sequel!!!!
IS there really a sequel?? That would be neat!
@@DanaRichman supposedly, its been in the works for some time..
@@linkgold64 Well that would be neat if it was true.
The twist of Bellwether being the villain and making the predators go savage to create a smear campaign against them really shows how morally grey the world of politics is, regardless of which one it is every side will do hypocritical things to turn the circumstances to their advantage, she wants to benefit the lives of the prey class but at the same time not caring about the predator class, and that’s just how politics is, no matter what you do 1 side will always suffer in some way and feel the need to protest, it’s like a pinball machine, the ball can represent peace and harmony, it’ll land in different spots at different times but it can’t go to everyone at the same time cause it’s constantly being knocked away from 1 side and going over to another, 1 group will always be unsatisfied with how the world is and that’s just how it works
This is one of my favorite Disney movies!
that was a beautiful description of an amazing movie.
*dear lord there was about 16 furries in the cinema when I went to go watch it*
Is sad that a movie about prejudices get labeled as "libtard propaganda" :(
LittleLion93 personally, I though the film was more about reverse discrimination. Since predators seem to have privileges over prey and used to eat them, it seems that they were the oppressors. Similar to white people oppressing people of color. This film is showing that all the characters can be victims of prejudice regardless of their race.
@@anthonyjat1964 Yes you are right! Everyone can be and often is victim of prejudices, we forget about this very easely unfortunally.
it is propaganda.
This is why I absolutely despise movies that try to push any kind of "both sides are equally responsible" narrative. You know who, in real life, is always the one insisting both sides suck equally? The side that sucks a million times harder.
John Stewart found out the exact same thing with his Rally to Restore Sanity. He tried to pretend the left and the right were equally responsible, and the right responded by issuing a fatwa upon him for the unpardonable crime of not being lockstep with the right, and the left applauded his sentiments at first, then wrote him off as spineless for his insistence on continuing to pretend that the people calling for his death were still equatable to the people who had supported him.
If there's ever a Zootopia 2, I hope there's at least one part where Nick rails on the villain still having a 30% approval rating, and for the fact that 30% is actually artificially low on account of all the mammals who do approve but are afraid to admit it or don't approve because they don't think the villain went far enough.
That is the dynamic we are currently living under with Don the Con. The people that go to his rallies, kiss his ass and chant "lock her up?" They don't love Donald Trump because they've been tricked into thinking he's not a monster. They love him BECAUSE he's a monster. And the one time some of them did turn on him and set their MAGA hats on fire, it was in response to the one time Trump demonstrated some shred of humanity -- the time Trump revealed that he was not monstrous enough for them.
I've actually never heard this film called liberal propaganda. In fact, I think it speaks to conservatives a lot when it comes to all the stigmas and assumptions that come with being a conservative. People on the right are often accused of racism and excluded from discussions/shut down even if there is absolutely no evidence of such. Very sad to see whats going on, especially in our places of higher education like universities.
Very well-written analysis! I always enjoy these types of videos 👍🏽
One of my favorite Disney animated films
*The way that the Bunny has prejudice but doesn’t shout it out, is so good. That’s genuinely how a lot of racism is. They won’t be yelling racial slurs or anything but, they’ll still have that prejudice deep inside.* 💯💯💯
If anthropomorphic animals can learn this message, what is mankind's excuse?
We're not written by Disney?
Because we aren’t animals, and a movie doesn’t have to be realistic?
Their fictional charcters in a movie who can solve their problems thanks to the script, and hunanity is a broken race who has difficulty seeing any side other then ones own, or what media tells them.
The Gamer's Shade exactly
Because, they don't exist?
Sooooooo I need to see this movie again with this analysis in mind to enjoy it even more... Thanks Doug !!
Much respect to youre work Doug and channel awesome! Been following for a long while and still rewatch a LOT your episodes! Much love from Sweden,

The movie is about a lot of prejudices not just racism. I feel this gets forgotten or overshadowed by many.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time and even my dad loved this movie.
My favorite movie from 2016. The characters, the jokes, the animation , the message behind. It was 100% amazing. However I only noticed mammals in this world. I really wanted to see some birds , reptiles , etc.
3:39 Yes! Thank you! You have no idea how long I've waited for a reviewer to say that. Far too often, unfortunately, I see people trying so desperately to project their own political spin on movies like this that they end up completely missing the point and end up making assumptions about people they clearly know nothing about, saying things like "it's the movie people on the other side need to see", as if the film's message doesn't apply to them as well. Honestly one of the best things about Zootopia is how it doesn't ever reduce the conflict down to "good guys versus evil bigots", but instead takes a far more mature and nuanced approach on the issue, making it much more relatable and applicable to real life.
My favorite film from 2016!
You and every other Disney fan's
@@trippcory Not me. I love Zootopia, but I feel Kubo and the Two Strings is just a bit better.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy I stand corrected
@@KeybladeMasterAndy Yeah, I like Kubo.
This gave me a new appreciation for this film, I always liked it before, but now I think it's even better.
I got teary-eyed, like, ten times during this movie. It's not without its flaws, but in a movie about learning to be accepting of the flaws of others and bettering ourselves by doing so, that just feels right.
This was an awesome movie. I luved it.

The rodent tiny city-in-city would be really well suited for businesses developing and/or repairing miniaturized electronics such as computer chips and cell phones. I can see why Zootopia's technology would be advanced.
Yeah, you have no idea how painful it is to work on this with human hands O_O. So that is a good point
This is easily my second favorite Disney movie. Thank you so much for giving it the review it deserves. When I saw your original review of it, I 1) was annoyed you didn't do a Sibling Rivalry, and 2) felt you kind of under-appreciated what it did. You say it was a bit hammer on the head, but I actually felt there were lots of places where it was subtle, especially when tackling how people have prejudices without realizing it. I particularly liked how they used Clawhauser later in the film. Anyway, glad you've come to appreciate the film more. You might be happy to know that both college and law enforcement are using it to teach courses.
Really? They're using Zootopia for training in Law Enforcement and Police Academy?
It should never be expected that the world should convert to them, where everything is fair to everyone, regardless of opportunity.
For example, on Judy's first day of the job, she expects to go straight onto the street and start fighting crime with all the other animals. However, because she's the rookie, she has to work her way up from ground zero, which is very understandable. It's trying to preach the message of racial prejudice with Judy being a bunny and all the other animals being big and strong, like a hippo or an elephant. Even if that was the intention of the film, that is not at all how it came across.
There's also taking in mind that because she's a bunny, there are certain crimes that she wouldn't do as well with. There's physical and mental limitations to take into mind, as well. I understand Zootopia is trying to address problems with race and prejudice, but the message itself isn't always explained in the best way. Animals in the animal kingdom are far more complex than that of humans.
I like the parts where it talks about how the people are product of their environment and when you're bringing different cultures or species together in one land, you're going to be mad with prejudice, invasive instinct and hesitation.
It's up to the individual to make the choice of working as one species, regardless of their background. It should never be left in the hands of the authoritarians.
Appropriate name for such a well thought out counterpoint.
To the second paragraph: On the other hand there are a lot of crimes in that city that the big animals couldn't handle, as demonstrated in the weasel chase scene. The Rhino or Elephant couldn't have gone through that chase, and while that specific instance of her chasing that criminal was her breaking the rules, there are surely many more of such situations where her specific abilities are very useful, and the big animals fail.
@@ayior, of course.
@@MrDj232, :)
It should also be noted, having known people who work for police departments, that while rookies usually start on the bottom, the bottom is patrol duty, not meter maid. In many cities meter maids aren't actually part of the police force, just sharing their precinct buildings. In cities where they are both controlled by the same department, the job of meter maid is also not a starting position but instead given to officers who are injured or disabled in some other way as it is the least demanding in terms of possibly aggregating said injury or the likelyhood of dangerous confrontation.
It is also worth stating that while a rabbit, Judy had managed to pass all the same physical and mental training as the other officers in her academy. The fact that despite this she was still assigned duty that regularly goes to officers nearing retirement or recovering from surgery shows their lack of respect for her and the thought that she is not a real officer.
I enjoyed reading your critique, but felt some of this needed to be brought up as well.
Yes!
I think this is a wonderful movie. Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman are fantastic in their roles, Zootopia itself looks beautiful and is a really creative place. I smiled throughout much of the movie and the dialogue and animation are great.
As far as the message goes, it is obvious and spelled out but I think that's even more incredible. It's amazing how Disney can deliver such a serious message like that to children.
YAY!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! I love this movie.
Doug can you do both nanny McPhee films please
I don't think those are disney, but they are excellent films in my opinion
They aren’t there universal pictures
I think you mean Mary Poppins, because Nanny McPhee has nothing to do with Disney.
What do you mean *both*?
But I think the real question is "Did Malcolm like it?"
I often struggle to name my favorite movies, but this is one I always put on the list.
I literally watched this movie for the first time last night. It left me a little sad at the end, thinking about everything inside the movie, but all in and all left me hopeful. One day my kids might watch this movie and learn something out of it. Maybe it'll help those struggling now. Not to mention the animation and design in it it's simply wonderful and a blast to watch. Good review and loving your timing!
Don't worry Doug. It's gotten worse than ever. Still must be spelled out
Most of these comments are just people saying there happy for being a furry
Personally, I'm a sucker for buddy cop-style movies.
Set these poeple on fire... Keep Animals away from these sick fucks.
@@WindyREDPanda well that's rude, I was just making an observation.
@@tylerrivas8542 Ya shit. I rather Burn in hell than to be on a Planet full of Furries. So ya be doin' me a Favor.
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 All-seeing and yet ya can't see how disgusting it is to want to fuck an animal. Go find a 3rd world to live in for that shit.
I love this movie so much. It's one of my all time favorite, even if I HATE the fact that this movie NEEDS to exist the way it does.
One of the best animated movies ever in my opinion, every time I rewatch this movie is always a total blast from start to finish. Rating: 10
I Love Zootopia So Much!!! Zootopia 2 And A TV Show Needs To Be A Thing!!! :3
This movie is how to do a topic on political climate done right. It’s not one-sided, even though it’s done with furries! But the villain was really stupid and was predictable.
I didn't find the villain predictable, but it was stupid. The one blemish in an otherwise perfect film.
@@surprisedwoody1025 Sadly the movie was rushed to its current incarnation after a LONG development being an entirely different film. Considering the movie was like 90% rewritten, shot and animated in a year, it's damn impressive.
Imagine if you had a project that you had been working on for a year, and with 1 month to go you had to scrap almost ALL of it and start from scratch, AND have it be good.
Not one sided ? HAHAHAHAHA Please, it's so blatantly PC and liberal leaning, it just hurts.
You know what movies tackled racism and intollerance without shoving fucking cringy cell apps jokes or distracting movie easter eggs at every corner ?
The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Which also had a MUCH better villain.
@@surprisedwoody1025 Ohhhhhh come fucking on, it was crystal clear from the trailers that either the Mayor or the sheep bitch were shady. Disney has pulled this trite last minute plot twist villain crap for years now, and they all suck. Except Turbo.
@@TheDen-ec9xe - What parts of the movie were liberal leaning?
This film is now to me really 8mportant because it not only discusses these topics but does in a good way so we will go watch it again and learn more than we did the first time
Took my Grandma to watch this after I got my first paycheck because she wanted to see it and I wanted to treat her to a movie after years of taking me to watch Disney, Pixar, and Studio Ghibli movies since I was little. We both loved it so much 😊
Hey Nostalgia Critic, this is REALLY off topic, but could you review Nanny McPhee? That's just something I would like to know your opinion of 😊
An open world zootopia game where you can explore the city would be sick.
batt3ryac1d I hope it's rated M for Sexual Themes.😘😍

Thank you for this, Doug. Your opinion really speaks to me.
Well guys who liked Zootopia . Thery beastars its like Zootopia but for adults
Who agrees Zootopia is better than Moana?
Moana was disappointing for me, The Rock was that movie's saving grace.
Why compare them?
+nigerianprincess101 Because they came out the same year and were from the same studio. It's a legitimate comparison to make.
And Zootopia is _sooo_ much better. xD
Isn't the point of this Disneycember that Disney comes out with a shit ton of content every year? And I don't think it's at all a good comparison of a Disney princess movie based on Polynesian culture to a movie about antropamorphic animals meant to be an allegory for racism.
The point is that they're both films released by the Walt Disney Animation Studio, which is a specific division of the Disney Company, and they were released in the same year. Despite the Company's overall output, it's actually very rare for the Animation Studio to release two films in such close proximity (in fact they sometimes go several years between releases), so when they _do_ release two films in one year those two films are almost inevitably going to be compared to each other.
In any event, despite their different subject matter it is still perfectly acceptable to compare the two films for their technical execution or their quality of writing. And in my opinion, Zootopia is the better film in those categories.
This movie had no right to be as good as it is. That's why it was amazing for me. I went to see a funny buddy cop movie and by the end it had me at the edge of my seat. Not only it's one of my favorite Disney movies, it's one of my favorite movies period.
Why do love more of these types of reviews than the fancy over the top skits... i love Dougs analysis....
Review the incredibles 2
It's on the list
This film actually could've gone even darker with the discrimination of predators. In the older script, predators were treated as second class citizens, profiled constantly, forced to wear shock collars that would activate when extreme emotions. The eerie similarities to racial discrimination in real life got so serious that the producers removed to the tame collars and toned it down as the film was way too dark and real to even be enjoyable.
I think that while the tame collar story could really hit home the message of prejudice and discrimination, but I can understand why they would change it.
I feel like they made it not so blatant forms because a) its a kid film so they can’t really go too far and b) it shows how racism isn’t so on surface. In today’s world we have obvious cases of racism but because it’s not blatant or how it was in the 80s, people tend to try to spin it off as not being racist. Having zootopia do this, makes it clear that just because it’s not on surface doesn’t make it not racist
@@williamnguyen8663 I can agree with that. That's how the world is now.
Nathan Caldwell yeah, for some reason people these days think racism is just “I won’t serve a black person” rather it’s more subdue.
@@williamnguyen8663 Yeah and also those bigots who try to defend their hateful claims by saying "I've got plenty of black friends".
The world is just crap and we have to accept that, all we can do is be better and do better. What some asshole did isn't a reflection of you.
Nathan Caldwell yep, it’s a sad world. People try to justify racism with “a black person is successful”
In my opinion, this is not only one of Disney’s best modern films but one of their best movies of all time!
I always enjoy your reviews Doug!
Stay awesome!
