everyone has prejudice

Even if you look at the story itself, it is a good enough crime comedy, and the creative team is obviously not satisfied. This is a story about "prejudice": when "what you want to be" and "what the world thinks you should be" conflict with each other, how do you resolve the conflict? You can go black like a sheep bleating deputy mayor; you can pretend to be heartless and cynical like a fox; but we want you to fight back against prejudice like a rabbit.
If "Invincible Destruction King" is also about prejudice, trying to be a bad character for a good person. Well, Zootopia takes it a step further: after we have truly overcome external resistance and succeeded, we ignore the effects of prejudice on ourselves. When Rabbit said at a press conference, "It may be the nature of predators to run wild," she also became part of the prejudice.
It often takes a deliberate effort to reduce prejudice against others, and people like rabbits who are always on the "right side" are more likely to ignore this. Saying "predators can go mad, but you're not like them" doesn't comfort your fox friend, it just exposes your sense of superiority. At this time, if there is no friend of the fox to leave, then the rabbit is likely to develop into a "prey interest alliance" together with the deputy mayor.
It takes enough motivation to eliminate prejudice. The driving force in the film comes from the friendship of the fox and the guilt of the rabbit, because her prejudice leads to unequal treatment of a group and destroys the fusion of "Zootopia" in the city. And the final speech of the rabbit is to complete the discussion of the theme of the film, that is, breaking prejudice starts with everyone.
Of course, in addition to this, you can also see other topics, such as: the struggle of young people in small towns in first-tier cities, how contemporary women survive in the male-dominated workplace, the stigma in bipartisan politics, and how human society is changing Civilized or alienated or "the first-in-command is at fault, but the second-in-command is the real mastermind behind the scenes" blabla...
Almost all of the supporting roles in the film are responsible for laughing, whether it is the front desk of the police station or the sloth of the DMV (I laughed for a long time in this part), or the gangster who pays tribute to the godfather, and the fox's cheating partner. Even the sheriff has stalks to laugh at, as well as complaints about his own "Frozen"; the only brilliant character in the whole film is probably Sister Zhiling dubbed by Shakira (this translation in the Taiwan version is funny), let's just understand it as yes Hollywood compliments itself when it comes to eliminating prejudice.
Finally, I want to ask, so the computer of the DMV is a resistive screen?

Frantic Pig: You, bunny!
Judy Hopps: Sir, if you have a grievance, you may contest your citation in traffic court.
Frantic Pig: What are you talking about? My shop! It was just robbed! Look! He's getting away! Well, are you a cop or not?
Judy Hopps: Oh, yes! Yes! Don't worry, sir! I've got this!
