A good film and television work, especially a work that takes special care of the children's audience, is the most important point that allows the audience to get what they need. zootopia does it all. Children watched the funny adventures of cute little animals, teenagers saw the inspirational chicken soup and forbidden romance (mistakenly) of the tough and optimistic bunny to realize their dreams, and young people saw Breaking Bad, the tribute of the godfather and Macy’s , the mapping of Lehman Brothers, the middle-aged man sees a wry mockery of the ultra-inefficient traffic authority dmv. Then, in the silence of moistening things, this large-scale ideological and political education propaganda film in the United States has already reached you. Finally, there is only one thing that I want to promote, and that is the great harmony of the nation.


Starting from inside out, Hollywood animation has gradually moved away from being funny and cute, creating a fantastic fantasy and other dimension to provide relaxation and entertainment, and began to use the advantages of animation to express opinions and play its allegorical role to discuss issues. In the past two years, the United States has not been peaceful because of racial issues. The European refugee incident and the Muslim group have little impact on the United States. However, due to the repeated incidents of police shooting black people, demonstrations and protests have continued. The recent police officer Liang Peter incident has even made money silently. The Chinese-American groups who have stayed out of the incident are also involved in the issue of racial equality, and Oscar has just finished making oscar is so white. As a cartoon labelled as "appropriate for all ages", it has this kind of awareness and responsibility, and it has to admire its conscience when it comes to social inclusiveness of racial issues.


First of all, zootopia shows what a highly developed society should look like, a real ideal country: the strong compatibility created by advanced technology. The doors of the train are designed according to the size of the train, and there are also pipes for hippos and mice when leaving the station. The living area is designed to take into account the living habits of different animals, such as desert area, rain forest area and arctic area. No one will be bullied and discriminated against because of their small size, and special physical needs will be taken care of. In the end, the truth is also sincere: although our DNA and DNA are very different, it is an ancient thing. Although our living habits are very different, now civilization and technology allow us to live together in the same society. So, don't let stereotype define us, don't let fear separate us, this society is not perfect, and zootopia is not utopia, so we must strive to be inclusive and understanding.

Shu Lai is definitely the biggest highlight of the film, and the dmv staff really use two fingers. slow. slow. of. knock. Character. of. The carrot covered all the rabbit's peripherals, and the apple was replaced with a carrot-shaped iPhone. . . Technically, the picture is consistently excellent, the capture of many animal habits is very funny (wolf howl), and there are many great details. And the intention of the heart directly sent the film to the eighth division.
