Zootopia Analysis

“Zoot Suit” is about a gang of boys that were in the wrong area at the wrong time. Henry, is the leader of the 36th gang. Which includes: Smiley, Rudy, Tommy, and Joey. To start it off, Henry got jumped by the downey gang while Della witnessed it. Della and Henry then left to get the rest of their gang to go back. They went to the party, but the Downey Gang had already left. The people that were still there thought they were the Downey Gang coming back to cause more trouble, so they attacked them right away. They were then convicted of the murder of Jose Diaz, who was there that night and got killed. Two lawyers named Alice and George, thought their trial was wrongfully convicted. So they went to battle for the boys named Smiley, Henry,Tommy and Joey. They wanted them to have justice because they knew they were not the ones who commited the crime. The judge was wrongfully accusing them because they wore zoot suits.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote during the postmodern literary period which breaks free from many ideas created in the modern period and describes the literature that follows World War two. This period is characterised with the technology becoming part of life,paradox,and fragmentation. Authors also hold true the idea that all stories have already been told and works of this era are new methods of telling them.(Klages np) These techniques are used throughout the short stories of Vonnegut’s “Welcome to the Monkey House” and influence can be seen due to his past in the military which may be seen through his storytelling.

A stereotypical teenager consists of always being moody, defiant, and never listening to a word their parents have to say. Dylan Mee was a stereotypical teenager. In the movie, We Bought a Zoo, Dylan Mee is a fourteen-year-old boy who has recently gone through a tremendous tragedy; the loss of his mother. With this loss, comes anger and sadness and with his hormones, comes defiance and irrational decisions. After becoming expelled from school, his father, Benjamin Mee believed that the best thing to do was to move out of the city; so, they did, to a property that contained a zoo. These changes have an enormous impact on Dylan’s psychosocial and cognitive development while in his adolescent stage.

We bought a zoo is a family movie where a family consisting of a dad and two children buy a home that is also a zoo. The youngest daughter, Rosie tries to make situations seem better by making people laugh. An example of her doing this is when Dylan, the older kid and the dad, Benjamin Mee get into a fight and Benjamin says “We still a 7 year old that believes in the easter bunny.” Rosie comes out after the fight and says “what about the easter bunny?” I thought this was a good movie so you should check it out if you have the chance, Rosie was definitely one of my favorite

Kendrick Lamar’s third studio album, “To Pimp a Butterfly,” sheds light on the struggle of achieving rich and fame and the trials that come with. Rolling Stone and Billboard praised the album awarding it the best album of 2015. The album depicts the difficulties of fame by putting the trials and tribulations on display; the inability for those to adjust to their new lifestyle and the potential temptations that creep in. “To Pimp a Butterfly” has been both a divisive and uniting factor in its emergence in popular culture.

Who would have thought that another Disney animation focused on the lives of animals would be such a hit? If you want to laugh, cry, be uplifted, and experience a myriad of emotions then Zootopia is the movie for you. Kids will love the cute animals depicted throughout the movie, as well as childish humor that kids will giggle hysterically at. Moreover, adults will not struggle with keeping their attention focused on the movie, like most “Kid” movies, because of the amazing artistry and captivating plot. An astounding feat that the film accomplished is the teaching opportunity it took to discuss, for all ages, real world issues that we struggle with around the world today.

Stories are often a reflection of reality. Unlike many animated films marketed towards children, Disney’s Zootopia contains more than its fair share of socio-political commentary. The timing of Zootopia’s release in 2016 illuminates the American paradox. The U.S. culture celebrates diversity of lifestyle and background within a shared American experience, but at the same time, the country is split with the discourse of hatred. The movie follows an ambitious young Judy Hopps whose goal in life is to become the first female bunny police officer. Placed on parking ticket patrol, Judy teams up with a con artist fox Nick Wilde to solve a missing animal mystery that has been plaguing the city of Zootopia. The divide between predator and prey is something the two protagonists Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde were forced to accept as a

The Zookeepers wife, directed by Niki Caro ( book written by Diane Ackerman) , is a true war story based on a historic event situated in Poland, 1939. This heartwarming plot revolves around two owners (Dr. Jan Zabinski and wife Antonina) of a local zoo which soon becomes the home of hundred of Jewish citizens hidden and withheld beneath Jan and Antonia´s home in World War 2.

but [he] shouted and… everyone was staring and [she] saw that [he] had wet [him]self… but [he] just [laid] on the floor and screamed and banged [his] and feet on the floor” (page 134). Subsequently Judy “cried and cried.. [she] couldn’t take it anymore” (page 134) so she left Ed and Christopher for another man, Roger Shears, as she thought “[Christopher] and [Ed] are better off” (page 136). Upon the reunion of Judy and Christopher it is uncovered that she is strong-willed and independent “he can stay as long as he need… that’s enough Roger” (page 245).

The teenage years are a very important time in our lives. It is the time when we try new things and figure out who we truly are through these experiences. Although it is a great time, it can also be frustrating. Sometimes we have trouble doing things because we may be the only one who believes in a certain belief, we may want to do something that our parents are strongly against. Although most of the time our parents know what’s best for us and they only tell us not to do some of the things we want because they’re looking out for us, sometimes they are wrong. As we get older, we learn what’s good at not good for ourselves. It’s one of the many things that happen when we start to grow up. This is seen in Alison Smith’s memoir Name All the Animals.

Kurt Vonnegut is known for his dark humor, wit, and imagination. He is consistently listed among the great American authors of the later twentieth century and his novel’s such as Cat’s Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five are considered modern classics. In this essay, I will focus on two of Vonnegut’s short stories “Welcome to the Monkey House” (1968) which takes place in a dystopian future where everyone is required to take pills that take all the pleasure out of sex and “Miss Temptation” (1959) which takes place in a small east coast town by looking at them through a feminist lense. Both stories come to the same ultimate conclusion that over-moralization of human

Following this, Benjamin Clawhouser got his first glimpse of Judy. Judy called to him, “Excuse me, down here... Hi.” Officer Clawhouser ran the front desk. He responded, “OM goodness they really just hired a bunny? I got to tell you, you're even cuter than I thought you would be.”

Judy battled against many forces that said she could not be a cop, even her own

On the surface, Zootopia might appear like a fun, silly Disney movie, but the film actually touches on powerful messages about stereotypes, prejudices, and power in today’s society, especially regarding racial relationships. Zootopia is a film about a world where prey and predators live together in supposed harmony. Judy Hopps, a bunny aspiring to become a police officer, faces resistance from other animals. Similarly, Nick Wilde, a con artist fox, faces social stereotypes that harm his self-image. These two characters work together to solve a missing mammal case, and end up discovering a darker secret: the mayor’s assistant, Bellwether, hatched a plot to turn predators into savages so that prey would finally get recognition in government. The prey, however, are the majority, making up ninety percent of Zootopia’s population, and the predators are the minority, making up ten percent of the population. (Zootopia) Throughout the movie, the viewers are exposed to the stereotypes and discrimination that the prey impose on the predators. Ultimately, this film is a message about the relationships between the dominant and minority groups. Through this prey-predator relationship, Zootopia reveals how the power of language and the dominant narrative results in both harmful stereotypes and unconscious biases.

Traditionally, animated films have been made for and consumed by children, with the plotlines and themes being relatively basic and forthright. However, recent years have seen the release of animated films that explore significantly more adult themes and thought provoking ideas. Perhaps the most confronting example of adult themes in an animated film is in 2016’s ‘Zootopia’. The film forces viewers to think about concepts such as racial segregation, nature vs. nurture and the debilitating effect of stereotyping. Although Zootopia features anthropomorphic animals, it is easy to draw a connection between the film’s prey vs. predator narrative and racial divide in our own society.
