Zootopia, the recent Disney movie that had accumulated $73.7 million during their opening weekend, has captured the hearts of kids and adults around the world. The movie is known for its funny scenes and the adorable relationship the two main characters share. Disney has been known for planting “easter eggs” in their movies, which are references to other movies or TV shows. DISNEY SEQUELS One of the more noticeable Easter eggs would be the bootlegged Disney sequels sold on the streets by Duke Weaselton, who happens to be an Easter egg himself by his name and by how the same actor voiced Duke of Weselton in Frozen. The knock-off zoologized DVDS are similar to actual Disney movie hits, such as Big Hero 6, Tangled, and Wreck-It Ralph, as well …show more content…
Chief Bogo tells Judy, “Life’s not like a cartoon musical where you sing a little song and dreams magically come true, so let it go!” Director Byron Howard stated, “Obviously, it was so funny to have Idris Elba read that line, because he did it with such relish. He really loved that.” MICKEY MOUSE Disney is also known for always including Mickey Mouse in each of their movies. In this movie, a stuffed animal Mickey Mouse pops up, tucked away in a passing stroller during one of the scenes that involved Nick’s schemes. MOVIE AND ACTOR REFERENCES Kristen Bell, who was the voice of Anna in Frozen, is known for her huge obsession of sloths. So, the directors decided to choose her to have a cameo role as the female sloth Priscilla. Another time would be during the time that Judy and Nick were investigating the lab, they meet two sheep who happened to be named Walter and Jesse, which are the names of the men in Breaking Bad. Another interesting fact about those who play the voices in Zootopia is that those are the voices of Judy Hopps and the Frantic Pig that comes out to yell at her about the robbery. Ginnifer Goodwin, who voices as Judy Hopps, plays Snow White in the hit TV series Once Upon A Time. Josh Dallas, who is voice of that pig, also happens to play Prince Charming in Once Upon A Time, and is also Goodwin’s real-life
Shrek began as an animated movie from DreamWorks Studios in 2001 based on a children’s book of the same name. It was a huge success, spawning three sequels, a spin-off, and the musical adaption reviewed here. The movie, about the eponymous ogre hired to rescue Princess Fiona by Lord Farquaad, is an irreverent take on traditional fairy tale conventions, and subverts many of the most common archetypes found in fairy tales. Though tongue-in-cheek and at times slightly crude, the themes of reserving judgment and the value of friendship are distinct throughout.
SpongeBob SquarePants should be the archetype for synergistic corporate product placement. With SpongeBob’s insurgence into popular culture, there have been similar synergistic trends of product placement. Support for this notion is found through looking back to 2004, days before the premier of the SpongeBob SquarePants movie in New York. Paramount, another Viacom subsidiary, launched a brand new SpongeBob SquarePants amusement park theme ride to coincide with the movie launch. Additionally, Burger King (also owned by Viacom), released a SpongeBob SquarePants value meal that comes with SpongeBob SquarePants plastic figurines from the movie – ‘collect all 42.’ Nickelodeon, the Viacom subsidiary that operates SpongeBob must not be ignored. Nickelodeon aired a 24-hour SpongeBob SquarePants Marathon that hyped up kids for the movie and forced unsuspecting parents to shell out $12 a ticket. Furthermore, during the Marathon’s commercial breaks, SpongeBob advised the viewers to eat SpongeBob value meals, collect all 67 figurines, and go to Paramount Theme Parks to try his new ride.
Both Dumbo and Peter Pan make regular appearances in the Disney franchise today. For example, Dumbo is undergoing a remake due to premiere in 2019 and still has merchandise and rides dedicated to it in Disney Parks. In
Have you ever thought you understood something? Until you dig a little deeper and realize something has always been there right in front of your face and never realized it? Like little inside jokes and playing tri blue from where you started. I had a party in my backyard with a few close friends, singing to K-pop, or Korean music. My Korean friend proceeded to laugh when someone was trying to sing a song lyric in Korean, or at least her version of the song. The translation to what my friend was singing was “Cats and almonds and I’m going to eat your face, two very different lines then the song lyrics themselves. Our new inside joke is “Cats and Almonds” However in cinema and amusement parks, we call these ‘inside jokes’ “easter eggs”. Whether they were created because of a challenge, or simply a memorial to remember where the creators started from, these inside jokes can be found everywhere in Disney. First, we will be revealing the easter eggs important to the people behind the magic. Second, we will find the secret meaning of the, oh I can’t find it... hidden mickeys and finally the movie connection easter eggs that have sparked many Disney theories.

I experience inattentional blindness when I watch movies. It isn’t until after I hear from a friend of some online message board that I’ve missed something. When I watch Disney movies with my niece I found that they are notorious for paying homage to past movies into newer ones. For instance I recently watched “Big Hero Six” and there were a lot of hid characters from the movie “Frozen” such as the villainous Hans on Wanted Poster on a bulletin board in a police station or marvel matriarch Stan Lee who made an animated cameo appearance into movie that centered around being a hero, ironically. Ever since I found out I found out that I was missing the originality of the movies from a creative standpoint, however now that I know hidden Easter

Julie Taymor's wonderful philosophy of dual meanings really makes this a great family musical.

To be told one cannot do something because they are the wrong gender or race should not be an issue in today’s world. However, this rather unfortunate problem is very prevalent in modern society, so much in fact, that Disney created an animated film based on the subject. In their 2016 film, Zootopia, Disney addressed this issue in the form of an allegory of a rabbit pursuing her dream career: becoming a police officer. The issue with the main character, Judy Hopps’s, dream, is she not considered the right species to be a police officer. Sharing a world with other, way larger mammals, such as bears, wolves, elephants and buffalos, many people repeatedly tell Judy she is too small or cute to become an officer. The film also offers a second character, Nick Wilde, a fox, whose story shows the difficulty of growing up under negative labels based on his species, just as many people grow up under labels based on their race.
Additionally, the other characters in Zootopia such as “Chief Bogo: head of the Zootopia Police Department, Mayor Lionheart: the noble leader of Zootopia, and Assistant Mayor Bellwether: a sweet sheep… who constantly finds herself under foot of the larger-than-life Mayor Lionheart” (“Walt Disney,” n.d.) are all alike to humans. Officer Clawhauser: the chubby and charming cheetah who loves to eat donuts, Finnick: a fennec fox who is the partner in crime of Nick Wilde, and Flash: “the fastest sloth working at the DMV - the Department of Mammal Vehicles” (“Walt Disney,” n.d.) also contribute in the same way to Zootopia’s theme of animals behaving like humans. Chief Bogo serves as a barrier to Judy Hopps’ dreams in the first part of the movie,
When it comes to escapism and excitement, you simply can’t beat a good movie, which is why the Hollywood movie industry is currently worth billions upon billions. Each and every single day, millions of people from all corners of the globe, settle down in front of their TVs, or movie screens, to enjoy their favourite movies. As far as popular genres go however, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more popular and lucrative genre than movies aimed at children. If you’ve got a little would-be film critic in the making, here’s a look at just a few of the most popular children’s movies of all time, that can be enjoyed, not only by children, but by adults as well.
“Knowledge of methods alone will not suffice; there must be the desire, the will to employ them” (Dewey, 1933, p. 29). According to McCroskey (1997), “WTC refers to the probability of engaging in communication when the opportunity is given” (p. 129). MacIntyre and Gardner (1994) identify two forms of anxiety: general anxiety and communicative anxiety.
The film Zootopia, written and directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, follows the life of a small, yet spirited rabbit as she endures the trials angst of pursuing a profession as a big- city police officer. The city of Zootopia is a lively, thriving metropolis where Judy Hopps, the story’s protagonist, bravely embarks on her dream of pursuing a career in law enforcement. The writers employ a buoyant, kid-friendly storyline to comment on a myriad of social injustices and inequalities abounding in modern-day society. Feminist literary criticism utilizes feminist ethic and ideology to analyze the way in which male supremacy permeates the language and themes ingrained within literature. It allows readers to observe literature from a renewed, unorthodox perspective, and therefore extends the spectrum of accepted ideas and convictions. Zootopia is wrought with commentary on the pervasive presence of female oppression in the workforce. Oft beleaguered Judy Hopps combats disrespect and prejudice from her colleagues, condescension from her family and community, and gender bigotry that requires her to continuously prove herself as both a legitimate and qualified officer.

Do you believe that fate is real, or do you just believe that everything you do is by choice? Whatever you might think, I, for one, believe that fate can be real. If you read this tragic play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare, maybe you can see and understand why Macbeth had a downfall from his reign. Even though there are some choices he made to help him with his downfall, that couldn’t mean that there was something controlling him, that Macbeth couldn’t escape from? Macbeth had some pretty intense choices to make to help increase the rate of his downfall, but was it all because of choices like becoming king, or fate to have a Thane of Cawdor and a downfall?
