Hong Lyu #4


                The movie introduces Zootopia city through an elementary school Drama – it’s a great and peaceful place where all the animals can get along. The protagonist Judy- a cute female rabbit from Bunny Burrow, her dream is to be a police officer. Everyone laughs at her dream, and her parents even try to stop her. But she didn’t give up. She overcomes all the difficulties. Finally she was assigned to work in Zootopia, which is her dream city. She thought her dream will be complete in Zootopia, but the story was just begun. Judy thought she would be a successful police officer in this “perfect city”, but the fact is that no one regards her as a real police officer. In others opinion, the rabbits can only stay at the small village and farm the carrot. Everyone calls her the “cute little bunny”, “carrot” with dismissive tone. No one believes that a small rabbit can be the cop and solve the case. So she just got an unimpressive job to putting the tickets for illegal parking vehicles. But this is not what she want, it’s not enough for her only to be at Zootopia, her dream is to be a real cop. So she began to track the biggest case that reported to the police office. Finally she and her best partner, fox Nick, found out and caught the plotter behind this case- a sheep who is the vice mayor of Zootopia. Zootopia is an impressive and inspiring movie. In the real world, Rabbits gives people an impression of small and timid. But the police jobs need strength and courage-it’s hard to connect these two things together. But Judy becomes a successful police officer in this movie. Foxes are predator for rabbits and they should be enemy. But in this movie, fox Nick became the best friend with rabbit Judy and they even experienced death together. Also fox gives people an impression of sly and slippery, but Nick is a great partner of Judy, and finally he became an honest policeman. On the contrary, the meek and loyal sheep is the vicious plotter behind this big plot in Zootopia, which is a surprising reversal in this movie. Also the fearful gang leader Mr. Big is a small shrew… These oppositions are not only suggest the distinctive features of this crazy city where “anyone can be anything”, but also it’s a way to construct this great utopia world. What’s more, Zootopia represents the dream. When Judy tries to pursue her dream, she stuck there by the cruel reality and the director of police office even wants to take her badge. But she chooses to persist on her dream. Finally she gets the reorganization by the public through her own efforts. At the end of the movie, Judy said: “No matter what type of animal you are, I implore you to try, try to make the world a better place”, which encourages more people to pursue their “utopia” and to make a better world.
