The analysis of the reflections of society in Zootopia Zootopia is one of many of Disney and Pixar’s most celebrated productions. The animated film is the sixth highest-grossing animated movies of all time. Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals the movies protagonist is a young rabbit named Judy Hopps who comes from a small town with the dreams of becoming a police officer. When coming of age, Judy leaves her hometown to pursue her dream by going to live in Zootopia a city where anyone can become anything they want to be.

Nick tells Judy that is prejudice and a false accusation. Judy finds Nick’s outrage confusing and tells him not to be offended and that he is “one of the good ones.

Nick and Judy's conversation about predator savagery is another example of racism the movie is trying to convey. By Hopps stating that he is one of the good ones, she is confirming the idea that predators are all the same and cannot evolve.

Later, Hopps and Wilde discover that it is not the nature of the predators that were lashing out and that is was Bellwether injecting them the toxins to make them seem like they had gone savage. She gets arrested, and Judy becomes a member of the ZPD with Nick as her partner.
