Reaction Paper About Zootopia

1250 Words5 Pages

Byron Howard and Rich Moore’s 2016 film, Zootopia, got a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.1 on IMDb and was overall a great film. Although this film was an action-packed, adventure, crime film it appears to have different levels of complexity. The movie actually shows stereotyping, racism, judgement, and many more. “Don’t Judge a book by it’s cover.” “Looks can be deceiving.” Even though we have heard these phrases as a kid they never really stuck in our minds like they were meant to, but this movie shows that we should really be listening to them. Zootopia shows you that even a prey can be a predator because things are not always what they seem. The theme is shown right away in just the first few minutes of the film when Judy’s parents tell her that bunnies are not police officers and she should become a carrot farmer like them because it is safer. This is already unacceptable, parents are the people …show more content…

In the film’s case it means if you are a bunny all you can be is a bunny, the same if you were an elephant, fox, tiger, and etcetera. To real people it would be almost like saying if you are blonde you will never be smart, you cannot change the nature of you hair that will grow blonde, so that is all you can be and will ever be. You can dye your hair to change the color of your hair that you have but it will always grow back blonde, just like in the movie if you are a mouse wanting to be an elephant you can put on a suit which changes what they see but you cannot change that you are, in fact, a mouse. That in itself is a big

  • The Significance Of The Rabbit Motifs In The River King

    1164 Words  | 5 Pages

    In Hoffman’s The River King, the rabbit motif accentuates the idea that the passiveness of innocence corrupted in communities is a direct result of dominant figures holding power over the vulnerable individual. Gus and the Chalk House boys are a prime display of the relationship between dominant figures and the ones they take power over, and the torment of Gus and the rabbits portrays the innocence of the underclassmen being beaten down. The Chalk House boys are shown to be consistently injuring rabbits, and it’s seen as a very frequent and passive event for them—they exert their dominance by “suggest[ing] to the new boys that they look for one of the rabbits found in the meadows and the woods. These small, shy creatures were easily caught

    (Golding 181). These words were spoken by Jack right after the death of Piggy, and it shows that he didn’t care about Piggy’s life, he only cared about having power and living prosperously in his own ideals. Overall the Lord of the Flies is a novel that shows the savagery inside every person regardless of how civilized they seem to be. Whether people want to believe it or not they are selfish and are evil on the inside which is told by the Lord of the Flies in the book. This is truly shown by the conch and its ability to create meetings, give people the ability to speak, and the destruction of the

    The making of movies, or the concept of it, has been around since the beginning of the 18th century. The lens of the camera has captured some of the most beautiful things, but also the most prejudice. Stereotypes of races, ethnicities, and gender have always been around but were widely considered acceptable in the films of that era. Almost as long as there have been people filming, there have been people fighting for equality to be presented on the big screen. Danez Smith is one of these modern fighters in his free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood.”

    In "Ponies," the young girls who fail to conform to the rules of their society are transformed into ponies. This transformation strips them of their individuality and forces them into a life of submissiveness and obedience. The story states, "And that's why the ponies live in stables, to keep them from running away and being naughty, because if they were naughty they wouldn't get to have friends, just as if they were naughty when they were little girls" (Johnson). This quote emphasizes how conformity is enforced through punishment and isolation, denying the girls the chance to express their unique qualities. Similarly, in "Harrison Bergeron," those who possess exceptional abilities are handicapped to ensure equality.
