Zootopia- 6/10

Not very fun. Sloth scene was hilarious but I felt it forgot about being a good movie and spent more time beating you over the head with its political messages. Pixar films like Wall-E, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Up etc. present touching and resonant messages without making things too political. I agree with some of the messages but the line where she gets called cute and she says “it’s ok for other bunnies to call me cute but not you” (something along those lines) goes too far. I think that’s actually a genuinely bad things to teach kids. Not very fun. My mother and I were so excited for this but it overall was dissapointing.

Thought that line was a pretty funny joke.

It’s sad that nowadays a movie with a message about being nice to others and treating people who are different with respect is seen as political.

And I don’t really get what you mean about “forgot about being a good movie.” It created a fun and complex world with interesting characters. The story was engaging, well structured, and with significant thematic depth. The dialogue and humor was clever and the actors were at the top of their game. It’s not my favorite movie but the makers certainly remembered to make sure it had all the things a “good movie” needs.

  "...It created a fun...." I agree with all of that and I might have enjoyed it more than you DURING my first viewing. I try not to let careful analysis spoil the first viewing for me.

  SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

  The movie is not about "...treating people who are different with respect....", it's about viciously HATING anyone who DARES to recognize that a predator is a predator. And, also, it's about the prey trying EVERYTHING.

There are three types of PEOPLE in the world, There are sheep, wolves, and sheep dogs(pathetically few in number). Like TOMORROWLAND, ZOOTOPIA posits a PREDATOR's idea of utopia where all sheepdogs are liquidated and the surviving prey are programmed to believe that the greatest possible evil is anyone who might DARE to harbor the least doubt about their predators.

Like TOMORROWLAND, ZOOTOPIA is a VERY impressive work of mass-psychology programming.

This is the definition of crazy.

Hell I’ll say it. I hate Islam. I hate Christianity. I hate Judaism. I hate religion.

That being said, some of my best friends are Muslim, Christian, and Jewish. I do not judge a person based on their religion, rather on their actions, but especially where those actions are (good or bad) fueled by religion.

I guess hating religion in general is OK. I may be under that category.

Some of us don’t hate you (as in Christians) just the Religion itself so that is in no way bigotry. You need to relax.

Exactly.

Do you hate Islam too?

I’m just curious.

I did not consider that. I rescind my opinion.

You don’t have to rescind your opinion. I was just asking if you hated Christianity specifically or also Islam.

I do have to rescind my opinion, since having that opinion would be bigoted and hateful.
