What Makes Zootopia SO GOOD?

  • Until I re-watched Zootopia recently, I never gave it enough credit for it's storytelling, writing, and character building. Jump in with me as I try and put into words why this movie is so dear to so many people.
    Also, Michael Giacchino is a genius. Change my mind.
    And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.
    -Genesis 1:24

    Something else that should be brought up - I feel like this movie is a master of "Chekhov's gun" principle. There are is just so much setup - payoff. From the rescueing of the little rodent from the giant donut, to the weasel, to the blueberries, the carrot pen - there's just a lot of things that get early eastablishments, and then get used again for a bigger purpoce later. I love that.

      It sucks that it couldn’t have been continued onto Bellwether, she has so little setup, so we don’t feel any of the payoff. But I definitely agree with you

      There are super subtle setups too. When Judy first sees Nick, he almost gets run over by the sheep Woolter and Jesse on a crime run, but her prejudice only allows her (and us) to see and be suspicious of Nick

    15:48 Well... Seeing, how Nick was refused to buy ice cream just because he's a fox... I suspect that it wasn't the only bad experience he ever had.

  • @Maniac742
    @Maniac742 3 месяца назад +4

    What most people miss about Zootopia is that the movie does just as much to confirm bias as it does to dispel it. Judy is immediately suspicious of Nick because he's a fox... well, no, that's not actually true. She NOTICES Nick because he's a fox, but Nick's shifty behavior is why she suspects him. And, in the end she was right. Nick was, in fact, shifty. Sure, Nick had a big sob story on why he was shifty, but Nick's a grown man. He's responsible for his own behaviors now. But the movie doesn't make light of any of these details. They're all present.

    On Bellweather: It is actually subtly hinted that she's the bad guy (a bellweather is the bell that some sheep are given to lead their flocks, representing her puppeting the public around like a flock of sheep, and all the reporters that question Judy are prey, suggesting that she might have paid them off, something that a predator wouldn't agree too), but I do think it's still too subtle.

    Okay. I don't expect to be taken seriously here since I'm an unapologetic Zootopia superfan with no patience/zero tolerance for critics, but as rebuttals to your points about what could've been done better:
    1. Some jokes are more subtle than others.
    2. The naturalist club - everyone has a vice.
    3. Nick confiding in Judy provided a parallel to her own experiences.
    4. The third act - being crushed by self-doubt is pretty much a trope in and of itself.
    *Oh, and regarding what you said about how Bellewether was revealed as the twist villain, The Devil's in the details.*

    14:52 I've also wondered about this. I don't see a way you could reconcile him being an honest family man while also frequenting a nudist club. Maybe you aren't supposed to. I mean, he does have ties with the mob after all.
    19:27 Also, I need everyone to appreciate this joke.

    17:06 Judy didn't become a cop to be famous or succesful, she wants to make the world a better place and with that speech she did the opposite. It is honorable to resign when you realise you are a menace to society. It shows her character. Nobody else shamed her but she had dignity and realised she didn't deserve the badge.

  • @jeremiahnoar7504
    @jeremiahnoar7504 10 месяцев назад +1

    11:10 interestingly enough, writers give Gideon (the only fox that Judy knows) an extremely inarticulate southern drawl. So in the context of the movie, it's actually not presumptuous on Judy to comment on Nicks articulation. I can see what the writers were trying to do but it didn't really work in the context that they set up.

    Yes.....I appreciate your review of this great movie. I just don't know why you had to go and spoil it and go off on a tangent (for reasons best known to yourself) to refer to a completely different film.....that of the excellent Turning Red - one of the best Pixar movies ever. Yes, all opinion is relative, but I feel RUclipsrs just love to diss Turning Red for cool points. Half the time they haven't even seen the movie or that much of it and seem to take a perverse delight in misrepresenting the plot. In my opinion, it's just ridiculously good and one of the most beautiful animated movies I have ever seen.

    No, no, no, you're completely right about the audience caring about specific characters over the world as a whole. The story world is a mere extension of the characters whose journey we follow. It's what make a movie like The Avengers more than a simple "save the world because it's the right thing to do" story. Think about the character of Jane Foster. She is essentially the reason Thor becomes an Avenger. When Loki threatens Planet Earth, he threatens Jane Foster and that's what get's Thor personally invested in saving Earth.
    Back to Zootopia, this movie may have had a weak twist villain in Mayor Bellwether, but it had a stellar antagonist in Nick Wilde.
