What is Zootopia about?
Zootopia is a Disney animated film blending comedy, adventure, and mystery in a world inhabited entirely by animals. The story follows Judy Hopps, a rabbit who dreams of becoming the first police officer of her species in the city of Zootopia, where predators and prey coexist in apparent harmony. Despite skepticism from larger and stronger colleagues, Judy succeeds in joining the police force.
Her first major case begins when a series of mysterious disappearances affect several predator citizens. To solve the case, Judy teams up with Nick Wilde, a clever fox and con artist. Though their personalities clash at first, they become an unexpected duo. Together, they uncover a conspiracy threatening Zootopia’s peace.
The film tackles deep themes like prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination, using the predator-prey conflict as a metaphor for real-world social tensions. With colorful animation, lovable characters, and a powerful message, the movie offers fun for the whole family and a subtle yet effective social critique, making it one of the most notable animated films of the past decade.
Where can I watch Zootopia?
The animated film is available on the Disney+ streaming platform.
