Definitely Zootopia will be remembered as one of the greatest Disney animation films. It is about prejudice and discrimination. It is about inner darkness and weakness that everyone has. It is about fight against pressure which makes you become the thing that the society or community wants you to be and that you never want to be. It is not about pure, simple dreams-come-true story. It is about "an inconvenient truth" of the world. Yet it is full of amazing images of attractive animals and landscapes. It is full of jokes, sometimes too risky and edgy for a Disney movie. It is full of thrill and adventure, feeling like you are watching Indiana Jones or Godfather. And for the most part, you cannot help falling in love with these cute animals.
Above all I strongly feel and appreciate that the splendid film is about the beauty of diversity. Given a world where rabbits and lions can live together without one chasing the other, it should be due to a highly balanced understanding and wisdom. Humans are in the same species but we are different. We may be like a rabbit, a lion, a fox, a mouse, a wolf, a giraffe, or a sheep. We may be able to create and live in our Zootopia, if we can make it to become as wise, autonomous and inventive as these animals.
