I'm still going to keep suggesting you guys react to the Cheetah Girls, but hearing you talk about how hardcore rabbits are, Stef, you should react to Watership Down.

@@greenprimalranger love the cheetah girls!!!

No apologies necessary, Budz. With everything that’s been happening, I’m hella impressed that you’ve managed to keep up with producing content for us at all. Mad respect. 🤘🏻

No worries, thanks so much for managing to upload in spite of the chaos!

You should watch the bad guys! It’s really similar to this and just recently came out

Bloody brilliant. Love that for them 😊 - Stef

It's a pretty contrived coincidence but nevertheless it shows one of the many benefits of keeping an open mind - you just might learn something.

i love the fact that side characters arent one dimentional. and with zootopia+ it only got better

I also like how it can be sexist thing too with Judy

Same here! Definitely one of the best animated movies that addressed it very well! Reminds me of when I grew up with movies like Balto, An American Tale, some of the earlier Land Before Time movies, etc.

Among other things

It actually took me s very long while into my first watch of this movie to realize that. May just be because Im autistic but I want to point out that other things explaining racism is not only ‘dumbed down’ but made a lot more overt. In those sorts of videos there’s almost always one victim, one or a few aggressors, maybe a few bystanders, and maybe a few friends of the victim. But it paints this right side wrong side narrative that often skips over how widespread it is and why it happens or the variety of the intentions behind it. In zootopia, like in real life, everyone is a little but racist and you can see how they got it. Judy’s parents don’t like foxes just as a rule that was likely passed down from her parents. The first time Judy sees a fox on the job she’s inherently suspicious, but when she tries to burry her prejudices she still micro-aggressions him (Idk how to verb that), not on purpose but because those prejudices are still there. Clawhouser calls her cute by accident, not knowing the implications or that it’s an insult. Later Nick does it on purpose to antagonize her. I feel like there are a lot of people who are more concerned about being thought of as racist than they are actually being racist or not, and I think it’s because of that black and white narrative, the dumbed down one that says racism is bad and racist people are bad people and good people are entirely not racist. Zootopia breaks that narrative and offers a much more realistic understanding of how our world works. Having racist thoughts, and to a certain extent, being racist, isn’t evil! A lot of that was put there by society through no fault of your own. What’s evil is purposefully instilling those same thoughts in the next generation, or blocking other’s attempts to break the cycle of hatred.

I didn't notice the racial allegory at all the first time I watched the movie and I was an adult. Not sure if some kids would notice it.

Yeah I love this fact about Emmett, and I wish the movie had just made the tiniest bit more of a point about it. I didn't connect the dots until a third or fourth watch. I think if we'd had the littlest bit more happenstance emphasis on his plant knowledge, it would have caused us more provocation to speculate about him having some relevant knowledge and would have pointed our suspicions toward someone using a plant. Actually now that I've said that, I'm so glad they DON'T push it more, I take it back -- the fact that it's so easy for the audience to just roll with "oh wow predators are going nuts, guess it must be some predator problem" is what teaches us that we're just as susceptible to bias as the characters are. In another mystery context I'd want the clue to be a little more clearly a clue, but in this film I think it's great that we're allowed to just practice a little prejudice for the sake of the moral in the end.

I never thought of that, but it makes sense! Floriat know the common name and usually the scientific name

oh wow, i never noticed this before... they should've made a bigger point about it cuz it's actually genius

Are they savage?

@@finnwhelan8442 they are rapist. female sea otters forcefully resist mating. So forcefully , that the males hold the female's head underwater to subdue her. Sometimes females drown. sea otters murder other animals even when they don't get food out of it, it's just for fun. they also rape baby seals

@@finnwhelan8442 they kill and rap* their own babies

@@finnwhelan8442 Male sea otters sometimes attack baby seals and attempt to mate with them, resulting in their deaths.

@@MsEverAfterings oh shit. That’s scary. I guess otters aren’t so cute after all.

Really ? I didn't notice that before

I saw it coming though. She seemed too sweet and nice and her last name was a dead give away as well.

There were definitely little clues along the way that she was more manipulative and in control than she seemed. I thought it was really well done!

Sneaky animator's played us like a damn fiddle 😆 - Stef

Even when Nick touches Bellwether's whool it's like people who touch Afro hair

@@a.g.demada5263 Exactly. That scene gave me flashbacks to my childhood. So many people would want to pet my curls without asking. I'm glad it's more of a known thing now to keep your hands to yourself.

@@ZariDV same for me who wore extensions

I kind of thought the same thing. And I figure Bellwether could be the same, as she is a dark mirror of what Judy could’ve become if her internalized prejudice had been allowed to fester. White women in particular (and I say this as a white woman) are in a position where they are both part of an oppressed group as well as a group of oppressors, and they can either use the privilege they do have to lift up other oppressed groups or push them further down. But like the guys were saying at the end, the neat thing about this movie is that any category of animal here could be an allegory for any group and it would work. Being a member of one minority group doesn’t automatically make someone exempt from being prejudiced themselves. Anyone has the potential to become what they don’t want to be.

I agree!! I imagine that Judy is a white woman whilst Nick is a black man - both can be oppressed whilst also being an oppressor

The fact that people DON’T pick up on this is so baffling to me. When I first watched the movie, it stood out so obviously and intentionally. The perks of being female I guess :’)

While misogyny is definitely also an aspect, I don't like the idea of you looking at this mo is very pointedly about racism and being like "actually let's look at this thing that I can relate too instead". Judy gives me Asian vibes, people tend to think of Asians as having certain career paths and staying in their lane, casual racism towards them is normalised, and even the cute thing where a lot of Asians, Japanese and non-japanese alike, don't like being called "kawaii" by non-asians. Nick I see as brown-Hispanic, personally cause as a black woman I can't see him as black. And also the sly nature to being a criminal seems to fit Hispanic stereotypes since we are usually seen as aggressively criminal.

@@LangkeeLongkee I didn't mean to diminish the fact that it is about racism at all, because it definitely is about racism, nor make it relatable for myself. I just thought to bring another point of view to the conversation, and an interpretation that I haven't seen brought up for this movie that could fit when seen through a different point of view. It is a movie about racism But it's interesting how it can portray other issues as well when looked at differently. Doesn't make the fact that it is mainly about racism any less important.

oh my god!! "but this time, the sheep was a real sheep all along."

It's almost funny how they /themselves/ attribute anti-racism to liberalism, apparently oblivious as to what that implies.

@@danielrebora1350 right like i feel like it's really weird that many conservatives believe that anti-racism is an inherently left wing idea, i feel as though it shouldn't even be something political, just a moral idea. though what do you expect from conservatives

I feel like we need to reevaluate the word "propaganda" - it's been thrown around too much lately. Like if you think of propaganda as promoting a specific point of view then any movie with a message is propaganda (essentially making all movies propaganda, because they all have some kind of message or agenda since the whole point of movies is to make you feel something right?).

It's a "bunny cop" movie. I see what you did there

@@lily-zv8vo politics is just a tool used by humans to make themselves more important than other humans

I think someone actually made up a fan comic as a sequel somewhat showing the inter-racial part of it when they come out to Judy's parents as being together.. The comic is somewhere here on KZfaq I think

@@Kyolover8 ah, it shouldn't surprise me, considering there was an insane amount of fanfiction and fanart about these two:") but i just hadn't seen anyone actively make this point. good to know!

I agree but i kinda shipped them, sorry im so basic i couldnt resist😖😭

@@LudmilaRamirez7 Lol that's okay 😂 I think the directors meant for that to happen with this movie. I just meant generally speaking, even if there's really no hint of romance, a boy and girl in a movie can't even look at each other without people practically naming their kids already (and it's fairly close to that if they're the same gender as well. Not every single character has to be gay). People have loving, platonic relationships. It's just that kind of thing, where people act like there's no other kind of relationship for people who aren't family, that gets on my nerves. As someone who really values friendship, I hate to see people treating it with so much disdain, like it's some horrible fate or something.

@@sh_joy i totally agree

@@LudmilaRamirez7 😊

I agree. I also understand how they could end up as a couple, but they seem just as compatible in terms of friendship so I'm glad the producers left it that way. You can definitely see in more recent animation movies especially those that are pixar and disney they prioritise friendship and family relationships just as much as romantic relationships which I appreciate.

Wow I watched this movie multiple times and never noticed or pat attention to that

Pretty sure the Flower shop is not really because of the fairies, but more because Flora is plants and Fauna is Animals.

@@Enchanteddy it could be both.

@@videohistory722 if it is then Disney would be narcissists

Thanks, but I don't read German.

what was it bout?

@@lorenapacora1526 Intercultural Marketing in the movie industry. Comparing the Marketing strategies for advertising this movie in the US vs in Germany. Also including how they changed the product itself and why they did it. 😌

although 2016 got me so divided having kubo, moana, zootopia and red turtle competing was TIGHT

yikes, the panda one -- and agreed. I always thought i looked very 'white' cause i'm half white and half hispanic, but i guess to others i clearly look hispanic or something else. It's odd how you can see yourself so differently. I am constantly asked what I am or people will speak to me in their language, assuming I am their ethnicity.

Damn. The panda one actually made my eye twitch. If I were you it would take every ounce of my strength not to hit someone who said that. I'm black and my other half is white. Neither of us is mixed and black and white couples are common but our combination is not. A black woman and a white man are still seen as an illegitimate couple. No one believes a white man and a black woman can actually love each other. To them, for a white man it's only sexual attraction and white men only fetishize us and don't really see us as people. And for black women, to them we only want to be with white men because we hate ourselves. Supposedly we think black people are ugly and bad and so we want to be with someone who doesn't look like us or whatever. Especially if the white guy happens to be rich, then obviously the black woman hates herself and is only with him for his money. It isn't fair. Children stare at us with confused looks on their faces and a lot of adults glare at us like they want us dead. Sometimes I am so scared. Why can black men be with white women and not deal with this nonsense? I feel sorry for our future children and what they will have to deal with. We will love and support them and do everything we can to protect them but I wish it didn't have to be that way.

The majority of me is white because my mom is portuguese descent and my dad is black besides his grandfather being white; so that's why I say the majority. Some people think I am asian (like Filipino mostly,) because there are a lot of them in our country; some others believe I am hispanic/latino, a couple thought Hawaiin (or Polynesian if that is the right term to use), another thought Indigenous; but there have been a lot of people to recognize that I am mixed, as well as people who thought I was just Portuguese. My boyfriend is black and I don't think we get any rude critism which is a relief. But were from Bermuda and I believe the majority is black, but there's portuguese people here who came from the Azores (including my family); there's also other caucasian ethicities here, as well as those from asian countries, some Indigenous, and a few of those from Hispanic/Latino countries as well. Although one thing I am confused about is that, you are called bermudian if you were born here, such as black, portuguese or other white ethnicities; but for some reason it is like asians or hispanic/latinos are not considered bermudian; I don't know if it is because they were not born here or not, but people always consider them as foreigners. It just confuses me. I don't really know the point I was trying to make, but I thought I should share my story.

@@xsweethearto Your story is beautiful. Me being black is obvious because as far as shades of brown go I'm definitely on the darker end because of my dad. So no one can question that I'm black but that is exactly why no one believes I'm also Native American. I'm Native American from my great-grandmother on my mother's side. Blackfoot Confederation is our tribe and we're also Irish. But no one can tell that because well look at me. And no one believes me when I say so.

@@truthseeker9249 Thank you! 🥰 Aww some people are ignorant, (if that's the right word to use). It is funny cause I forgot to mention that on my dad's side, I've heard several times that his ancestors are Indigenous also. My cousin on my dad's side is part Indigenous as well and she embraces it, and even participates in powows, (I believe that is how you spell it). Some say that could be the reason I look the way I look. Also I am sure you are beautiful; it is a shame darker skinned people get discriminated against even more; it is terrible. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment and reply to me. 🥰 Hope you have a great day/night! 😊

Haha, same here. I thought the build up was quite nice. First that show of vulnerability, and then later him calling her 'Judy', and then just the entire bridge moment, and then the wink, and finally the moment in the car and the end dance. I agree with them about wanting more solid platonic relationships, but gosh are these two too cute. And it's just such a sweet relationship. I love their characters so much. Zootpia is always a great rewatch for me.

@@isbammoi3358 when Judy asks Nick to be her partner on the police force, the way he looked at her made me feel like he was starting to fall for her. And that's why after her press conference interview he felt heartbroken when she went to use her fox repellent. I would be okay if they just stayed friends but I felt too much chemistry between them for it not to progress into something more.

@@natevanslyke990 haha, 100%. That scene broke my heart, it's just as tough to watch every time.

There is fanmade Zootopia sequel on KZfaq if you enjoy Judy and Nick together

@@gk2370 Oh you mean Return to Zootopia by Browntable? Yeah I may have watched that two or three times already. Its very impressive to see what he did by himself.

Not to mention what they do to those baby seals......made me not able to watch finding Dory without thinking about that.
