Are the animated films shown in zootopia good? How about the animated film zootopia Film Review? The animated film "Zootopia" being broadcast can be said to have set off an upsurge in the near future, and there are many discussions about this film. For Disney, a high-quality animated film, there are many details and menus that we need to explore besides the main animation plot. Let's have a look.
Disney has never let people down. The title of this film, zootopia, is a combination of zoo and utopia, and it is more appropriate to translate it into animal utopia. However, this random title did not affect the quality of the film, and it gave a high score of 9.5 on Douban.
The details are impeccable, and the brain is wide open. You can find many stalks or eggs on movie posters, as well as carrot mobile phones in rabbits' hands.
The coffee in the giraffe's hand, spoofing Starbucks, the two-tailed mermaid was replaced by a goat.
Prada and Nike, by the way, Prada's spokesperson is Shakira, who is portrayed as a sheep in the movie.
It is said that Shakira was rejected when she first signed up for the choir when she was a child. The teacher said her voice trembled like a sheep. So let the production team shape her into a sheep.
There is also a stem of dnky, which is endorsed by a donkey.
The newscaster of the same scene showed different animal images in different countries.
For example, pandas are used in China, koalas in Australia, elk in Canada and civet cats in Japan.
Equality is the main value of this film. In order to show equality, small animals have their own bodies, hippos walking on water have special air dryers, giraffes have special drinking fountains to buy drinks, hamsters have exclusive passages and so on.
The purpose of this film is not to subvert, but to eliminate prejudice. Many times, we are not bound by ourselves, but by external evaluations. There is no doubt that Zootopia is one of the best animated films this year. Maybe even the suffix "one" can be removed after a while. This is a children's fairy tale comedy and an adult moral film.
Everything is created by human will.

It was late at night when the film ended. The audience in the cinema didn't want to leave, sitting in the chair listening to the ending song "Try Everything" and shaking their heads with the super rhythm. I am immersed in the same atmosphere, constantly recalling the shock brought by the film. This film has the factors of successful animation in recent years: the comedy of Ice Age, the growth of How to Train Your Dragon and the cure of Hero 6. But Zootopia is so different. It makes children laugh, but it also makes adults think. In just two hours, the film not only reflects the reality with a complete world view, but also challenges the audience's ethics through the constantly reversed plot, completely subverting the traditional routines of Hollywood animation.
Zootopia is sure to make a lot of money at the box office by those interesting animals. But I'm more curious about what kind of controversy the connotation of this film will cause and whether this film will become a classic of contemporary culture. In my opinion, this film has at least three progressive connotations, which are worthy of attention when watching.
1. Animal Tuobang
Frankly speaking, Zootopia's translation is not the worst of all Hollywood movies. After all, there are some wonderful works in the translation field, such as "The Golden Escort", *** 1995, and "Food Story". However, Crazy Zoo obliterates the important information hidden in the English name "Zootopia". In English names, "zoo" means zoo, and "topia" is the root of "place" in Greek. This Greek root often appears in an English word: utopia, that is, "Utopia". Therefore, a more accurate translation of the film should be Animal Tuobang.
As a synonym of "ideal society", "utopia" originated from the book of the same name by Thomas Moore, a British scholar in the 6th century. In that book, Moore invented an island with a perfect social system, which not only abolished private ownership, but also achieved equality for all. Under the protection of the ideal system, the residents of the island fully enjoy their freedom. Poverty and sin in real society do not exist on this small island. Just when the British people were full of hope for the political man Moore, he was executed by his good friend Henry VIII.
After Moore's death, his ideal social idea survived. A group of social practitioners decided to establish their own utopia. British businessman robert owen established an experimental commune in the United States. However, this commune that abolished private ownership failed two years later. If we look at the economic foundation of the commune, its failure is not surprising. In two years, the commune has no substantial output, mainly relying on Owen's own property. This wealth was earned by Owen in a cotton mill in England. It can be said that the economic foundation of this commune is exactly what Utopia thought opposes: employment in factories, slavery in cotton fields and colonialism in international trade. The failure of the commune was inevitable from the beginning.
In the 20th century, "Utopia" revived as a counterattack against capital. The Soviet Union conducted a larger-scale social experiment at the national level, replacing the market economy with a planned economy. But it was also at the peak of the Soviet Union that dystopian thoughts rose. In George Orwell's Animal Farm, animals are also used to allegorize politics. The pig who led the revolution seized power. Therefore, the animal farm, which was originally moving towards the goal of equality, has developed into a new level. As predicted by Animal Farm, the administration of the Soviet Union became bureaucratic and the economy became rigid step by step. The Soviet Union finally disintegrated.
"Animal Tuobang" in Crazy Zoo is also an idealized city. All animals live together regardless of race, and each animal can be what it wants to be. However, with the deepening of the story, the audience will find that "animals support the country" is only a conceptual ideal, which is far from reality. Whether "animals supporting the country" is an encouraging "utopia" or an ironic "dystopia" is the first connotation that has been explored since the film name.
2. Adults like fairy tales
Crazy Zoo does not stop at the abstract concept of Utopia. From the beginning, the film was intended to allude to reality. On a typical bridge section, the rabbit is anxious to check the license plate number of the transportation bureau, but the clerks of the transportation bureau are lazy. When children see the simple and honest sloth on the screen, they laugh happily, but the faces of adult audience are all wry: the management process of procrastination in life may be worse than sloth. The species conflict in the film also corresponds to the current racial conflict in the United States. There are species prejudices everywhere in Animal City: rabbits are unfit to be policemen, foxes are liars, herbivores are weak and carnivores are cruel ... Similarly, there are serious racial prejudices in the United States, and Trump, as a presidential candidate, has made no secret of his racist attitude. It can be said that Crazy Zoo is a fable about reality.
Fables are called "adult fairy tales", and they often use metaphors to describe society and human nature. On the surface, China's classic The Journey to the West is a fairy tale, but inside it is also a fable. The Monkey King was independent and capable, dared to make a scene in heaven and overthrow the order of heaven, which was often regarded as a manifestation of rebellious spirit by later generations. Pig Bajie is not only lazy and timid, but also greedy for women, which symbolizes the weakness of human nature. The indirect metaphor of fable is like a small puzzle left for readers to play by themselves. As far as the purpose of satirizing reality is concerned, fable is more attractive to the audience, and its smiling irony effect is better than direct attack.
But as a fable, what Zootopia wants to oppose most is the common facial explanation in fables, such as the lion representing the ruler and the fox representing the cunning. With the development of the plot, the true character of animals always deviates from the corresponding traditional facial makeup. The timid rabbit should be brave and bloody, but the cunning fox should be kind and sincere. Small animals become gang bosses, but big animals are pony boys. The villain in the film is even more unexpected. Explaining reality with fables and opposing racism with anti-Facebook are the second meanings of this film.
3. Culture changes the world
At the end of the film, a concert was held in the quiet animal city. The superstar antelope sang "Try Everything" on the stage. This song is just in line with the theme explained by the voice-over in the movie: every animal has defects, but this should not be the gap between species. The only way to cross species differences is to try hard and not give up communication. Accompanied by music, different animals danced hand in hand under the stage. The iconic carnival atmosphere of Disney movies has finally reappeared in this one-night carnival. The director chose a cultural singer as the ultimate means to bridge the gap, which seems far-fetched, but there are precedents.
In the1960s, American society was divided by ethnic conflicts, feminist movements and the Vietnam War. Just when the public was confused about the future, John Lennon, the lead singer of the Beatles, directly intervened in the mainstream culture of the United States as a pacifist spokesman. His Give Peace a Chance is regarded as an anti-war hymn. More than one hundred thousand students gathered in Washington to sing loudly:
All we are talking about is giving peace a chance.
We say give peace a chance.
This anti-war movement brought great pressure to Nixon, which eventually led to the withdrawal of the United States from the battlefield in Vietnam. Lennon's song is undoubtedly the product of folk movement, but it in turn further promoted the anti-war movement and became a case of soft culture changing the hard world. Lennon's cultural power was gained through modern media. Zootopia's antelope is Lennon in the animation world, which represents the hope of animals to transcend species prejudice.
Similarly, Disney's intention to launch the legendary Zootopia in the US election year is not simple. Like the 1960s, the United States now faces a serious crisis of division. Terrorist attacks have alienated ethnic groups, and economic recession has led to attacks on foreign immigrants. Trump's arrogance in the general election even frightened ethnic minorities. Under such circumstances, Crazy Zoo took the concept of "racial integration" to the silver screen, just like a breeze in the filth. Whether Zootopia can become a cultural totem that changes the world is the third connotation that I expect to interpret in the future.
