Zootopia’s production is really intriguing. >studied animals in the wild for eight months to study their walk cycles >contacted Ford for designing the animals' cars >contacted Americans with Disabilities Act specialists to help develop a city with a population of a wide variety of heights and body shapes >contacted HVAC for figuring out how to develop different climate areas for the animals >literally put fur under a microscope so they could be accurate
I mean, god fucking damn. I don’t think Zootopia gets enough credit for how much effort was put in to crafting the world
If only you posted this in our three days old Zootopia thread before it died.
Hudson Torres
Yeah, all wasted in an average movie with a preachy message about racism that basically EVERYONE knows already.
Aiden Jenkins
>it’s just racism durr Its more nuanced than you think it is
Jace Bailey
Just go read beastars
Caleb King
I think, while good, a lot of effort in those respects comes off wasted. The system of Zootopia isn't entirely well explained, which I wouldn't expect so out of a childrens movie, and alot of these interesting elements they surveyed were neglected.
I would say the message is applicable to groupthink moreso than racism directly. The idea of the individual getting lost in their culture and falling into norms, but instead breaking out of that. Sure you can see it as a message about racism, but it could apply to even someone who doesn't follow ambition due to family sector or, the dichotomy of society or those around you.
Even as a message of racism it's still not typical as it falls towards those who feel their victims or not in power, ultimately pushing back against those who are in power with falsehoods.

>>contacted Americans with Disabilities Act specialists to help develop a city with a population of a wide variety of heights and body shapes Huh, I didn't even think of that. I just assumed they came up with the varying height differences on their own, but that's actually really smart.

I know that practical joke and I read that the divorce afterwards was absolutely worth it.

Why go through that much time studying walk cycles when it's almost always standing on 2 legs like a human in the movie?
Ayden Russell
that's the point, dude
figuring out how they walk on 2 legs, but as real animals. Different animals have different types of walks.
Asher Perez
To get stuff like this

i really liked the previous story.
would be too heavy for kids though.

This is actually pretty standard stuff for Disney, believe it or not.
>Though animators and storyboard artists at Disney Animation Studios thought the collar would be a key plot point in the world of Zootopia, those select few at Pixar that they showed it to didn't enjoy the movie at all. They pointed out that, instead, the staff at Disney Animation could get rid of the collars and put stereotyping/subtler discrimination against predators in their place. >select few >SELECT FEW >(((SELECT FEW)))
Jack Thomas
took them two years to realize watching movie about dystopia would an unpleasant experience
But what else you can expect from people who teach their children to be ashamed of their own race ?
Ethan James
I feel that they could have had Judy save Morris during the chase scene and still gotten what they needed out of the mob characters without the implication that Judy brushed aside her morality when it was convenient.
thank you very much i enjoyed this but that does not answer what the hell was going on in those four posts
Michael Diaz
If you want, there's this fanwebcomic called zistopia that runs on the idea. It's on indefinite hiatus though.
Jaxson Torres
I want to put trex arms on that cat.
Jason Davis
The fuck are you on about, that is an active and happy looking cat. Reminds me of the time I saw a woman with no legs at a rave; she was definitely not sad.
Christopher Flores
I havent looked at that comic in over a year - its still going?
Dominic Turner
it's mostly paid vacation for the animators, especially the furry fandom animators. pixar and some of the theme park designers do similar stuff. it's mostly for a paid vacation, a team bonding exercise, and to build company morale.
it was just more of a ripoff of the fish police comic (a comic owned by disney after their purchase of marvel)
Mason Ortiz
> indefinite hiatus No. Also main site got shut down so if you want to read it, you need to go to their tumblr and chrono tag zistopia-au.
Brayden Gray
Anyone else been reading Beastars to get their Zootopia fix?
Angel Sanchez
Dang. I probably wont be doing that but Zistopia was like the first fanwork I read after getting into Zootopia (so I guess I have a bit of nostalgia thinking about it). Kind of sad how its all panned out, but I guess it was inevitable.
Matthew Edwards
it's a BEAR-MITZVAH

aw shit i forgot the carlos pic
Noah Fisher
If you had billions and nothing else to do, you'd do it too.
Gabriel Lopez
that is the cutest damn thing ive seen all day. need that. thanks, user.
Brayden Morales
Nah, it's a movie about being born with a disadvantage, yet achieving an impossible dream despite of it. RAYSIZM was added on top of that, and it's not as badly integrated as Sup Forums would want you to believe.
Christian Roberts
Allegory and coding are not the same thing.
The differences between predator and prey in the film may portray similar relations to what we see in the real world when it comes to racial politics, but they're not an allegory for that; it is simply you, a person of the real world, reading the movie like that.
The movie deals with a kind of racism, but it is not meant to be an allegory, nor even a message about real world racism.
The whole ending with a sheep being behind everything in fact really destroys any kind of accusation that the movie is being "generically preachy" about race.
Camden Campbell
I always feel like garbage when cats are mistreated or suffer in anyway.
Owen Morris
Essentially every Disney movie goes through a period during production when the animation team intensely studies every aspect of the world they're trying to create. This probably wastes a ton of money to create details that only obsessives notice, but seeing as the Disney fandom is made up entirely of obsessives it's probably a reflection of the people who choose to work at Disney.
Austin Hernandez
That wasn't the problem. The problem was that Zootopia was such a shithole and the ruling class so evil that any ending short of blowing it up was disappointing. Audience didn't want to see Zootopia reform and treat predators better, they wanted it gone.
Alexander Bell
But it's just like how in real life the jews make whites and blacks hate eachother (meek little sheep controlling everyone)
Andrew Robinson
Unknowingly, to boot.
Matthew Miller
Sheep are a terrible metaphor for Jews. Their common personifications don't match Jewish stereotypes nor do their real world group dynamics and behaviors. Nick is a far better analogue for a Jew than Belleweather.
>not knowing the Jews control everything
Adam Campbell
Jews control you, right now.
Aaron James
>I don’t think Zootopia gets enough credit for how much effort was put in to crafting the world Literally none of it is used in any meaningful way in the film. Once that initial Zootopia introduction sequence is over you never really get to appreciate any of that stuff.
Leo Phillips
Its a huge shame. I say it every time this movie comes up but I just want to explore the city. Every region had a super detailed design but we just see a tiny amount of it.
