We’re excited to share with…

Perhaps my biggest issue with Zootopia was that despite focusing on issues of racism and prejudice, I always felt like it only did so in a superficial and barebones way. And this issue became harder to ignore after watching Nimona.

The racism within the world of Zootopia is less of a formidable obstacle and more just a mere hurdle on the track that just quickly jumped over. The biggest example of this problem is with the film's "main antagonist," Mayor Bellwether. Aside from being a crappy twist villain, we never see the effects she has had while she was in power, effects such as policies, laws, or other systemic powers she could've wielded to malign and oppress the predators of Zootopia.

But the way Nimona tackles the subject of prejudice just completely puts Zootopia to shame. For Nimona (the character), the malice she experiences is not some mere bump in the road, it's a suffocating presence that surrounds her on every side, one that she has to endure on a constant basis. Whereas the supremacism in Zootopia was this mere stomachache that fades as soon as it appears, in Nimona, it's this all-consuming cancer that infects every corner of society from government to law enforcement, to goshdarn cereal ads. And not only that but this culture of supremacism is also accepted by almost everyone in said society, much of the time without them even asking themselves why they're accepting it.

Many have argued that you shouldn't go too hard on Zootopia's social commentary because "it's only a kid's movie," but after seeing Nimona tackle the same subject with far more depth and nuance, I can't help but ask: "what's Zootopia's excuse?"

Racism Alagory in Kids Films

Has anyone noticed a pattern when it comes to films aimed at kids with a racism alagory? They always have one of these three things.

1. The oppressors have a good reason to fear the oppressed.

Zootopia, Elemental, and Z.O.M.B.I.E.S have done this. I love these films, but that doesn't mean I can't point out this fact.

In Elemental, the other elements have a good reason to fear fire. They can accidentally burn things and / or kill other elements. Ember proves this over and over again throughout the film. She even kills Wayde at the end of the film on accident. The movie is a cute love story, I love it, but the racism alagory just didn't work out well.

Z.O.M.B.I.Es, Zombies eat human brains. That's a good reason to fear them and keep them separated from humans. Instead of trying to let zombies into human society, why not find a cure first?

In Zootopia, the prey has a good reason to fear predators. They have a history of killing them and being naturally savage. Which isn't the best way to explain racism to children. Because if you humanize the characters, the racism alagory suddenly doesn't work. You can't call non white people naturally violent because that's not true. But many people have used that as an excuse to keep themselves away from non whites.

In summery, racism never happened because the oppressed were a danger to the opressers.

2. White savior.

When one of the opressers is the one that saves the day. The best example is Z.O.M.B.I.Es. Adi is a human, the ones who are the opressers. Yet, she's the one that saves the opressed in all 3 films. And this is shown the most in the 2nd film. Where it's her destiny to save the werewolves and bring them back onto their land. The same land the humans stole from the werewolves.

I like Z.O.M.B.I.Es as a guilty pleasure, by the way. Maybe it's the music, I don't know.

3. The oppressed are a different species than the opressers.

My best example for this is Cats Don't Dance. But that's all I'll say about it. Because I absolutely love Cats Don't Dance. It has no white savior and the animals aren't a threat to the humans.

For those that haven't seen the film, it's a great musical that talks about how animals are treated in Hollywood. They are never given the chance to shine, they are never in the spot light, and humans only use them as extras and to make money. Same way people of color were treated in Hollywood years ago. Still treated like that in today's time.

I use to considered Cats Don't Dance as the best racism alagory kids film. Until a certain movie came out in 2020. A movie that I feel handled racism better than any other film aimed at kids. A film that avoids all three things I listed and gets the point across clearly for children and adults to understand.

I am not joking. This film is by far the best kids film with a racism alagory. I would say why right now, but this post is getting too long. I'll explain in another post; Because let me just say, I can write a college essay as to why this film is the best kids film with a racism alagory.

I only included films from the Walt Disney Animation Studios line-up.

I have a friend who suggested that Moana ends the Revival Era, and it's too early to call the name of our current era, so the sake of argument, we'll leave it at that and do the last 5 years of Disney animation on another day, mkay? 👀

Disney Film Era Poll Results: Experimental Age (2000-2008) | Renaissance (1989-1999) | Bronze Age (1970-1988) | Silver Age (1950-1967) | Package/Wartime Era (1943-1949) | Golden Age (1937-1942)

When you buy or stream Hamilton, Blindspotting, Snowpiercer, Trolls, Soul, Little Mermaid, Zootopia, Wonder, Central Park, Extrapolations, The Starling, Fraggle Rock, The Crossover, you're giving money to zionists. Daveed Diggs thinks occupation is quite beautiful.

Rewatching Zootopia and I swear 90% of the reason Nick wants to be a cop is so he can wear cool sunglasses and drink coffee and make it his job 😂
