“Zootopia” is an animated Disney movie about a rookie rabbit police officer, Judy Hopps, who teams up with a sly fox, Nick Wilde, to solve a mystery in a city of anthropomorphic animals.

Basic premise

The story takes place in the modern animal metropolis of Zootopia, where predator and prey species live together in different themed neighborhoods like Sahara Square and Tundratown. Judy leaves her rural hometown to become the first rabbit police officer in this big city, trying to prove she belongs on the force despite others underestimating her.

Main plot

Judy is initially stuck writing parking tickets but seizes the chance to investigate a missing-animals case involving predators that have mysteriously gone “savage.” She blackmails or persuades con-artist fox Nick Wilde to help her, and together they uncover a larger conspiracy behind the attacks that threatens the city’s harmony.

Themes and message

The movie uses its animal world to explore prejudice, stereotypes, and fear- based politics, showing how assumptions about “predators” and “prey” can lead to discrimination. It emphasizes ideas of challenging bias, following your dreams even when others doubt you, and seeing individuals for who they are rather than what group they come from.
