My favorite thing about Zootopia is how it toys with our expectations of cute anthropomorphic animal characters like Judy and Nick. We enter the movie expecting soft, cuddly teddy bears like Judy and Nick to become best friends in the world. But as soon as we reach the second half of the movie, it turns around and shows us a dark allegory for real-world social issues, most particularly racial profiling and drug abuse, before going back to being a furry shipping story again once the true culprit is exposed and brought to justice.
