There’s a lot of posts going around analyzing Zootopia,
trying to dissect and scrutinize the message. To help understand and analyze
the work, it’s important to understand the incredibly roundabout way the movie
came to be. The creators didn’t start
out saying “let’s make a socially minded movie about prejudice.”
It all started when the directors of Tangled, Byron Howard and
Nathan Greno, were pitching movie ideas to John Lasseter, the chief creative
officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation. As Howard (who would go on to direct the movie) explained
Nathan Greno and I, right after we finished “Tangled,” we pitched the
beginnings of what this movie became. We had about six ideas and the one
thing that almost all these ideas had in common… one was a space movie
and it was called “Pug, The Bounty Hunter” … One was called “The Island Of Dr. Meow,” which
was a sort of cheesy B movie version, like a Roger Korman film from the
1960, where teenagers went to this island and there was this six-foot
tall cat that was turning these people into animals. And, John saw that a
lot of these films had these anthropomorphic animals in common from
what I did with the others. And he said, “I will do anything to support a
film that features animals running in tiny clothing.”
However, while Lasseter wanted to build on Disney classics like Robin Hood and The Jungle Book, he added a caveat: they needed to make the movie different from any other “animal” movie that had gone before.
Sue Perkins, Mel Giedroyc, Mary Berry, and Paul Hollywood. I might be a little worried.
Houdini and Doyle.
I feel confident.
The Golden Girls. #ciner1013 was right, I should have been watching Daredevil
Love It or List It. I’m doomed, but my grave will be in a fantastic location with a gorgeous view, and the funeral service and luncheon after will be beautiful and elegant.
I last watched Daredevil. Thank god, I’m safe!
the magicians. i honestly don’t know if i’m going to be ok or not.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I’ll be rescued, but in the process three drug dealers, the Pontiac Bandit, and a corgi will make their getaways while a warehouse burns down and someone ends up wearing a bunny suit.
I caught two thirds of an episode of Metalocalypse. Damage will be extraordinary and I will likely die of burst eardrums, unless for some reason the accountant feels I ought to survive.
A friend of mine and I just binge-watched Fringe. The good news is, we’ll be fine. The bad news is, the collateral damage may exceed two universes.
