It has been nearly a decade since Disney released the animated film Zootopia , a movie that surprised people not only because it was a smash hit at the box office but because it also evoked a label that Disney (as a larger corporation) struggles with: “woke.” You might remember that the first movie, released in 2016 and set in the titular city of anthropomorphic animals, follows the bunny Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), whose dreams of proving herself as Zootopia’s first bunny police officer are threatened when she teams up with a con-man fox, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), to uncover a far-reaching conspiracy. You might even better remember that the aforementioned conspiracy was basically an allegory for racial profiling— no, seriously —even if that allegory didn’t necessarily hold up if
Zootopia 2 is totally about colonialism.
