Research on the Narrative Art and Social Value of Zootopia in the Film and Television Animation ()
ABSTRACT
Zootopia is a 3D animation film produced by Walt Disney Pictures co-directed by Rich Moore, Byron
Howard and Jared Bush. Once it was on, it became popular in the global cinemas, and became
the typical film with high box-office receipts and good reputation in 2016. It was also very popular
on the streets and lanes. We can see its great artistic achievements. The film tells the story about a
city in the modern civilization world where only vegetarian and carnivorous animals of different
kinds live in peace. Judy, a young female rabbit in the town with feminine appearance fulfills her
dream of going to the big city to seek for dreams as a policewoman in her childhood. And then she
becomes the partner of Nick Wilde who does not look harmonious, and uncovers a major case in
the animal world. The story is simple and clear. Through a series of bizarre and hard growing experience,
she declares her success to “the animal world”. This paper studies the narrative art and
the social value of success of the Zootopia.
