Zootopia
So I went and saw Zootopia this week, and firstly, it was quite good. Maybe not as hilarious as people say it is, but a good solid show. However, due to the influence of my media class, I couldn't help noticing a few things, like the fact that the female animals were sexualized! The main rabbit character has an hourglass figure and a bulletproof bra essentially instead of a fully-covering vest, and the pop figure that is woven throughout the movie is wearing a sparkly pink fringe bra and miniskirt set with curled hair covering half her face, she also swings her hips a lot. It drove me a little crazy. Still a good movie, but I was annoyed at the messages that young girls are getting even in movies with animal characters that you need to have a certain body type.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have totally found myself doing the same thing with other movies. It is interesting to see just how much genders are stereotyped. No wonder young girls believe they have to look a certain way.
ReplyDeleteI have done that a lot too with other movies and shows that I have watched lately! It is definitely something good to be aware of and acknowledge.
ReplyDeleteI agree they definitely worked that into this movie as well and it was a little frustrating that even a cartoon Disney movie can't step away from that. There were also many political agendas it seemed like as well haha but ya I enjoyed it as well.
