As the much-awaited Zootopia sequel is coming up, it is high time to revisit the original 2016 movie and update yourself on its characters, building, and further topics. Zootopia was not simply an animated adventure, but something with social commentary, some clever Easter eggs, emotional storylines, and a very lively city that has a bunch of details which are exciting to find out in a second (or even tenth) watching. This listicle decomposes 10 main things to rewatch to be reunited with Judy, Nick, and the unbelievable mammal metropolis. Based on oblique allusions, thematic excerpts, and critical hints, these highlights will assist you in moving backward into Zootopia, ready to know what is coming next.
1. Return to the Key Ideas of Prejudice and Bias
The core of Zootopia is that appearances are misleading. Re-watch the scenes that highlight the predator-prey interests, stereotypes, and how Judy struggles to show that she can be in law enforcement. These are some of the themes that would probably be developed in the sequel.
2. Follow the developing intimacy of Track Judy and Nick
One of the strongest aspects of this movie is the process of mistrust to trust each other. See how they collide at the beginning, with their banter, and how they gradually emerge as a force to reckon with.
3. Search Easter Eggs and Hidden References
Zootopia is full of secrets:
- The parody of Breaking Bad in the alley.
- The comic bootlegs of Duke Weaselton.
- People nodding in the coronation of Elsa.
- The two girl elephants in Frozen dresses.
4. World-Building in the City of Zootopia
The city is designed to accommodate species of every size, including the Tundratown and the Sahara Square. Re-watch the way each ecosystem mirrors its inhabitants and predicts the possible sequel locations.
5. Immerse Leader Development
Such characters as Judy and Nick develop so much during the movie. Listening to their fears, their insecurities, and their emotional revelations will help them appreciate their next arc.
6. Rework the mystery of the so-called savage mammals
This was the plot line that propelled the whole story. Pay attention to hints, early indications, and symbolism of the fact that the mammals become violent – it can be related to the new conflict in the sequel.
7. Like the Odd Supporting Characters
These side characters make everything beautiful and humorous, as the sloths of the DMV did, and the smiling face of Flash did. Their humorous beats could be repeated or affect their subsequent encounters.
8. Pay closer attention to the Soundtrack
The significant role in the emotional sense is played by music. Refresh the score and more particularly the song by Shakira, Try Everything, which influenced the character of Judy. As Shakira, Ed Sheeran, and Blake Slatkin all have new songs to release, your ears will be glad to be refreshed.
9. Envy the Visual and Animation Effect
Pay attention to fur detailing, background effects, and intelligent species-specific design touches. This artistry will make the animation of the sequel even better when one appreciates it.
10. The Ending should be watched again to see the Setup
The last scene depicts Judy and Nick as partners in the ZPD. The new relationship they have formed preconditions the following chapter- and perhaps also hints at the point of departure of the sequel.
