Say no to racial stereotyping of weasels
Snuck out of work to catch a matinee performance of Zootopia today, Disney’s latest kids flick. It was purty and fun.
It tried to be a message flick, and the message was that predators and prey animals can live together in harmony if they overcome their prejudices. But the message was ruined by the fact that…no. They can’t. Really.
I doubt even eight-year-olds are buyin’ it.
Not quite as dumb as the one where dinosaurs were socialist environmentalists. What was that, Land Before Time? You could go nutty trying to analyze the messages in Disney flicks, most of which are charmingly dumb and harmless.
Anyway, we see above more of the typical Hollywood anti-mustelid prejudice.
