Zootopia is about prejudice but you don't know how
7 years ago
In the movie all the animals (except Clawhausser) act with similar behaviors to their real world animal equivalents yet everyone treats them their stereotypes.
In Judy's case rabbits are often seen as timid but rabbits often are fearless in the face of impossible odds and do tend to harbor an instant prejudice against predators whether they're a threat or not. This is often why when rabbits are introduced to dogs the rabbit tends to go on the attack and literally try to kill what you'd think they would be running away from. People's pet dogs have been mauled to death by rabbits if the rabbit really cares about it. Otherwise a hasty retreat is their defeat option. Rabbits normally act this way if they feel like they have something to protect like the den where their babies are. Judy wants to be a police officer because she wants to help people and so her determination is not at all out of character.
Young foxes scrap with other children their age so the reason why one attacked Judy makes sense but Nick was probably the runt of the litter since he was too gentle when in the scouts and runts in foxes normally sit back and observe and use their knowledge to give them the edge in a pack. Him using the things he learned to his advantage is exactly what he would do but unfortunately in his case he learned not to trust or respect others because of the way he was treated and that's how he turned into a criminal. It makes perfect sense that the bully that picked on Judy as a child is working for the rabbit family. Foxes are by nature very timid and it would be easy for a rabbit who can be much more controlling to manipulate them, especially if the fox can't use their predator abilities in civilized society.
Duke you could say is acting very much like their stereotype but then again weasels are very athletic, very good at exploiting opportunities and rather impulsive. That means they are likely to be the kind of person who would wheel and deal the kinds of things taken off the back of a delivery truck. Now that doesn't incline towards evil though. The same kind of person could be any kind of dealer even without breaking the law or even being that devious.
Bellweather is the best example by far. Sheep are extremely social and use that social ability to control complex networks of friendships so the idea of them having a hidden scheme makes sense. They can in fact fight and fight rather well when they are not following the flock, especially the females, which is not what people expect. Males tend to be violent more frequently but females choose their battles wisely and go much further beyond where males would consider reasonable force. Bellweather being oppressed by the mayor she probably went to huge lengths to specifically attack him alone and the other predators are simply the means justified by the cause.
i know there's a lot more animals but this is already too long.
