The race wank from SJWs (I.E. outrage that the characters aren't depicted as being minorities) is ridiculous. There was no clear equivalent to what the characters were supposed to represent beyond the predators being minorities.

I agree with this. You could just as easily argue that Judy was "supposed" to represent POCs as she faced just as much, if a different kind of prejudice. And you had issues not only between predator/prey but type of animal too - foxes were stereotyped for being untrustworthy, weasles were seen as thieves... I forget the other examples given, but there was really no real world equivalent. I think anyone could identify with any character they wanted as all the characters seemed to be dealing with some kind of prejudice or stereotype (dumb bunny/sly fox, etc.).

Yeah but everyone's stereotyped in our world too. White people and Starbucks, Canadians and hockey, etc.

[fingalsanteater]

Yes, but I think it's difficult to draw direct parallels from the stereotypes in Zootopia to the stereotypes in the real world. They were stereotypes of animals and don't quite line up with people; though, like I said, anyone who has faced prejudice and stereotyping could probably see themselves in any of the characters. I like that you can't quite draw a direct parallel to the real world in the characters experiences.

nayrt

ITA, and the film is actually more powerful because there aren't easy parallels to be drawn. You actually have to think about prejudice and stereotyping independently of our usual associations.
