Disney's new animated movie Zootopia got some great reviews so I decided to
see it on opening weekend. In our PC world, the reviewers decided to
overlook the obvious message that gays are a persecuted minority who are no
different than anyone else and that those who are concerned with how gays
are perceived as normal in modern society are bad.
This essay has spoilers.
The knee jerk reaction to my view on the movie may be "Get serious. This is
only a movie." "You're over-analyzing it." "The message could mean lots of
things. It could be anti-racist." "This is just a homophobic rant."
Movies have messages.There is a clear pro-gay, anti-Christian values
message in this movie. It is not about racism, which I will clearly show.
There is a culture war that those with traditional values may be losing,
but giving up should not be an option. Traditional values are superior to
those advocated by many in the LGBT community. This is not hate. Societies
that embrace traditional values are healthier than those who embrace
hedonism.
Christians are familiar with parables with meaning beyond just the story.
Characters and actions in the parables of Jesus represent things. Jesus
picked the elements of his parables on purpose to get his point across. The
writers of Zootopia have done the same thing.
Zootopia is written by a team of eight writers. They include many who worked
on Frozen. Frozen has been embraced by the LGBT community for having a
heroine who is different, has a secret others don't understand, and isn't
interested in men. Many see "Let It Go" as a gay anthem.
One of the story writers on Zootopia is Phil Johnston whose credits include
a raunchy comedy named Cedar Rapids, a curious pedigree for a Disney movie.
I haven't seen the movie, but I have read that it is sympathetic to gays.
I recognize that the gay acceptance message is not the only message of the
movie. There is also the message that you should reach for your goals and
not give up. Nevertheless, notice how much of the movie advances the pro-gay
agenda:
•The villain in the movie is a sheep. Why pick a sheep? The sheep is
an animal associated with Christians. Jesus referred to his followers as his
sheep. Jesus is called the lamb of God. The sheep is selected as the
villain because in the LGBT world view, it is Christians who are the enemy
because they condemn LGBT sexual practices as sinful.
•In the world of Zootopia, predators and their prey now live together
in peace. They are the same. They are equal.To believe ugly things about
predator behavior based on what was once believed by society is wrong. There
is nothing wrong with predators. They won't eat you. This is the message of
the modern LGBT community. Past generation may have treated gays as wicked
and evil, but they were wrong. Today, everyone should recognize that gays
are perfectly normal like everyone else. They won't eat any of your children.
•Judy Hops, the main character bunny, is counselled by her
traditionalist parents not to trust foxes, because they are predators by
nature. They give her fox spray she can use to keep herself safe from foxes.
The message here is that the values of parents are dated and bigoted.
•Nick Wilde, the main character fox, relates a traumatic experience as
a young child where he was kicked out of a scout troop for being a predator
. This is an blatant swipe at the Boy Scouts for their position on excluding
gays. This is not the first time Disney animators have poked fun at the Boy
Scouts. In The Emperor's New Groove, Kronk, the party hosting, treat baking
, apron wearing, body builder who is in touch with his emotions ends up
being a scout leader.
•Why pick the name Nick Wilde for the fox? Oscar Wilde was a famous
homosexual writer and was condemned by society for his behavior.
•As the movie progresses, Judy Hops's parents have reformed and are
now partners with a fox who they accept as an equal. What occupation is the
fox? A baker. Again the allusion to gays as stereotypical bakers.
•The evil sheep has a scheme to make the public believe that predators
will attack prey. She makes a poison that turns the innocent predators into
vicious attackers. The message here is that gays are normal and it only the
Christian's wrong bigoted attacks that can convince the public that there
is something wrong with gays. The Christians are wrong. The gays are normal.
•At one point Judy Bunny proclaims that sometimes predators will
attack prey because that is just who they are and they can't help themselves
. This is hurtful to Nick Wilde to hear something so mean because predators
aren't really predators. They are just like prey. Again, there is nothing
different about gays. To think so is bigoted.
•One of the characters in the movie mentions that life is not a live-
happily-ever-after-musical cartoon. That used to be the message of Disney
movies. Boy meets girl and they live happily ever after. Not this time. In
the end the once-scared-of-foxes bunny becomes the police partner to the fox.
•The movie ends with an upbeat song entitled "Try Everything." While
much of the lyrics has the message that you should not give up and try again
if you fail, the choice of words to "try everything" is also, in the
context of this movie, an invitation to not limit yourself to a normal
lifestyle.
•And what about the very choice of the title of the movie, Zootopia?
It is clear allusion to Utopia, an imagined religion free paradise where
everyone is equal and everything is perfect. Isn't that what the LGBT
community wants?
Welcome to Disney 2016. Would Walt Disney even recognize where it has gone? |
