We are living in Bellwether’s world right now. Every news cycle, every algorithm, every “us vs. them” headline is a dose of night howler serum. The predator is the immigrant. The prey is the native. The predator is the liberal. The prey is the conservative. Flip the script. It never ends.
The film’s genius is its opening train sequence. Judy Hopps, wide-eyed and fresh from Bunnyburrow, watches as the landscape shifts from rainforest to tundra to desert to miniature rodent city. The message is clear: This place was built for everyone.
Not the one in the movie. Not the one in our heads. Not the perfect society where no one is afraid and every habitat has climate control and the DMV is run by sloths (okay, that part is perfect).
We will never arrive at Zootopia.
