Stories are often a reflection of reality. Unlike many animated films marketed towards children, Disney's Zootopia contains more than its fair share of socio-political commentary.

Zootopia's society has the stereotype of what kind of jobs this animal can do, which overpowers the animal's opinion and right to choose in Zootopia. For example, animals that work as police officers are big and strong-looking, sloths work as DMV employees, or bunnies work as farmers.

Why does Disney's latest movie Zootopia have a different name "Zootropolis" in Europe? The simple answer, as recalled by one Disney executive, is, "In the UK, we decided to change the US title Zootopia to Zootropolis to merely allow the film to have a unique title that works for UK audiences."

What is the difference between a parody and a satire?
By definition, a parody is a comedic commentary about a work, that requires an imitation of the work. Satire, on the other hand, even when it uses a creative work as the vehicle for the message, offers commentary and criticism about the world, not that specific creative work.
