In this episode, Pablo, Rebecca, and Trevor get together to talk about their thoughts on Zootopia and the racial and prejudicial issues that it presented. We chat about how we thought they handled such a massive and difficult topic, what we thought they did right, and what we thought they might have done better. We also chat about the behind-the-scenes documentary from Fuzion and the alternate versions of the story that Disney explored before landing on Judy Hopps and the main plot devices.
