The other character, Nick is a crafty fox. He is also a victim of the stereotypes of society. When he was young, he was treated like a predator. Although he tries to be friendly and kind to the other animals, he is hurt by the other’s disrespect, due to their preconceived notions of him. From then on, he has to be cool and cold to protect himself. He is not treated equally by others, and he is judged according to stereotypes. How can this world be the Utopia?
However, Judy’s helpfulness and kindness eventually get through to Nick. Nick changes. He changes back to his normal personality in which he loves to help others. He gets the trust and respect from Judy that he needs and deserves. The world is starting to become a Utopia.
Judy fulfills her role as a police officer to give her hand to whoever needs it, and at the same time, she supports justice and right. When the Vice Mayor does something wrong, she does not pity for the sheep and judges equally. Judy is full of the justice and rightness. She plays an important role in the Zootopia. She awakens Nick’s kind personality. She even turns Zootopia to be a Utopia.
The world of Utopia is the place that people care about each other and help each other. The world is full of justice, rights, and equality. At the end, Zootopia turns to Utopia.
