"Buy everything" the model consumer citizen of Disney's Zootopia
ABSTRACT Given its history and status as a purveyor of quality children's entertainment, Disney's animated films are often associated with notions of "wholesomeness" and "family fun" by audiences. Consequently, consumption of Disney's media products tends to be an uncritical process. While a preferred decoding of Zootopia recognizes in its characters and story an affirmation of racial diversity and girl power, the film's polysemy conveys other latent messages that emerge through a negotiated reading. This paper focuses on the discourses within Zootopia that promote neoliberal values such as consumerism, individualism, and "small government." An analysis of the text reveals that Zootopia constructs an ideal citizen who obeys the law, performs their consumptive duties, believes in the capitalist myth of the American Dream, and happily accepts simulacra as substitute for reality. Furthermore, this paper makes the argument that Zootopia functions as a feature length advertisement, not only for consumer products per se, but in a broader sense, for the consumerist lifestyle.

"It's Called a Hustle, Sweetheart" Zootopia, Moana, and Disney's (Dis) empowered Postfeminist Heroines
Throughout its long history, the Walt Disney Company has repeatedly relied on a patriarchal idealization of femininity to craft its animated female protagonists. In Disney films, male interests, expectations, power, and leadership are consistently valued over those of female characters, who must submit unquestioningly to male direction. Internet reviewers and respected news sources alike claimed that Judy Hopps, Zootopia 's bunny cop protagonist, and Moana 's royal Polynesian title character, are independent, "feminist" heroines who counter this patriarchal narrative template. While critics argue that Judy and Moana defy Disney's patriarchal template, these two films actually represent a postfeminist, rather than a feminist, reimagining of Disney's template which resigns both protagonists to narratives that celebrate and center male power. Judy Hopps and Moana act independently, but each woman is relegated to a tenuous relationship with a domineering male character whom she must defer to and emotionally nurture. Intentionally or not, Disney empowers Judy and Moana only to the extent that both women manage and control themselves, rather than allowing them to exercise power to contest the relationships and societies which oppress them. Thus, these films offer a tepid acknowledgment of the problems with Disney's traditional depiction of femininity, but they ultimately reveal that female empowerment exists in the Disney Co.'s narratives only when incubated in a toxic, platonic relationship with a male character.

Whiteness and the Postracial Imaginary in Disney's Zootopia
Abstract Drawing from strategic whiteness and postracism as critical frames, and utilizing critical rhetorical analysis, this manuscript argues that the 2016 Disney animated hit film Zootopia is a postracial narrative developed by the White imagination to embody an ideal diversity that sustains whiteness. This project seeks to expose how, within the film Zootopia, whiteness toils as a strategic rhetoric to maintain its dominance, benefiting logics of postracism that hinder White liability and any possibilities for White ally ship. This project offers two identified primary themes. First, the metropolis, Zootopia, is strategically constructed a postracial space of the White imaginary. Second, the film reinscribes racial "Otherness" on Black masculine bodies while centralizing whiteness and romanticizing racism through the common anti racist White hero trope.

Karnaval'ne porushennia stereotipnikh norm iak shliakh do ekologizatsiyi svidomosti (na materiali anglomovnogo animatsiinogo diskursu <Zootopia>
The article focuses on the problem of carnival violation of simplified and generalized ideas about the world in the English language animated discourse of the film "Zootopia" The question of carnival violation of stereotypes is for the first time studied in terms of ecological or non ecological impact on consciousness. The article consistently considers the problems of development of ecological consciousness; stereotype as a tangible result of the processes of simplification and generalization in the common consciousness of people which prevents the development of "healthy" interaction between people and with the natural world. In what way animation discourse: embodies the features of the carnival defined by M. Bakhtin; exposes the shortcomings of people through the prism of stereotypes about animals and due to its paradoxical nature helps to establish the ecological norm. The material of the English language animated discourse of the film "Zootopia" examines cooperation of carnival elements: ambivalence, universality, grotesqueness, symbolism and corporeality with verbal and nonverbal modes, and their influence on infraction and ridicule of stereotypes; how in the result of the carnival violation of stereotypical norms a new ecological norm is formed, which contributes to the ecoliteracy increase in society, encourages to solve environmental problems and promotes the establishment of "healthy" relationships with nature and its phenomena.

A phonetic study of Zootopia characters' voices in Brazilian Portuguese dubbing: the role of stereotypes
ABSTRACT This work comprises an experimental investigation approach of expressive speech that integrates methodological procedures of perceptual and acoustic analyses. As the object of this work, we have focused on voice quality and vocal dynamics. Speech samples from the four main personality distinct characters in the animated feature film "Zootopia" dubbed by Brazilian voice actors have been analysed. Due to the expressive function of voice quality, we have posed the following question: what types of voice quality and vocal dynamics settings were used by the voice actors in the Brazilian dubbing of "Zootopia" to compose the vocal profiles of the characters? Perceptual evaluation of the 54 speech stimuli was performed using the Vocal Profile Analysis protocol (Laver Mackenzie Beck, 2007) Acoustic measures were automatically extracted using the ExpressionEvaluator script (Barbosa, 2008) for PRAAT. The profiles for each of the four characters were composed based on the psychological traits described in the film script. The results of the acoustic analysis, the perceptual analysis of voice quality and vocal dynamics settings were correlated using the MFA (Multiple Factor Analysis) method in the R environment based on 40 variables (quantitative and qualitative) and it turned out that the speech stimuli were distributed in 6 clusters according to the variables analysed. The quantitative variables that presented the highest correlation percentage were: Standard Deviation of f0 Derivative, Standard Deviation of Spectral Tilt, f0 Median. The qualitative variables that presented the highest correlation percentage were: Lowered Larynx, Lip Rounding, Breathy Voice and Minimised Pitch Range. The research has presented evidence in favor of the symbolic use of phonic matter and contributions to the understanding of how vocal stereotypes are established.
