In the highly anticipated sequel to the hit animated film Zootopia, the dynamic duo of Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps once again team up to take down the narcissistic leader Milton Lynxley. This gripping storyline has captured the attention of readers like Peter Kettle, who praised Disney for tackling themes of diversity, inclusion, and the importance of standing up to authoritarian figures.
The film’s powerful message resonates strongly with audiences, particularly in light of recent political turbulence. Kettle, writing to The Update Desk, commended Disney for creating a narrative that demonstrates the triumph of unity and justice over the self-serving ambitions of a corrupt leader.
“We took our two granddaughters to see Zootopia 2, in which a diverse pair of detectives (a fox and a rabbit) took on a narcissistic leader, demonstrating the importance and joy of all things DEI,” Kettle wrote. “Well done, Disney!”
The film’s success has also sparked discussions about the state of journalism, with readers mourning the impending departure of renowned columnist Martin Kettle. One reader, Malcolm Bower, described Kettle as a “giant” in the field, whose “brilliant prose, shrewd political analysis and fierce intellect” will be sorely missed.
While the Zootopia sequel has captivated audiences with its thrilling plotline and timely themes, it has also ignited broader conversations about the role of media, the importance of diversity, and the ongoing struggle against authoritarian tendencies. As readers continue to engage with the film’s powerful messages, it remains to be seen how the narrative will resonate in the years to come.
