On the outside, Zootopia is a cutesy buddy-cop film centered around a fictional mammal metropolis. But, if Zootopia teaches its audience anything within the one hour and forty eight minutes time frame of the movie, it’s this: never judge a book (or, in this case, a bunny) by its cover.

After all, at its core, Disney’s 2016 summer hit Zootopia is about encountering racial stereotyping and discrimination in the workplace. More than that, it’s a refreshing, modern-day critique on our society that’s equally allegorical and fast-paced.

So, it’s definitely not what you would expect for an animated film featuring anthropomorphic animals and amusing narrative devices.

Still, the charm of Zootopia is in its simple storytelling, or the ability to captivate its audience, both young and old, with hard core truth; funny, tongue-in-cheek quips (“Life isn’t some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid dreams magically come true. So let it go.”); and brilliant, dynamic characters.

If you haven’t seen this off-the-charts adorable film yet, I highly recommend it! You won’t be disappointed. In the meantime, keep reading for three simple College Fashion looks inspired by Zootopia’s anthropomorphic cast (some light spoilers ahead).

Judy Hopps

Judy Hopps, voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin, is the protagonist of the whole shebang, and the good cop to our buddy-cop film. Raised up in the rural country of Bunnyburrow, she’s expected to continue on the family legacy and stick to doing what rabbits do best: farm (and probably also breed, as evidenced by her 275 siblings). 

There’s just one problem: Judy wants to be a police officer, not a farmer. So, in typical Disney fashion, she pursues her dream with admirable optimism, along with the hard work to back it all up. Despite being the first bunny cop ever, Judy’s put to the test throughout the entirety of the movie, and she fights to keep her place as someone to be respected and not merely thought of as “cute.”
