Term Paper Outline: Zootopia Analysis

Revised

Introduction

A. Animated Feature Film:  Zootopia (108 min)
B. Thesis- In a city of anthropomorphic animals, physics are unnatural and manipulated when convenient, the product is a fun world to watch.

Body Paragraphs

1. Laws of Gravity Broken
-Judy and Nick are running away from Manches the bridge throws both Nick and Judy in the air much farther then what Manches mass is capable of (52:00)

-Gideon pushes Judy, and she goes up before she goes in the direction of the push (4:52)

-the weasel changes his shape to fit through the mouse tunnel forms, with that his hang time is unlimited (30:06)

2. Exaggerated Paths of Action

-Nick points away and when Judy looks and looks back to Nick, Nick has moved a whole block (23:56)

-As Nick flies up in the air after dismounting from Judy, Judy then climaxes higher and later then Nick (55:15)
-the projectile motion the weasel makes is inaccurate, he is running full speed far away from the fence and he tosses the bag in the air with a high velocity in the x direction, the bag lands directly on the other side of the fence with hardly any change in X (29:06)

3. Inertia exaggerations
-the neighbors next door to Judy, are talking through the wall and when they talk, an assigned picture frame moves to their words (27:50)

-Judy jumps off the boxing ring rope to fly into the fist of the Rhino, she is much smaller then then the rhinos fist and the rhino's fist moves with more speed than Judy (7:08).

-Nick and Judy jump off the train going full speed and they stop where they land, as the train goes into the wall (127:40)

Conclusion
-Physical laws are intentionally broken throughout the film whenever more flare was wanted.

-If I wasn't paying attention I would not notice the laws broken in physics, it gives the film more life, and adds comedy.

Introduction

A. Animated Feature Film:  Zootopia (108 min)
B. Thesis- In a city of anthropomorphic animals, physics is pushed beyond the limits of the natural world, the product is a humorous universe.

Body Paragraphs

1. Exaggerated Character Movements

-Judy does a backflip and moves far away from the direction she started in (3:41)

-Gideon pushes Judy, and she goes up before she goes in the direction of the push (4:52)

-Judy jumps off the boxing ring rope to fly into the fist of the Rhino, she is much smaller then then the rhinos fist and the rhino's fist moves with more speed than Judy (7:08).

-Judy does a lot of bouncing around that is not legitimate (17:20)

-elephants make quick movements that aren't real (19:55)

-Judy's mom goes to end the facetime call and the frame ends with her finger being in the middle of the display screen, implying the camera is in the bottom third of the phone (27:32)

-the projectile motion the weasel makes is inaccurate, he is running full speed far away from the fence and he tosses the bag in the air with a high velocity in the x direction, the bag lands directly on the other side of the fence with hardly any change in X (29:06)

2. Slowed/altered key spacing
-Judy is riding the train into Zootopia and they cut through the trees to view the train, and given the speed of the frames, the train is going very slow, because it needs to for the effect (10:09-12:00)

-Nick points and when the frame comes back he has moved a whole block (23:56)

-the weasel changes his shape to fit through the mouse tunnel forms (30:06)

3. Animals make inanimate objects shake
­-Judy almost gets smashed by a rhino walking on the street, and as he walks the ground shakes (25:16)

-the neighbors next door to Judy, are talking through the wall and when they talk a picture frame that has been assigned to each character moves in rhythm to their words (27:50)

Conclusion
-Physical laws are intentionally broken throughout the film.

-If I wasn't paying attention I would not notice the laws broken in physics, it gives the film more life, and add comedy and a sense of danger to normal everyday actions.

Describing myself is often difficult because sometimes I feel like everything is a lie, but if you want to see more lies check out my Instagram @Black_Fin. I post pictures of the beautiful people I get to spend life with, some of the glimpses of magic I see along the way, and occasionally pictures my friends take of me. or we can be friends on The Book 

My name is Jacob Sanchez, I go by Jacob/Jax/Sancho depending on what friend group you know me from. I am not an artist, however I would consider myself a creative, but my mediums often involve food, apple wine, gardening, wood work, welding, just random projects that attract my attention. And to be clear, I have never taken an art class, I didn't know this was an art class, I figured it would just be more theory, so I am excited.  

 

At the university I study Chemistry the classes I an enrolled in this semester are:

The Chemistry of Wine

Physical Chemistry

Chemistry and the computer

a Seminar for Graduate School

Waves and Optics

Physics of Animation

Scuba diving

and I am apart of an Analytical Research group on campus

 

After my Bachelors degree I plan on going on for a PhD, and past that I plan on being involved with start ups, politics, and generally a philosophical world leader. However, if I end up on a sailboat in the south pacific with a beautiful wife and kids, I would hardly see it as a failure.
