1. Drama. 2. Bullying. 3. Becoming a police officer
Zootopia is a 100-minute film with the ending credits deducted. Therefore, the film’s story development will not be as simple and single as Romeo and Juliet. Part Ⅰ(Exposition) alone can be divided into small Rising action, Climax, Falling action, and Resolution.
The Drama is the Exposition in this part. Overcoming the Bullying and the difficulties in becoming a police officer can be the Rising action. Becoming a police officer is the Climax. Saying goodbye to your parents is a Falling action. And the leaving is the Resolution.

Judy Hopps’s Development Breakdown
1. Judy Hopps wanted to be a police officer since she was young. The fox Gideon Grey’s injury to her made her always wary of the fox.
2. Judy Hopps went to work in the city centre but it didn’t go smoothly. Coincidentally, he took over the investigation of the missing otter. This is an opportunity to show her ability
3. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde found all the missing mammals and were commended.
5. Judy Hopps exposed the real culprit in the case of the missing mammals. Dissolved the tension between predators and prey.
6. Judy Hopps awarded the police badge to Nick Wilde. Then they became colleagues.
Judy Hopps is a static protagonist in some ways because she keeps her passion to be a good police officer and to protect the people in Zootropolis. But Judy Hopps is also a around protagonist because she overcame her vigilance against foxes.
Judy Hopps’s weakness is her distrust of foxes. This weakness was caused by her childhood experience. The weakness also hurts her friend Nick Wilde’s feelings. But after so much wonderful and exciting adventure, they came together again.
