In many respects, this film is a modern answer to the deficiencies of their previous major furry film, Robin Hood (1973). Robin Hood was derided at its original release as an unambitious kiddie film with anthropomorphic animal characters that was beneath the artistic standards of the late Walt Disney, such as recycling numerous animation sequences from previous films. In addition, the female characters like Maid Marian are strictly secondary and disappear when their particular scenes are concluded. By contrast, Zootopia is a big budgeted, widely hailed and Oscar winning film with anthropomorphic animals and noted cinematic innovations such as in the depiction of texture. Furthermore, whereas the animators of Robin Hood complained at how their character designs were arbitrarily rejected in favor of cliched animal stereotypes, Zootopia has the subversion of stereotypes, and the prejudices involved, as a central theme of the film. Furthermore, the female cop character, Judy Hopps, is the central character with her struggles largely being the primary plot of the film.
