Zootopia gives in to its inner darkness is this gritty recut trailer

Anyone who watched the Zootopia documentary (which is streaming for free on YouTube) will know that the movie was originally a much darker one. There was a whole subplot about the film’s predators being forced to wear “tame collars” that delivered electric shocks when they got too emotional. It was all meant to be a metaphor for the ways in which minority groups are often forced to keep their emotions in check lest they be seen as a threat by the dominant culture. It’s shockingly dark stuff, which is why it was eventually cut from the movie. But it turns out there’s still enough tense material left in the final version of Zootopia to allow CineFix to recut it as a gritty crime thriller.
