Enjoy the re-release of this classic Popcorn Theology episode:

Zootopia is on the menu this week, and we talk about the good and bad messages behind the film, thus exploring why it can be controversial. The movie deals with subject matter that is much deeper than your typical children's movie – racism and prejudice, for instance. There are also a number of points that could be less than helpful, depending on how one views the story. Maybe you have a strong opinion about the movie. Maybe not. Either way, we hope the episode is interesting to you.
