Slothful Movements: Disability, Acceleration, and Capacity Feminism in Disney’s Zootopia (2016)

ABSTRACT Critics and audiences applauded Disney’s Zootopia (2016) as a new brand of politically-conscious, pedagogical children’s media but uniformly read it as a critique of sexism and racism. This article examines the disability politics of speed, capacity and mobility to illuminate “capacity feminism:” the metaphorical rendering of feminist empowerment through ableist norms of embodiment and movement. By showing how Zootopia racializes (white) feminist determination as physical strength and ability at the same time that it aligns psychiatric disabilities with racialized, biologized criminality (“going savage”), this article shows how the film uses the presumed political neutrality of disability as an invisible platform for its rehabilitative narrative of the police and its anti-government politics. Emerging within the context of an intensification of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Americans Disabled Attendant Programs Today (ADAPT) activisms, Zootopia shows how seemingly disparate discourses of expansive universal design (UD) and restrictive criminal justice are mutually reinforcing, ensuring mobility for some through the immobilization of Others.
