Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose were such a hit in a TV show that lasted 5 seasons. The even have toys, video games, a pinball machine, and even a restaurant. They also have this film which could have catapult them to a new level of stardom, but instead made them pretty much forgotten. I guess this shows audiences were starting to be less interested in tomboys usurping boys' jobs.

The film features anthropomorphic animals who wear garments but for some reason no shoes. It centers on a gray rabbit named Judy who pursues her childhood dream in becoming a cop. She fails in her first attempt in police academy. She would, however, return, pass every test and finally become a cop. After dealing with parking violators, Judy is assigned to find a missing critter. Zootopia is as entertaining and funny as any animated film featuring talking animals. Perhaps better, considering the film earned over $1 billion at the box office. Is it flawless? Almost.

Maybe he did know. In fact the difference between a guy and a girl is something even an infant can understand. But what on Earth was Jay Ward thinking when he made television cartoons? If I were the one making animated stuff, I'd do them the right way.

In 1949, Jay Ward released his first animated series in Crusader Rabbit, a show centering on an adorable rabbit knight. I wonder, why did he hire a bimbo to do the rabbit's dialog? And when the rabbit returned to the screen after a few years of hiatus, he hired another bimbo. If I were him, I'd hire young boys to be Crusader, considering young boys are less expensive to employ.

The way Ward used bimbos to be Crusader Rabbit makes me wonder if he knew the difference between a guy and a girl. When Ward went on to create his most famous series featuring a flying rodent and a dimwitted caribou, he inexplicably used a bimbo to be that soaring critter. I don't know what the heck he had in mind but the way he did things is kinda inappropriate.
