It's sometimes hard to ignore a movie that gets a lot of hype. Especially when that film is shoved in your face a lot, such as advertising. I could not ignore Zootopia even though I tried. Every website I visited had some kind of advertisement, there was a whole Zootopia Tumblr promoting the film, and I swear there was a lion wearing a Zootopia T-shirt at the zoo. By the time the film's release date rolled around, I had been slammed by so much advertising that I had to see the film out of curiosity.

To me, animals and zoos in themselves have always been interesting. That idea of what the animal is thinking while stuck in that cage always fascinated me. Did they hate their fate or zoo life? Or did they undoubtedly enjoy it? Me being a simple brown-haired Caucasian human, I knew little of what went on inside the mind of an animal. I liked the idea of anthropomorphic animals as well and there seemed to be less and less forms of media depicting such creatures as of late.

A film featuring anthropomorphic animals seemed interesting, but the plot didn't look like anything to write home about. How unique could this film be? Turns out, the film-going experience was more entertaining than the film itself. The moment I walked into the theater, I knew it was going to be an odd day. The man at the door told me and everyone else who had pre-ordered tickets to Zootopia to walk off our shoes and socks. He then told us to walk on all fours until the movie was supposed to show. We were also not allowed to speak at all, only make animal noises. Ignoring these rules meant we were disallowed entry and not allowed to come in.

It was a bizarre request to say the least. Why would I have to act like an animal just to see a G-rated film? Considering how much hype this film got though, the other film-goers were not perturbed by this at all. After all, this was a winter and they had to drive all the way here in mucky weather. They were getting into this film, even if they had to embarrass themselves! They started removing their shoes and socks as they all started walking on their hands and knees. This was a very odd way to promote a film, but I was somewhat intrigued by all this. I shrugged my shoulders and decided to do the same. I removed my socks and shoes and fell onto my hands and knees. I started grunting like an ape as I knuckle-walked through the theater. I started to take notice of how many other people agreed to do this bizarre animal-like behavior just to get into this movie.

You had adults clucking like chickens, teenagers mooing like cows, and kids whinnying like horses. If this wasn't essentially a promotional gimmick, I would say that Disney had lost their minds! Heck, maybe they have. Oddly enough, I didn't get a whole lot of negative attention for my animalistic behavior. People didn't pay me much mind, almost as if this was normal or something. As I knuckle-walked through the theater, I decided I needed some food for the movie. I walked up to the concessions counter where a man was waiting. "Said the cashier. Ah, I see you're seeing Zootopia! Great, we'll have your food sent to you!" Sent to me? I didn't even order anything yet! I grunted in confusion as I looked at the cashier. "Don't worry, it'll all be taken care of!" Exclaimed the man as he petted my head.

Even the theater staff were treating me like an animal! I grunted and continued knuckle-walking. I made my way to the ticker holder next who greeted me with a smile. "Oh, you must be here to see Zootopia! No need to give me your ticket, it's already been taken by the zookeper and processed." My ticket has been taken? Impossible, my ticket was right here in my right pocket. I reached into my right pocket and found that the ticket was gone. This was... Weird. I almost walked out but I tempted by wanting to see how far the rabbit hole went. And who was this zookeeper?

I shrugged once more, I had a feeling that this was no big deal. After talking to the ticket holder I went inside the theater. As soon as I stepped inside, I noticed a strange device on the side wall next to the entrance. It looked like some kind of 3D glasses dispenser or something. It was a small blue device that read "Enhance your experience!" on the side. I noticed there was a tiny hole in the blue machine, so I leaned in to get a closer look. Once I had leaned in close enough, the machine whirred to life. From the tiny hole in the machine emerged a tiny mechanized hand. This hand was holding something, which it promptly latched firmly onto my ear.

I reached my hand over and felt that the object that had been pressed onto my ear. It was some sort of animal tag, that stupid machine just tagged me! I was starting to get the feeling this wasn't an advertisement at all. Disney was up to something and much as I'd love to run away, I was too morbidly curious to do so. After being tagged, I entered the theater proper. Much to my surprise, instead of seats there were only zoo cages! Every row in the theater was lined with individual zoo cages that were spaced apart from each other.

The door on each zoo cage was wide open and strangely inviting. I couldn't resist the temptation, I felt like I belonged in a cage! It was as if my inner animal had taken over. I knuckled-walked over to my cage and entered inside. To my surprise, the door to the cage automatically shut closed on me! I managed to regain control of my myself and started hammering on the cage door. However, I couldn't escape as the cage was extremely durable and locked shut. Many other people besides me were also entering the theater and made their way to the cages. As soon as they entered their cages, they became prisoners just like me!

I shouldn't have been so blind to this, Disney had captured me and all these people in their trap! Just then, commercials, promos, and interviews started playing on the big-screen. I looked at the screen and noticed all the commercials were all animal based. There was a commercial talking about the non-existent distinction between man and animal, animal-based trivia, and a tutorial on how to walk on all fours properly! Just as the adverts were wrapping up, I noticed the tag on my ear starting to become warmer.

I felt odd due to the tag as if it was changing core parts of me. My body started to alter as my skin started to sweat uncontrollably. Tiny follicles of red hair emerged from beneath my skin pores. The hairs slowly rose up and became thick as my arms and legs started to become blanketed in the fur. As the fur grew, my clothing ripped. The growing fur caused rips in my shirt and pants as the material was torn through my stringy fur. The fur was red in color and was incredibly many and dirty. Heck, it looked more like stringy moss than actual fur!

After my fur had grown, I felt the change move up into my face. My head started to grow larger as it fattened up. The skin along my face hardened somewhat and gained a leathery texture. My face started to flatten out as my cheeks grew larger and stretched. My face now looked akin to a mask of some sort! My lips and the area around them started to expand outwards. My nose melted into the front of my face leaving me with two nostril slits and my nose and mouth formed into a muzzle.

My face became fairly wrinkly as my neck started to ache. Underneath my neck formed some kind of thick rough sack. This sack grew larger and was visible from underneath my chin. The sack was the fame bluish black color as my face and was rough to the touch. The sack altered my vocal chords, changing my normal human voice into deep-sounding ape grunts. I then felt my body starting to expand and fatten up. I started gaining pounds like crazy as my already shredded clothes started to rip even more. What was left of my clothing shreds was soon ripped away by my immense flab. My underwear ripped and tore itself off my body as the elastics gave way to my ever-growing flab. My torso became flabbier as my large gut started to hang out. My arms became flabbier as well while at the same time growing longer. My arms grew fairly long, much like those of a common orangutan.

My hands bulked up and became larger as well, becoming the big strong paws of an ape in the process. My feet grew larger as well as my toes started to shift and morph. They grew longer as my feet turned into a pair of large foot-like hands. My transformation was now complete, I was now a big fat ape! I was covered in moss-like stringy fur, I had four hands, possessed a very flexible body and a rather dull-looking orangutan face. My whole body was fat and bulky, I must have weighed at least 400 pounds!

I grunted as I threw my large ape paws against the cage I was in. I knew that I had to get out of here, this was no normal movie-going experience! As I banged on the cage bags, I finally took notice of something I should have seen long before. Everyone who had piled into the cages were now animals like me! Zebras, donkeys, pigs, cows, zebras, lions, gazelle, gorillas, almost any animal you could imagine! I was surprised I didn't notice, but it was probably due to me dealing with my own transformation. The theater was full of animals noises and fowl odors as the animals desperately tried to escape their cages. Just then, the screen in front of us started showing the film as the lights around us dimmed.

All of the animals drew strangely silent as did I. I had the feeling I needed to pay attention to this film, like something important was in the film that I needed to see. To my surprise, when the film started up it showed Judy Hopps the bunny and Nick Wilde the fox standing in front of a white background. "Welcome, new animals to the instructional film that will get you all used to your new lives and bodies!" Exclaimed the fuzzy little rabbit known as Judy. "Indeed! For you see, Disney has started a new program. After repeat complaints from PETA and animal activist groups for depictions of animal characters in Disney films, we took a stand. If these groups would complain about our animal-based productions, then we would convert the whole world into animals!" Exclaimed Nick as he smiled and licked his teeth.

"Quite right, Nick! You see, you will be the first group to become animals and pave the way for the dawn of a new breed of animal. One with the body of the beast and the mind of a human, a perfect blend of both. It's Disney's "Life's A Zoo!" program and we feel it will fundamentally improve the world as we know it. Now that you've all been fully transformed, let's now educate you all!" Just then, the screen flickered as Judy and Nick disappeared from it. Suddenly, a strange hypnotic spiral appeared on screen. The strange spiral seemed to somehow be manipulating thoughts, instilling me instincts and behaviors yet leaving my intelligence and memories intact. The spiral gave me knowledge of how to behave like an ape as if the information was being beamed directly into my mind.

As I watched the strange hypnotic spiral, I started scratching my butt with my right hand uncontrollably. I then proceeded to take my other big meaty ape paw and scratch my head with it. I could hardly believe it, I was acting like an actual ape! Eventually, the hypnosis section ended as Judy and Nick reappeared on the screen. "Well, that certainly was fun! Now all of those instincts and mannerisms are part of your very being!" Exclaimed Judy with a smile. "Yes, indeed they are! You are now the first breed of a new kind of animal, one who thinks like a man yet acts like an animal. Before we leave you to your new existence, we have some dinner for you. Please enjoy!"

Just then, a bunch of what appeared to be men in zoo uniforms entered in through the back door to the theater. They were carrying several different trays of food, most of which only an animal would find appetizing. I happened to be an animal, which was somewhat of a good thing at the moment because I was starving! One of the zoo-workers brought a bowl towards me, filled with fruit. The bowl looked extremely appetizing to me. I grabbed some ripe fruit and held it in palm and immediately chomped on it in a rather animalistic fashion.

I ate that entire bowl of fruit in one sitting. I wiped my mouth afterwards and than proceeded to scratch my hairy belly afterwards. I needed to figure a way out of this cage and return to normal, but it sounds like Disney wouldn't like that idea very much. Disney is insane, this plan to turn everyone into animals couldn't possibly work! Just then, I started to lose consciousness. There must have been something in the fruit I ate, like a tranquilizer! My hefty body became immensely heavy as I slowly dropped to the floor. I landed on my hairy back as my eyes closed shut. I drifted off and launched consciousness, only to wake up much later. When I woke up, I found that I was now outside in some kind of enclosure. There were massive trees around me and I found myself in a large grassy area. In front of me was a large gate meant to keep me in. I appeared to be in some sort of zoo, but where?

I hobbled onto all fours as I grunted and made ape noises. I started knuckle-walking around the enclosure, though it was a bit difficult for me at first. I wasn't used to have such a fat and hefty body, on top of this this new body moved in rather odd ways. As I walked around my enclosure, I noticed a rather large tree in the middle. It was impossible, but I recognized that tree! It was the Tree Of Life! However, that tree is only at Disney's Wildlife Kingdom, which meant that I was in an entirely different country! I scratched my body nervously as I looked around. I noticed several people walking around with animal tags just like I had! Those people were going to get transformed like I was.

I wanted to warn them, but I couldn't speak. The only thing I could do was grunt and scratch myself, clearly I was in no state to warn anyone! As I panicked and sat there, I heard a strange whisper reverberate through my mind. "Do not worry, you will be freed upon the day of animal takeover..." I turned my head and looked around for who said that. I saw a shadowy figure under a nearby tree. He was holding what appeared to be a movie ticket from earlier. Wait, was that my movie ticket?! The man had what appeared to be a goat's head, was he this Zookeeper I heard about? The shadow figure disappeared as quickly as he had arrived. He just blinked out of existence as if he wasn't there to begin with.

I was so confused as to what just happened. Just earlier today I was a human going about his day, but now I was trapped in the hairy smelly form of an ape! And worst of all, everybody on earth was about to be transformed by Disney's insidious plan. It was hard to believe that such a family-friend company was secretly a front to transform the world's populace into animals! I ran through all the evidence in my head and it made perfect sense. Lion King, Robin Hood, Jungle Book, Great Mouse Detective and other such films were all animal oriented. They weren't just for fans and furries, they were secretly manipulating the minds of people! There were only a few more days until the planet was animalized and there was nothing anybody could do to stop it. Disney's aggressive marketing campaign was an equally aggressive ploy to conquer the planet and we all fell for it.
Okay, this was a bit of a satire story. You see, there had been a bit of aggressive advertising going on with Zootopia. I'm of course talking about the "Happy Zoo Year!" Tumblr blog: disneyzootopiamovie.tumblr.com… So yeah, after reading through the blog I got a dumb idea for a story. What if Zootopia was really a ploy by Disney to turn everyone on the planet into animals?! So, I just rolled with that. The idea is that Disney's advertising becomes so aggressive to the point where they craft a takeover plan of the entire planet. In this story, I go to the theater to see Zootopia only to be caged and turned into an orangutan!

But yeah, this was meant to be a sorta satire / joke. I mean no offense to the people behind Disney or Zootopia. I just like to make fun of really rampant advertising gimmicks. I respect that a lot of hard work goes into both the film and the advertising behind it. Both Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps are property of Disney. Also, in all honesty I couldn't have picked a better time to post this story as they are updating the Zootopia blog tomorrow. So, yeah early Zoo Year everyone. Let's hope Disney doesn't plot to turn us all into animals and conquer the planet. :D

Maybe there is a real Zootopia somewhere and the characters actually do exist.
