The research will begin with establish a foundation on the definition of ‘cultural diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’, as well as the depiction of said concept on the big screen by examining previous works of both American movie industry in brief and Disney animation throughout the years. Then, Zootopia will be examined as a case study to identify the new aspects of multiculturalism that have been integrated into the movie by comparing and contrasting its characters, settings and semiotic features both with previous Disney’s movie of the same theme and with real-life historical and contemporary accounts and researchs on multicultural societies.
