Unit 6 Time to Watch: Zootopia profile and vocabulary

Read the printed film profile and learn six prewatch expressions.

The printed profile presents Zootopia as an animated film about Judy Hopps, a young rabbit who dreams of becoming a police officer. She works hard and becomes the first rabbit police officer in the city. She teams up with Nick Wilde, a fox. Judy initially dislikes Nick, but they become friends and work together on a problem that could harm the city. The profile highlights accepting others and continuing when things are difficult, and says the film suits both children and adults. The prewatch vocabulary is mess up, recognise, get along with, give in, keep on, and breath.

Key terms

mess up — do something wrong or badly
recognise — understand or identify
get along with — have a good relationship with someone
give in — stop competing or resisting and accept that you cannot win
keep on — continue doing something
breath — air taken into or sent out of the lungs
