Metaphor is a figure of speech. In order to achieve rhetorical effect, it directly uses one thing to describe another thing. It may provide (or blur) clarity or identify hidden similarities between two things. “Zootopia”, an animated film produced by Disney, has swept around the world since its release. From this story, the children enjoyed the lovely cartoon image and the power of justice. Teenagers felt the efforts for the pursuits. However in adult perspective, there are metaphors everywhere in the city of wild animals. The application of metaphors in this film will bring strong astonishment and inspiration.
