This movie gets 1 point because the plot is clear and straightforward. To get the 1 point in an argumentative essay, the thesis must have a clear position and a defensive claim. Zootopia does that in the plot as the plot is to discover who is turning predators violent, and a defensive claim that they are innocent and just being used for something worse.

This gets 0 points because it's a rip-off of the movie Mask from 1994, with low quality, lack of humor, incoherent/disjointed story, and no clear claim

This movie would get 0 points because firstly it has a predictable and unoriginal story basically just restating a story that's already been done before. Secondly it does a poor job at getting the message across lacking real evidence and story to back up the premise of the movie and finally poorly done songs making feel lazy and unfinished.

This movie gets the point because it has a mature and consistent writing style, as it tells the story of a neglected child who learns to raise herself and gains powers, but in the end finds a loving adult and has a stable home. Another reason this movie got the point is because of the rhetorical choices in the movie, as it used metaphors, pathos, and irony. The last reasons this movie got the point is that it is a nuanced argument of failed/negative authority.

This movie gets 1 point because they sing to solve problems, but that doesn't really explain how the problem is resolved; it just gives understanding.

This gets 2 points because the evidence of why she hides her powers is there, and it's relevant to the storyline, but the commentary is surface-level; it has no deeper levels to why, so it becomes faulty.

3 points

This movie gets 3 points because the evidence and commentary are good, but it lacks depth.

4 points

This movie gets 4 points because the evidence is specific, with the commentary showing complexity that is layered.
