This study focuses on the role of comic functions in exposing and challenging hidden ideologies, intentions, potential significance and other phenomena behind the animated ecological discourse of the film "Zootopia". The paper consistently considers two views on the ecology of animated discourse and comic functions that are used to uncover violation and establish an eco-friendly relation by means of language forms. The material of the English-language animated discourse of the film "Zootopia" examines cooperation of verbal and nonverbal modes, exposes problems and encourages solving them as well as promotes establishment of sustainable relationships between humans themselves, humans and nature as well as its phenomena.
