Zootopia is Disney's first 2016 animated offering. The film takes place in an alternate universe where humans do not exist. Instead, animals evolved and developed civilization, and they eventually learned to live all together in peace. The predators don't even eat the prey anymore! However, that doesn't mean that there isn't still social inequality. The movie's main character is a young rabbit named Judy Hopps. She has moved from her family's small carrot farm out in the country to the big city of Zootopia to be a cop in the ZPD, the first ever rabbit to ever accomplish that feat. However, her coworkers and the public still don't really take her seriously, because she's a rabbit. However, when 14 predators across the city mysteriously go missing, Judy is on the case to find them! Along with a con artist fox named Nick Wilde, it's a crazy adventure with sloths, the mafia, and government conspiracy! Will Judy and Nick find the missing animals? Will Judy ever be taken seriously as a cop? Watch Zootopia to find out!
This in an amazing animated film! The animation is gorgeous with some fantastic character and production design! Every aspect of the city of Zootopia was thought out, accounting for animals that live in different habitats, size differences between different animals, and more! The story is very original and engaging, dealing with themes of prejudice and equality. The comedy was also hilarious! Now, there are still quite a few questions I have about the movie that were never addressed. For example, if the predators aren't eating the prey anymore, what ARE they eating? Another one I had was where are all the other animals? We see mammals in this movie, lots of them, but we never see any reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects, arachnids, or any marine creatures at all. Well, I take that back, they DO show flies buzzing around one character's head, and there are references to birds in the lyrics of the song Try Everything by Shakira, but are they intelligent? Do they have their own civilizations too? I don't know! It's never brought up. There are a lot less unanswered questions than in Frozen, but they are very major questions! Oh well. Maybe we'll get some answers in shorts on the DVD or possibly a sequel. However, that's the only negative thing I can say about this movie. This is very close to being a perfect film. It's a modern classic, just like Inside Out. If I could give a reccomendation, it would be kids can watch it, but it really is more of a film for adults. Much like Inside Out, the themes of this movie are really more for adults rather than kids. There are also pop culture references to things like The Godfather and Breaking Bad, and if you let your little kid watch those, frankly, you're a terrible parent. Either that, or you're the coolest parent ever. Anyway, this movie gets 4.9 stars out of 5! An incredible film as well as launching a thousand furries, definitely go see this movie!
