Rewatched in preparation for ZOOTOPIA 2. Rating: A+ Returning to ZOOTOPIA years later confirmed it as one of my absolute favorite Disney animated movies, compelling me to upgrade my rating from an 'A' to a rare 'A+' for the first time ever. It's easily one of the most cleverly hilarious kids' films I've ever seen, filled with brilliant animal-related humor that had me cracking up alone at home — something I ...

Bunny rabbit "Judy" is determined that she is going to be the first of her kind to make it into the ranks of the "Zootropolis" police force. Her boss, "Bogo" is not so enthusiastic, so it's lucky that an otter has gone missing and that she can promise his wife that she will track him down! As she delves deeper into the mystery, she encounters the street-smart fox "Nick" and together they gradually uncover a plot t...

I like <em>'Zootopia'</em>, it's much better than I had anticipated. First off, the animation is superb - as we expect from Disney of course, but that doesn't change the fact. Ginnifer Goodwin (Judy) leads the cast very well, while Jason Bateman gives the most memorable performance as Nick. Idris Elba and Jenny Slate (not Edie Falco or Constance Shulman, as I initially guessed... just me? Probably) are good too...

Why I find Zootopia revolutionary ============================== 1. The creative design of the titular city, and the astonishing world building. 2. Using colors and deliberately simple animation not just to make the movie appeal to children, but also to indicate the so-called ideal city of Zootopia where every animal is pure and innocent. 3. Blending more than one genre into a single animated film while ...

Zootopia is an allegorical tale which subtly takes on vast topics like racism, politics and society. It explores these underlying philosophical themes in a rather humorous manner! Everything, right from the characters to the storyline, is just top notch! It’s similar to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, just the underlying issues are different in this one. It’s definitely worth watching! Overall, Zootopia is a b...

This film is named 'Zootopia' in the US but the title was changed when it was shown in the UK. I thought it is a very good children's film. Very well animated. Colourful. Really cute animals. It is a great parable about tolerance and racism which could be seen as a mirror to the xenophobia in society today. The story is of a rabbit called Judy Hopps who overcomes diversity to become a police officer in the city...

This is a really, really good animated family movie. It is a perfect blend of funny characters, decent story and little jokes spread around in the animation. Almost all characters are very likable and funny, each in a different way. The actual story has quite a bit of suspense (for an animated family film) while still being sufficiently light and funny. Actually it is kind of two stories. One is the story of Ju...

_Zootopia_ leans pretty hard on a few tropes that I absolutely detest, but even I can't deny that this animated family movie succeeds spectacularly at what it set out to do: Entertain all audiences, young & old, and deliver an important moral centre without detracting from its engaging plot. Something rarely achieved by the medium outside of Pixar. And even Pixar has had a few missteps the past years. _Final ra...

Zootopia is the latest family animation movie from Disney about a young bunny determined to be a cop at all costs – in a land where only 'predators' are cops, she would be the first ‘prey’ cop. Seriously? Anyway, she puts on the hard work and makes it to the land where anything is possible. Zootopia makes some good real life comparisons: Zootopia itself seems to look like New York, even including a hustle by a...

> Try everything (but differently). So Disney has done it again. This beautiful animation came to exist because of coming together of the directors of 'Tangled' and 'Wreck-it-Ralp'. It is Disney who had once again done it, since their rival Pixer is going down in a rapid speed. As a Disney fan since my childhood, I'm very happy for their success in live-shot films and animations, especially for this one. Oka...

One of the best movies Disney has created in the last years. Smart plot with a great background topic talking about the differences, stereotypes, prejudices and joining the tendency of giving women more important roles. It has still several gaps to fill and enhance on the latest point but it is, IMHO, a milestone in the right direction. The characters work pretty well and it is funny when needed and not too ...
