Well, what can I say about this movie, in addition to “I laughed a lot!”? I really don’t know.
It’s a hilarious movie. I could watch it more than once, and I’m sure I would be laughing nonetheless. It’s a kids’ movie, but there are some jokes that only you will laugh at, and that's what makes it so enjoyable to watch.
(Not so) Subtle Criticisms
The whole movie has an enormous number of good characters. Some are nice guys, and some are terrible and mean. The usual for a kids' movie, right? I believe Zootopia went a bit further.
The criticism ranges from prejudice within the police because of Judy’s delicate appearance to the corruption and abuse of power shown by Bellwether.
However, for me, the most amazing ones were the sloths. I couldn’t stop laughing, as well as getting annoyed by how slow they were. Very close to many real public departments, I must admit.
Yes, you can. If you fight for it.
What I like most about the overall story is that the message is not simply “you can be anything” or “you can do anything you want”. The main character doesn’t have an easy life, and her dream isn’t as amazing as she thought it would be. Judy has to work very hard, even harder than other people, to get where she wants.
In my opinion, this is the most important lesson. Especially in these days where kids aren’t taught that yes, they can do and be anything… with effort! Lots of work and effort, and even some sacrifices.
Zootopia is a very interesting movie, and I’m waiting for my little girl to grow up a little bit more, so I can show it to her.
