Review of Zootopia (2016) by Heitor P — 17 Nov 2018
Super cute and fun movie for the whole family to enjoy! The urban setting with the multiple Burroughs is unlike anything Disney has done before! The characters are sweet and likeable but a little bit predictable.
This entire film has a very obvious theme of anti-racism and I think this is one of the most creative and interesting ways to tell that story. Everything from the setting to the characters contributes to this real life comparison of racism and honestly it works soooo well! I don't even mind that the entire film felt slightly too present day with the iphones and technology, because the way this film is set up, is that it is telling a story of racism present day. Give this a few decades and it will go down as a classic guaranteed!
My biggest complaint with this film is the villain at the end. There was no sign or anything that bellwether would be the villain. It felt lazily thrown in at last minute to give an evil mastermind behind the work. Her intentions line up, but still feel a little weak since honestly any prey animal could say that those were their intentions. Why not line it up with something to do with her job as assistant mayor? That would have been interesting.
This was an exceptionally good film overall and I recommend it to anyone!
