Review of Zootopia (2016) by Moviereviewer45 — 25 May 2018

One great thing I like Zootopia is that it emphasizes the racial differences between its characters and addresses discrimination and prejudice. These themes on this movie are so critical to be included in an animation film like this. Some adults, when they first see this movie will think that it is an another "for children and teenagers" movie because of it's characters being anthropomorphic (animals behaving/acting as humans) and obviously an animated feature film; but it is much more than that, the movie will deliver a meaningful message about these strong themes and main ideas that will have a significant impact into a "socially aware" viewer's perception of racial differences.

Kids and teenagers will benefit greatly in the animation for this movie thanks to its wonderful characters along with their voice actors/actresses, amazing animation, and an energetic rhythm, that seems to be emanating from the film because of its vivid animation, which adds excitement and enjoyment while watching.

The setting of the movie is vibrant and admirable because of its pretty advanced architectural designs which is hard to be animated, in my opinion. I mean look at the design of some buildings in the movie primarily the windows and other glass structures, they sparkle when the sunlight reaches them. The complexity of animating these features are worth noting for. The scope of the area of Zootopia in the movie adds admiration for some viewers and of course, for myself; because of its diversity and relevance to a modern-day New York City or Los Angeles.

The main soundtrack "Try Everything" from Shakira is great. It adds excitement and hype for the movie as the music plays and the film explores the city from different angles to discover it's unique landmarks and tourist spots. The two main characters, Judy (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick (voiced by Jason Bateman) are admirable as well along with their chemistry. I like the personality of Nick Wilde in the movie because he tends to be quick-witted and intelligent which transcends the film to be fast-paced on some scenes.

Overall, a very recommended movie for everyone. This will surprise. A very strong and formidable Oscar contender for the year Zootopia is released.
