I am the only one NOT thrilled by Zootopia?

Now, by all means I'm not thinking ill of the movie; in fact it could be a successful movie. IF done right.
And by that I mean sticking to their promise of ZERO human influence in the movie and treat the characters as animals with anthropomorphic features instead of humans in animal suits. Yanno, something like http://kevinandkell.com/ has been doing since 1995.
No, I think my concern lies (as usual) in the fandom. In particular the vocal minority that can be obnoxious at best and just plain toxic for both sides at worst. But I won't bore you with the same banter. Instead I want to ask you to remember the following.
This movie isn't "yours". This movie isn't going to be some sort of furry recruitment PSA to shove into people's faces. This, along with similar works, is meant to be for everyone, kids and adults, hardcore fanboys and the casual viewer.
That said, be mindful of how you behave in regards of this movie, ESPECIALLY in theaters. You'd think that'd be common sense, but if there's one thing customer care has taught me is that common sense's deader than disco.

Well said.
I agree that K&K is an example of this kind of setting done right, though I highly doubt Disney will have predator species actively hunting down and eating prey species in the movie. Gotta keep it tame in it's implications, afterall.
It looks alright, I guess.
Let's see if Ant-Man and The Force Awakens are any good before we worry about whether Zootopia's worth seeing. XD
"A buddy cop film is a film with plots involving two people of very different and conflicting personalities who are forced to work together to solve a crime and/or defeat criminals, " - Wikipedia
"But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn't so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery." - IGN premise of the movie
I would have liked to see something new. not a rehashed story line.
But I guess Disney isn't known for creating new material. Lion King being Hamlet, and all the fairy tales they do.
As for myself, I don't know if I'm going to see it in theaters myself. I'm all for society in general being more accepting of furries, but if this does turn into a furry activism rallying point, I generally don't like taking my personal interests and pursuits and blaring them at people through a megaphone.
I do hope people will be respectful and polite when they go to see this movie (though it might be fun to buy-out a couple of showings so a large furry group could see it together and unharassed).
I dunno. It doesn't just seem like you're not interested in it, it seems like you're actively annoyed anyone's excited based on the first trailer. :/
And no, I'm actively annoyed at some people already declaring this a "Furry exclusive movie"; that in general is a very selfish attitude as you said, based on one trailer. That'd be like saying the new Star Trek movies should've been for Trekkies only.
