Zootopia Review (NO SPOILERS)
9 years ago
Just got back from an early 10:30am showing here, before I have an afternoon/night shift at work and.... WOW.
I had some seriously high expectations for this movie, and it still surprised me with how much I loved it.
Some parts are the generic buddy-cop feel, but the pacing is perfect, the characters are great, and the voice acting is top notch. Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde (fox) was great, but Ginnifer Goodwin's voice acting chops as Judy Hopps (bunny) was superb. She really was something else in this movie, and there were two vivid emotional scenes where she brings it all the way. I was close to tears for the second big emotional moment, and she delivered. Also, best character ever.... Mr. Big (sort of kidding, but not really)
The villain I kinda already figured out going into this movie, since I knew it would give a big red herring, so there wasn't much of a surprise there. Having said that, there WERE a couple twists I wasn't expecting and it all really worked.
I have tomorrow off from work and I definitely see myself going to see it again. It was just that great.
And the ending of this movie, the final 5-10 minutes, is just perfect. I love the dynamic between Nick and Judy, and I really hope there's already a great idea brewing in the minds over at Disney for a great sequel. It would be amazing to see more of the world of Zootopia.
5/5 - Definitely worth buying on Bluray if you have a great setup.
P.S. When Shakira's "Try Everything" played about 10-15 minutes in, seriously major goosebumps.
P.P.S. There are a few 'scary' moments for kids if you have any, so just be ready for that.
P.P.P.S. So much better of a movie than The Good Dinosaur. I'm beginning to see how Disney is becoming Pixar and vice versa. Aside from Inside Out, nothing else in the upcoming schedule of Pixar stuff excites me at all. Not for quite some time.

The one negative reviewer stated 'the social anxieties behind Zootopia’s message of animal harmony... make me uneasy' and that the blossoming friendship between Nick and Judy made her 'wonder' and uneasy but she dismisses it by saying ' let's not go there'.
She even goes as far as saying 'environmentalists wouldn't approve of a movie that suggests wild animals are at their best when tamed'.
My favorite is when she says 'animal behavior is a troubling metaphor for cultural diversity. After all, preying on smaller or slower creatures is how many real animals eat' I can't help but feel she completely missed the forest for the trees on this film.
i loved this movie <3 and if nothing else I'd buy the hell out of the DVD and watch it til memorization of every line is done just like my fave disney movies of old XD
Also....I love the desk working kitty <3 Just freaking adorable!!!
