So I saw Zootopia tonight...
9 years ago
...and let me just say that after all that fucking hype, and people who just won't stop singing its praises, I won’t let Disney’s reputation cloud my judgement to any bias. This movie gets a truly, unadulterated, well-deserved
9/10
No, honestly. This is a great movie.
This is easily the smartest family movie since The Lego Movie, and Disney's most high quality work since Lilo & Stitch. It's very well-written, the animation is top-notch (as usual), the story was engaging, and surprisingly tense and dark. The voice acting was great, especially from Gennifer Goodwin as Judy. There’s one scene that she sold to the point where I was thinking the bunny should get an Oscar.
The messages and themes are the standout of the movie, although I think critics gave it too much cred for the prejudice message. From the way they talk about it, you'd think they were openly having literal Black Panthers marching in it, like in the comic Blacksad, but it was a heavy message, referencing profiling and microaggressions in a way that basically said "Hey, don't think like this." Subtle but head-on enough to draw familiarity and get the point they’re making.
The very little flaws I have just go towards often convoluted plot, mostly the big climax, which is pulled off well, but lacks, well, climax. I won't spoil it, but if you see it, and you totally should, you'll pick up on it.
To sum it up, Zootopia is one of the better animated movies in recent years. It's funny, heartwarming, deep, engaging and more clever than it lets on. It puts Disney back on the track it's been teetering around on for the past few years. It actually makes me mad at all these nakedly cynical kids movies coming out. (God, Trolls is going to be dogshit. Secret Lives of Pets too, that generic looking thing.)
Watch it. Watch it twice, like I just might. You’ll love it. I hope.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to write stories of Judy and Nick fucking. Maybe Chief Bogo and Clawhauser. Or those two newscasters. Or Gazelle getting a train run on her by the tigers. Or some joke story about sloth sex.
I'm gonna make Zootopia porn, and you're gonna like it. That's the point.

But I'm glad I watched it!
I could ask for elaboration, but that would go into spoiler territory, unless you can PM it.
