So, ZOOTOPIA
9 years ago
From my Twitter, the day after a bunch of Malaysian furries got together, privately rented out a posh theater, and saw the movie* on opening weekend in Malaysia:
"What's Zootopia?
A buddy cop funny animal movie, sure,
but indirectly it's a tale of any utopian pluralism as a constant work-in-progress. (8.5/10)
-and of openness for some really whacked-out Sci-Fi backstory, dear lord.
I do NOT want sequels to explain anything, the fanfics're just going to be better."
That score was mostly for it being constrained by having to be a Disney family film. I knew there was a lot more going on and that could go on (especially after reading stuff about early concepts), but I thought: hey, that's gonna be our job, with really good fanfics. XD;;; The Zootopian world can take it, and leaves enough questions open where the answers which aren't hand-waving are usually far more interesting. If I wanted to I can write my own story in that world, with it's defined properties and themes, except e.g. with a touch of my favourite Blacksad-esque noir.**
I saw it again on my own, in my home roost, and I'm upgrading it to a 9/10.
(Stingy because no birds, scalies. Deal with it, nyah.)
I have a lot (A LOT JFC my Twitter is #furrytrash) of musings and future work to do thanks to this piece of moving art for the whole family (kids movie? it's an everyone movie) and I am so glad it exists and makes so many people happy and thoughtful.
* Okay, I don't have a suit, but I wore something like stripes and did a half-assed version of the tigers' little "biceps, sideways glance" heart-melter. I look more like a Clawhauser, though. I'm even a civil servant, hahaha.
** Totally hot for Red Soul, obviously. (OWL SINS) Intense headcanon: Gazelle's Glitter Tigers are Siberian, with hot Central Asian accents (and features), and one of them is a Pred Scare refugee nuclear/particle physicist and that's really fucking hot to me okay alright
