Obligatory Zootopia Journal
10 years ago
General
So I finally saw Zootopia last night and let me just say: I loved it!
By know every artful and analytical review has been made already so I'll just throw in a few spoiler free comments.
For starters, all those previously mentioned reviews are right; For a kids movie, by Disney no less, they did an amazing job discussing issues that correlate to our world but fortunately weren't so ham-fisted about it. Namely I like how they showed that everyone, even good people can have prejudices but that doesn't make you a bad person, it's letting those notions blind you to others or letting them control you that are bad.
Also I of course loved the beautiful detail they took in the world building. From the amazing detail of creating different functioning ecosystems to the punny names and references sprinkled throughout. There were even a few great shout outs you wouldn't expect in a kids movie. (Seriously, a Breaking Bad reference in a Disney movie?) And in retrospect I totally did not see the ending coming.
On a minor personal note I was a little worried about that scene with the wolves (for obvious reasons). Things worked out though.
Oh, and of course: Stupid sexy tiger dancers!
