Great movie about dreams, prejudices and minorities! Don't get fooled by the trailers and posters believing this movie is "only" a children's comedy, it's also deep, political and moving.
This is possibly the most socially relevant children's film ever made. It was like watching a 2 hour repudiation of the Trump Campaign. I am so glad that this film exists.
The completely delightful Zootopia creates a world of cartoon mammals where, long ago, predators and prey buried the hatchet in the name of civilization. Lots of world-building backgrounds a story that's by turns uproariously funny, sweet and touching, and exciting like the best buddy cop movies are. And surprisingly complex in its politics. Because at first, it seems to be about sexism in the workplace, with a (female) bunny wanting to join the police force even though it's normally populated by "tough" animals like rhinos and bears. Her struggles are ones we recognize. But then it turns even more into a repudiation of the politics of hate by making the characters and audience assume the predators are committing crimes based on a biological imperative, and it's suddenly also about racism, both subtle and overt. In the end, we're left with this year's Inside Out, a beautiful-looking animated fable about the dilemmas of our time, set in a fascinating fantasy world you want to visit again.
Great movie.
I love how the idea of diversity and tolerance is conveyed through the animal characters.
Key ideas:
Dream big. Try everything. Everyone can become anything. Let's make world a better place. Courage, friendship.
Excellent Movie, very likeable characters and of course amazing animation/graphics.
Whilst the plot itself is fairly simplistic and easily unravelled, it has great depth and strong social agendas in amongst the multi-layered, Disney loveiness.
