Zootopia (2016)

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Disney have created a MASTERPIECE here! Literally! The movie is awesome! Honestly no description needed watch it for yourself! You will know what I mean!

Five minutes into this movie, and I've already had a feeling I'm being brainwashed with a hose, and I simply wanted something easy and entertaining to watch...Okay, here we go. First of all, I really enjoy all this hypocrisy. I find it deliciously entertaining. We have a protagonist, who chose a very specific field of work, and it's not only about making the others obey the law and/ or authority. First of all things it requires a very strict obedience and subordination, AND our dumb fluffy hero thinks it works only one way. She's better than that, she shouldn't do her job because she knows better. *applauds* Cartman's 'Respect my authoritah!' line should be somewhere within this movie's logic.We have several absolutely Mary-Sue/ Deus ex Machina moments. The worst of them all is when protagonist's about to get fired, expectedly, but some random sheep saves her fluffy tail. Next time - Nick interferes with pretty much the same result. Seriously? It's between her and her superior, who's Nick? Is it a common practice out there for complete strangers to step in the job issues discussions and twist them the way they want? I dare you to moralize this. Refuse to do the assigned job, insist on special treatment right from the doorstep, think you're better than the tasks that have to be done by someone (not you, apparently), and there would certainly be a miracle saving you from ending up in a dumpster? Gimme a break! I'd certainly love a noir-esque twist Disney would probably implement for sure if it was several decades ago - ending up jobless, homeless, too stubborn to crawl back to the farm, despair deepens and forges the character. This would make this movie so better. Instead of this we are encouraged being irresponsible. Great morals out there, someone _else_ would always speak up to _your_ superior. No, kids, that's not what happens in life, it's your job, your superior, you deal with it, no tasks are below you, AND you're responsible.Next. We have the whole movie attacking our ears with cheesy lines against the prejudice based on *species*, but it turns out, it only is applicable to the protagonist (better than thou, right). All side characters are so stereotypical and one-dimensional based on their species I wonder if it's far beyond the 'racist' line.I must say, once the movie gets past the Mary-Sue part, it gets slightly better, I won't even spoil that. Too bad the better part is relatively short.Now, let me see what we got left after all this PC BS had been peeled off. Nowhere near classics, an okay-animation, nothing breathtaking, compared to some stuff released around 25 years ago, average plot and even more mediocre story development. Exaggerated grimaces, getting worse with every movie, but of course, how do people know 'emotions' if they aren't expressed in such distorted way? Painfully predictable and passing, which is certainly a waste of opportunity, since this setting could've been made a better place (ironic, huh?). If you can turn your brain PC receiver off, it's fine to watch once, without expecting much, otherwise - beware of Brainwashing Hose of Hypocrisy!

The best scene in the movie is the godfather scene.. simply fantastic

It's a really good movie for family's to watch. Does get dragged a long a bit but it has a great plot and good, fun characters and good acting. I recommend it
