I thought it was pretty good. A fun buddycop movie with well-executed references. But then, I'm a sucker for puns and play-on-words, and this movie is full of them. It is also ridiculously cute. Easily as good as Tangled, if not better.

Saw it last weekend, I think it was the first Disney CGI film I saw that didn't turn to shit around the second act or the first 5 mins. Good job!

Does the film really show "lowering standards in the name of diversity only worsens prejudice"? If so, kudos to Disney.

Spoiler: sorta

One of the themes of the movie is that certain species are suitable for certain work. The main character is the first rabbit police officer in a department filled with big animals: rhinos, elephants, large predators, etc. The chief is a water buffalo and doesn't take her seriously and neither does anyone else. The only reason she got on the force in the first place is the mayor's "Mammal Inclusion Initiative" - and doing really well at the academy. So she earned her spot, but her size is a definite disadvantage and portrayed as such but not in a debilitating way - she's demonstrated throughout the movie that she can overcome the limitation placed on her by her size with creativity. And she doesn't expect anyone to cater to it.

The movie's point is that anyone can try to do anything and that you definitely should try to be what you want to be, but know your limits and if you want to do something really hard that might not be the best fit for you, you may have to work extra hard or be extra creative to accomplish it and put up with people not taking you seriously. You may, also, fail.

Just saw the movie. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Spoiler

I wasn't expecting the movie to go THAT deep into the racism and prejudice angle. I honestly thought it was only going to lightly touch upon that stuff and everything else was just going to be dumb puns and animal jokes. (Which the movie did do, but not to an excessive extent) And yet it was handled in a way that's both mature and something kids could understand.

The themes are also central to the development of the main characters. Now, from my experience, a lot of these kinds of stories has a main character who is discriminated against. But he or she herself is usually open minded and accepting. Judy on the other hand is pretty guilty of the same kind of stereotyping and racism that's pushed onto her. It's handled in a pretty subtle way as well, from her (hesitantly) grabbing the fox spray before leaving for work and suspecting Nick of wrong doing as soon as she saw him. That was really something I felt added to their interactions and the movie as a whole.

And I kinda like how there are different sections of Zootopia to accommodate each and every animal. i.e. A rain forest section, an arctic section, ect. I thought that was a very nice touch.

I also love the little Breaking Bad references towards the end. Nice touch guys. Kinda funny as I was wearing a Breaking Bad t-shirt when I saw it.

I do have to wonder how Nick was able to become a cop despite the fact that he evaded his taxes. I was kinda hoping they'd bring that up again, but they never did. Eh, whatevs.

It was overall an entertaining and surprisingly deep and well thought out film. Well, at least for a kid's film it is.

So yeah, go see it when you have the chance. I recommend it. I honestly wasn't expecting the movie to be good. (In fact I thought it was going to be an absolute cringe fest) Thankfully, I was proven wrong.

So, I finally got around to watching it yesterday, and let's just say it gave me faith in Disney again. For the first time in a long time it feels they convayed a message extremely subtely and tryed to mold the movie for a more adult audience, and actually succeeded.

Congrats guys, you really deserve it.

As a general rule of thumb, I hate watching cartoons but I took a chance on Zootopia and I must say that was one of the better movies I've seen in theaters in quite some time. Animated or live action.

I also would not say the film said lowering standards to increase diversity only worsens prejudice.

Spoiler

Without the inclusion program Judy never gets hired. Without Judy's detective work the plot of the assistant mayor would have never been exposed. The bigger message to me was, "if you want to do a job where you will have a decided disadvantage be prepared to work hard be persistent and have some other skill on hand to make up for your deficit."

Saw it with my friends - terrific movie and I'd totally see it again. Nick is the best.

So, apparently all of the actors and the directors are clamoring for a sequel. Not really surprised.

They said they would have a Frozen sequel, but look where that got them.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

• Zootopia actually set a new record for Disney's biggest opening weekend, beating Frozen's $67.4 million with $73.7 million
  
  also the Koreans on Twitter are fucking obsessed with shipping the fox and the rabbit
  
  

  Spoiler

  that being said, i loved the movie. definitely one of my favorites. also that Breaking Bad reference towards the end made me crack up

  I'm pretty sure anyone with a pulse shipped the fox and the rabbit. Also, this fanart showed up in my twitter feed and amused the shit out of me for some reason.

Spoiler

I thought that the government didn't know that he was working without reporting his income and that the only evidence was Judy's recording of him saying so, which she deleted.

Nah, I was just being dumb. I thought it'd be funny if the Farms' biggest furfag gave it a "mehhh".

Saw it with my better half and we both enjoyed it greatly. Reminded us of when we had first met and were shyly watching Robin Hood on an awkward house date a long, long time ago.

That is...a lot of information.
