Description Zootopia simply screams creativity. My jaw dropped when I saw the CG on our main hero, Judy Hopps. The introduction train scene alone is among the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in a CG Movie.Β 
Perhaps it's because I myself worked my butt off to try and get into the police service for a couple of years, but I found myself completely falling into Judy's struggle in the big city struggling to adapt to her role as a police officer, despite the heavy pregidous around her.

But this brings me to my only real gripe. And it's a relatively small one. The strong anti-pregidous message does feel very relevant right now (you can probably guess what USA political candidate I'm thinking of), but I personally found it a little ham-handed by the time Judy begging an apology to our other main character Nicke.

The voice acting is pitch-perfect for the roles. Judy and Nicke feel like very real characters. Judy feels like the optimistic justice-driven young police recruit while Nicke feels very much like the jaded con-man. Their meeting and friendship feels very organic too (it doesn't happen overnight, in fact they start by hating each other). Visually this is simply a masterpiece to watch unfold. The action scenes are amazing ranging from tiny people worlds to pouring rain werewolf battles.. And without giving anything away, a really unexpected twist in the final battle with two unlikely fighters turned on one another.

Call me predictable but Judy really was my favourite character. She was so damned likable, well-meaning and driven to do the right thing, I was immediately rooting for her to crack the case.

Also, did anyone else notice that Dawn Bellweather (the assistant sheep) has the Trump hair? Maybe it's just me but I definitely thought they might've done that on purpose.. Made me chuckle at the end heh.

Bellwether does NOT have Trump hair. What gave you that idea? This movie was in progress way before the election.

I really liked Zootopia, though for some reason I found myself enjoying monster's university more.
It did feel a little preachy, but saying that, I liked how Judy didn't get an easy ride just because she is a rabbit
She had to prove herself, just like everyone else.
And using the strengths she has, pushed herself forward.

Also I like the rumors of a darker political message inside of Zootopia.Β 

EDIT: I think I know why I liked Monster's university more! Zootopia had too many trailers, and I found myself watching lots of scenes from the movie
before I saw it >.<.

I agree with you, but to me, I didn't feel anything preachy in this one. But speaking of that, along with The Secret Life of Pets, The Young Messiah, Sing, Captain America Civil War, and Moana, it's the best in 2016. Hope the sequel isn't too bad.

my only problem with the film is they world of Zootopia itself wasn't explored enough. While it's beautiful, we don't see a whole lot of it.

I fucking love this movie, it is funny and it actually did prejudice properly even better than full on adult movies. It does not do the white man is evil bullshit and shows it goes both ways. It has great characters and it is flat out hilarious and has great satire. As for them hitting you over the head with the moral, I think sadly it is necessary and at least they did put a twist in the misunderstanding Cliche, it felt very real and I like how it shows even nice tolerant people can have prejudices thoughts. Also this universe they made I actually wan tto see expanded upon and honestly if they idd it justice I would be up for a Zootopia TV show

my only problem is the villain. Putting her in at the last second was a poor choice. Really wished she actually has some character development instead of being evil in the last 10 minutes

9/10

Agreed, I wish they would have done more for Dawn Bellwether instead of making her look like she's just evil and power hungry for the sake of it, without any real explanation or a real backstory like the main characters. Something just tells me her story is far from finished, and that her reasons behind her actions may possibly be that she was once a victim of prejudice, bullying, and abuse herself, blinding her vision that all predators were her enemies, fearing them herself that she had nobody to turn to for support, comfort, and encouragement like Judy did. Either that, or she may be a pawn in someone else's game, since there were so many unanswered questions happening after the conference meeting.

I didn't love Zootopia, personally, I find Wreck-it Ralph better, Zootopia was really overhyped, but it did have good characters and an okay story.

I kind of agree. Zootoptia is good but I wouldn't say it's that great.Β  It does have a good message and great CGIΒ though I felt some of the jokes in the film felt pretty weak. I'm kind one of the people that didn't really laugh at the sloth gag, and even when watching the trailer I felt the nudist scene was a bit cringe worthy(That's probably why this movie got a PG rating). Though after looking at some of the fan art based on the nudist scene, it manages to makeΒ anthropomorphic animals look... sexy.Β Besides most of my hype for a Disney film was going to The Jungle Book. Though I would take that hype over Frozen's hype any day.

I do like it, besides like doesn't necessarily mean that I didn't like it. Besides I still find it a good movie, but not as much as other people make it out to be. Though you do remind me of myself. Besides I did remember being a bit like that with me complaining on some critics opinions.
