Good deliverance, bad idea

Rating: 3/10 (23 May 2016)

One thing has to be said about this Disney piece: it is propaganda. Yes, you read right. This is the right name for when a false idea is presented as 100% truth. In this case, nobody even tries to hide it. It has 'utopia' in its very name.
That said, I have to admit that it is pretty well delivered. Great animation (*), decent story(*), nice dialogue(*) and probably a crazy budget. Everything you need. Hence my 3 stars. If only I wasn't so annoyed after watching it with my kid!
Now, obviously this was made with children in mind, and so the tendency to present the world in pink light is not a bad idea. "Zootopia", however, takes it to the extreme and beyond. It sells a lie. It is, in fact, a metaphor of a liberal, multi-culture mix of society, where everybody should turn the other cheek, be politically correct and accept/tolerate just about everything. Just because tolerance is such a nice word. And because the predators can be tamed. And learn to eat carrots.
Well, reality check. They can't. Both in reality and in metaphor.
So, unless you wish to start brainwashing your children's really early, I suggest you wait and let them choose their political affiliation a little later.
