A steady delivery from Disney yet again

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2016)

I've always admired the Disney films, from the very first of Snow white and the seven dwarfs to their latest instalment of Zootopia. It has a red thread, a theme and vibrant humour throughout the entire film, and it keeps on those values from start to finish.
Judy Hopps is a bunny with dreams, big dreams, as she's a bunny with the dreams of becoming an officer, which no bunny has ever been. Despite everyone's attempts of keeping her from it, she goes through it. As an officer, she's looked down at, until she lands her first case, and inadvertently her first "partner" in the sly fox Nick Wilde. And together the unlikely partners (despite the fox' will) starts pulling the strings together of the mysterious case of the missing animals of Zootopia.
The story isn't sophisticated, but then again, no story from Disney is. This isn't "The usual suspects" or "Lucky number slevin", but it is a good story and there are some strong themes around prejudice and reaching for your dreams, regardless of what others say. The animations are superb as always, the music lively and the soundscape amazing. The details are good as well, from the long delivery tube to get the coffee delivered to the giraffe to the entire city block dedicated to rodents, there are details all over the place. The creators went to great lengths to make sure Zootopia as a diverse city, stood out as one. I can highly recommend this film to kids and adults alike. If you're a fan of Disney films - like me - then this film isn't a disappointment, and delivers that Disney magic that we've all come to love from over 70 years of their works.
