expect the unexpected

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2016)

Rate: 9 out of 10
This movie is not really what Is expected. Based on previews and trailers, I assumed it would be a lame kids movie that I would see my 6 year old sister watching. After the first few minutes I was intrigued. Some of my favorite parts were the reference to the classic 1972 film "The Godfather". I also like how this movie is packed with life lessons. This is usually the norm for Disney movies but this one brings an interesting point considering its only animals. Without giving to much away, this film basically teaches you to chase your dreams no matter who tells you its unattainable. To live your life free and to be open to different cultures and experiences. This movie has a great theme and story line. Its easy to stay with and an overall enjoyable film for the entire family. If there was one thing in this movie that I could change, it would most likely be giving the main character Judy Hopps at least one person that believed in her. She had not a single person in her corner until the movie progresses.
Some significant cinematography were close ups and aerial shots when Judy begins to spy on her witness. Scenes that start behind the shoulder just as seen in the godfather. Some Diegetic sound is incorporated, especially in the opening credits and the scene where the animal citizens get of the train in Zootopia.
