I was very excited to see Zootopia because I had hear great things about it. Sadly, this movie was a huge disappointment. The theme of accepting people regardless of any preconceived biases is a good lesson, but it could have been done so much better with much more impactful characters. Plus I really don't understand why any of the writers didn't catch that they are basically promoting the idea that when a cop does something, it is okay and justified but if a regular person does it, it is wrong and they should be punished. They joke that the well-known con character in the film (the fox) should be a cop because he is so sly and good at getting information from people. The rabbit even uses the same exact tactics that the fox does, but this is never addressed as being wrong. She breaks into an area where she would like to search (but does not have a warrant), she then says its okay because she has "probable cause." I was waiting for the movie to get to the part where she realizes she is using her badge to break the law and that makes her no better than the "criminals" she deals with. Not to mention, for a film preaching acceptance and not judging people by their appearance, they have some pretty black and white characters (especially their criminals). I don't recommend this to anyone and I don't understand why this movie was even made. Not fun for me, definitely don't see how a kid would enjoy this poorly constructed waste of time.
