Absolutely beautiful.

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2016)

When you see the famous animation of Disney mascot Mickey Mouse before a movie begins, you know it's going to be good, and like many of Pixar's latest, Zootropolis does not fail to impress.
In short, Zootropolis is about the inventively named bunny cop Judy Hopps, whose unfailing determination to become a fully-fledged officer sees her finding a position in the city from which the film gains its title.
It is here that the main plot, which deals with some rather impressive themes such as prejudice, discrimination, and the social divide between predator and prey (likely a facsimile for the apartheid between black and white skinned people in 1960s America, or, a more modern example, the tension dividing Muslims and non-Muslims in modern society), begins.
That is not to say that the entire movie is heavy, or that it is unfit for children. Like many of the recent Pixar masterpieces, it has the genius of hiding lessons like these; important messages that hold true meaning in the real world; in plain sight.
This means that adults will see these deeply-embedded references and relate, thinking back with thoughts of "I remember when the world was like that" - an olden voice reminiscing from within, while kids enjoy the movie for the cute, lovable characters and witty, humorous dialogue.
Speaking of humor, this film most certainly has a lot to boot. Nearly every scene will have you roaring with laughter, or at the very least, sporting a merry grin, especially in the scenes containing co-star Jason Bateman's Nick Wilde - devious fox con-artist, between whom and Hopps, some of the most entertaining one-liners in the movie will pass.
This movie also has one of the best plots seen in recent movie years. The plots' many twists and turns will have you clinging for dear life to the edge of your popcorn-spattered seat as Hopps and Wilde chase leads across all four districts of Zootropolis, from frozen tundra to mist-enveloped mountaintops, and from sprawling metropolis to desolate jungle, each new location will definitely have you enticed.
While I cannot force you to take out your wallet and cough up a handful of cash to watch this movie, I would thoroughly recommend that you do. Between the witty dialogue, the riveting plot, and the beautiful animation that makes you almost feel like you really are there, in the midst of the action, I can dutifully inform you that you will not regret your decision.
