Zootopia

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2016)

I heard a lot of great things about this movie, not only from the critics or this website but also from some of my friends living abroad and who had the chance to see this movie weeks before me.
So when it was finally released over here, I wanted to look by myself alongside one of my friends and her two children. And I loved it too.
The first thing to say is Zootopia is a typical Disney Movie. It has this fairy side we find in each of their pictures, symbolized by this huge metropolis called Zootopia. It's a magical combination of several worlds connected to each other where animals of each sort, preys as predators, live in harmony and peace which is by the way another favorite Disney Theme.
It has also this huge dose of cuteness throughout the characters of the movie starting with Judy, this cute young doe which wishes to be the first of her kind becoming a police officer. Something she succeeds to achieve through hard work and dedication, another familiar Disney theme (You can achieve anything if you believe in yourself). The other characters are as attaching especially Flash, a very funny sloth who is really irresistible in each scene he appears. Nick, Judy's partner is as adorable as her under his attitude of a tough guy is secretly hiding a fear of being rejected because he's a fox.
But there is also something new, something we never see in a Disney cartoon before: The police investigation side. It's unexpectedly thrilling with its very noire ambiance, its characters scarier than usual but which still includes a certain sense of parody. As it's a Disney movie, nobody dies but it's still thrilling following Judy and Nick into their investigation which is very well built. I truly hope this side will be including in the next Disney movies.
When the movie was finally over, I had a very great time and judging by how my friend's children were cheering and wishing to become cops when they'll be older, I can safely assume they did as well. It deserves the rave reviews it received worldwide. Zootopia is definitely a great surprise and a picture to see if you wish to enjoy an amazing family time.
