Zootopia (2016) Unexpectedly Amazing.

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2017)

When 2016 came around, everyone was excited for Disney's Moana. It was supposed to be the next Frozen, critically acclaimed, winning a ton of awards, and being beloved by everyone. Nobody really cared for the other film coming out first, Zootopia, and many thought it was a joke. Surprisingly, while Moana only received a lukewarm reception, Zootopia became a worldwide sensation, coming very close to Frozen. Zootopia is a wonderful film that tells the story of a young rabbit named Judy Hopps as she tries to solve a serious chase that could mean the end of her career as a cop. With a fast talking fox named Nick Wilde, Judy uncovers a dark secret that could change her world as she knows it. The setup seems silly at first, but the film delivers with strong characters and a meaningful plot that puts forth a discussion about prejudice, and what we can do to change this attitude. Zootopia easily stole the show away from Moana, and is a film that should be cherished.
