Disney Animation Studios you've done it again!

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2016)

Everything this movie wants to do, it does and it does properly. Now going into Zootopia I had high expectations, I was still riding the Disney Animation fan bus that had recently impressed me so much with the likes of Big Hero 6 and Wreck it Ralph to name a few. And once again Disney nailed it out of the ballpark. This film follows a bunny working as a police officer in the metropolis of Zootopia, a city where all animals live together in harmony.... and I'll leave it there because this is undeniably a film that rewards you the less you know going into it.
As expected, Disney brings forth yet another BEAUTIFULLY animated movie with vibrant colors, distinct environments and smoothly animated sequences that managed to drop my jaw quite a few times. The story is deep without getting caught up in itself and the masterful writing is able to produce so many absolutely hilarious scenes; funny for both adults and children. As well it is able as explore mature topics that are very prevalent in our world today and it does so in a way that is so perfect it conveys its messages flawlessly without becoming dark, or losing its tone. The characters are incredibly well acted, especially from the likes of Jason Bateman as the suave Nick Wilde and Ginnifer Goodwin as Officer Judy Hopps, both of whom have great chemistry with each other making for superb dialogue between the two. Overall this film is so well made, it has a heartwarming, deep story full of laughs, it's animated superbly with great performances from its voice actors and it is definitely worth the watch. Truly up there with the best of Disney's animated movies.
