Timely, Engaging, Elevated & Enlightening Entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2016)

To say that the Theme and Message of this Disney Animated Movie is "Taken from Today's Headlines", as the Movie's of Yesteryear did Frequently, is an Understatement. This Delightful, Suspenseful, and Thrilling Kids/Adults Entertainment is anything but Subtle in its Attempt to Enlighten.
Mission Accomplished. This is a Wow-Full Wonderful Alternate Reality of Anthropomorphic Predator-Prey Mammals Living, Working, Side by Side in a Relatively Peaceful City called "Zootopia".
While it's a Near-Utopian Place, it is Not Perfect and therein lies the Suspenseful and Unusual (for an Animation), Dramatic Plot with Homages to Film-Noir, Gangster Movies, Cutting Edge TV Shows and More.
Cute as a Bunny, and She is one, Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) has Dreams of being the First Rabbit to become a Police Officer and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), Sly as a Fox, and He is one, Team Up to Solve a Missing Person's Case and as these things Tend to Go, find Themselves Embroiled in Mystery, Danger, and Intrigue.
Using Their Wits Combined with Bravado and Determination, They Traverse a Landscape of Animated Art that is Stunning and Foreboding. The Movie Tests the Edges of Childhood Innocence and Maturity of the Younger Audience but Never Crosses the Line of Good Taste and Challenges rather than Intimidates the Child Viewers.
It can Stimulate Thought about an Unfortunate Situation that the Real World Experience asks Them to Confront and Contemplate.
Overall, Disney Bounces Back from the Lackluster and Lame "Big Hero 6" (2014) with this Excellent and Majestic Picture that is Up There with 'Inside Out" (2015) taking the Animated Film to Another Dimension of Diverse and thoroughly Engaging Entertainment.
