Pixar does it again! "Zootopia" rocks!

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2016)

So I was in theaters and had the choice of watching this or "Gods of Egypt". It really wasn't a hard decision, mainly because I was getting tired of the overly CGI with live action spectacle. And because I thoroughly enjoy most Walt Disney Animation Studios movies since 2007. In this case, this film really beat my expectations. I really didn't know much about this movie besides the facts that it revolves around talking animals. Kind of like "Madagascar", except this film is much better than "Madagacar" or "Ice Age" in my own opinion. This really does touch base with today's ideology and philosophy with the right tone. When it comes to the setting it takes place in a environment where all the animals try to live in harmony while living there lives like regular day to day human beings. Except they still have certain animal attributes and characteristics because they are still animals. And the main plot revolves around a bunny rabbit named Judy Hopps who always dreamed of becoming a cop and playing a part in making the world a better place. So she enters the police force and later teams up with a fox named Nick Wild. Who is actually a bit of a con artist and a hustler. The thing is Hopps is put down on the force for being a rabbit and people don't really trust Nick Wild because he is a fox. So that label just sticks with them and brings them down throughout the movie. I however really liked the chemistry of these two characters, it was cute and I enjoyed the banter between the two. Because of the clever quirky and snappy dialogue. It's like hearing the dialogue for "500 Days of Summer" except it's aimed for the whole family. So yeah, the interaction and chemistry between the two leads is actually better than some adult films out there because it's so well written. I really didn't expect this movie to be a buddy cop movie, which either is a hit or a miss and I will say this is a big hit. Anyways they are both put in a situation where they try to solve a kidnapping case that goes deeper and deeper as the story progresses. Like I said the chemistry between the main two leads is fantastic. One is a super idealist and the other is a skeptic, one has the heart and a good mindset while the other has the street smart but they are both clever in there own way. This film really resonated with me and the endearing moments actually got to me. I just didn't expect this film to be all that deep until I saw it. In fact I think this film will resonate more with adults than kids. Mainly because of certain jokes, references such as modern culture and mindset, certain messages and etc. Which will just blow right past most kid audiences. And I really liked the messages in this movie, it's something I put a lot of thought of in the past and something I could resonate with. It's something that I think everyone should apply in there lives instead of acting like a heard of sheeps. But whatever floats each others boat. However I do think this film will boost furry fandom to another level. I really can't see any flaws with this film except maybe the pacing is slightly slow at times, but I don't even think that should even be a gripe. It's just me probably being picky. The build up is good and I actually cared about the characters and the situations. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I would highly recommend it.
Some may say this movie is a bit too idealistic. But I just recently finished the 5th season of "Game of Thrones" which basically deals with constant skepticism, assumptions, hubris ramblings and betrayal. That there is a motive for EVERYTHING! So this film was refreshing to me, mainly because it balances out the idealistic thoughts and rationality. That sometimes following your heart might not be enough to lead to the right destination. And that a balance of both is needed sometimes, which I agree with.
10/10
