A well-written film perfect for nearly all age groups

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2016)

The animated film, Zootopia, is a heartwarming tale made to teach young audiences about the importance of acceptance, perseverance, and friendship in our society. Created by Walt Disney Animated Studios and featuring the voices of stars such as Jason Bateman and Idris Elba, the film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a bunny and a fox. The film is a much needed break if you are searching for an entertaining yet appropriate movie for both you and kids, then Zootopia would be a perfect choice for you. At first, the plot line of Zootopia may just like many other children's movies that have already been released. 'Two unlikely animals defy social stereotypes and become friends anyway' is something that both you and I have probably seen a million times before. But, when watching Zootopia, the plot is somehow completely different than things that I have seen before. Firstly, there are subtle references to popular culture, that most kids would generally not understand. The character Walter White, from Breaking Bad, was probably the most obvious one, probably included in order to keep adults and teenage generations interested. Secondly, the plot line is a bit more complex than many other children's movie, and the plot has much more to it than the relationship between the two friends. Plot twist, after plot twist, this movie has you thinking constantly, making the ending far from predictable. Overall, Zootopia is a great, inspiring movie that, although aimed toward younger generations, can be thoroughly enjoyed by people of all ages.
