Excellent and Refreshing Movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2016)

Zootopia is a great political piece, and its message is deep and nuanced. The animals prevent there from being any perfect parallels (intentionally) to racism, sexism, etc and exaggerates some details. The film presents both an idealized (Judy) and pessimistic (Nick) perspective. The general message it sends is our social issues are as complex as the people they involve... we are all imperfect, we all have limitations, and in the end the best we can do is try. Its a message that struck me as I hope it will strike you, and I appreciated its light-hearted delivery. It doesn't make you laugh to tears, nor will it make you cry, but it is an uplifting and moving film that I hope you will watch and enjoy!
