lousy script, horrible soundtrack and all too clichÃ©

Rating: 1/10 (21 June 2016)

I decided to watch this Disney's movie for it seems to have an original scenario with a mesmerizing visual. It is a beautiful movie to watch and quite entertaining for the first 30 minutes. But then it ceased to be watchable with all the old clichÃ©s recycled by Disney, not to mention the horrible soundtrack.
It is no doubt an allegory of the modern world, the all too American city with an all too American dream, struggling to deal with its own diversity. Only, in this scenario, the diversity is oversimplified for the benefit of young minds: there are predators and there are preys. Predators traditionally eat preys, we get that. Somehow the civilized world infused with an American dream "Yes, we can." has tamed all the individuals within the predatory species. There's still crime, though, that's why Bunny needs to become a police officer.
An ode to tolerance and respect of diversity gone terribly wrong: we learn that being bad has nothing to do with your DNA, nor the fact of being good has anything to do with your upbringing or experience. Then we have to agree that to make the world a better place we need to accept that status quo while trying as hard as one could to succeed within that frame. Fighting for the weak 99%, we have to accept that the 1% is not inherently bad.
Oh wait, who is this 1% ? They're the powerful (lion mayor), but also the prejudiced (foxes). They're the privileged, but also the criminals. On the other hand, preys are all underprivileged and struggling to gain some power; they are nevertheless the ones to whom the message is directed: prejudices come from them too and THAT could make everyone worse off.
Predators do not have to work for a better world, all they have to do is to accept that preys could do things, too, only preys have to succeed far better than any predator ever could given the same circumstances or the same DNA...
It makes me want to reply to that: We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
