Disney at its best-Zootopia the Disney fairy tale

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2016)

Love it. Let me just be honest and say it is the best Disney movie ever since the lion king in the 90s. The first trailer did not raise much attention although I liked the idea behind the set up. The guys and gals from Disney animation studio did their best in creating such a live and vivid universe where civilized animals live together in harmony. There is reference and hidden easter-eggs everywhere and I recommend you watch some YouTube analysis after seeing the movie if you really liked it.
So for a Disney movie to be successful, it has to have three key elements. A lovable leading character, a bad guy and an upbeat theme song. "big hero 6" "frozen" and even "wreck-it ralph" all had it. Zootopia had it all and more. One of the things I personally love about Zootopia is that nobody needs to die to put set the good guy/gal backwards (rest in peace Hiro and parents of Anna and Elsa). I mean, it is good for a twist and all but I wish I can get a good movie without sacrificing anyone. This maybe a bad thing for an Oscar-pursuing movie but it is totally fine with a Disney fairy tale. Zootopia fulfilled my wish. The movie itself just radiates positive energy every scene it goes because, well, it is a fairy tale after all.
One of the best scenes I love is when Judy the bunny first arrives in Zootopia and hopping to the beats of the theme song "try everything"(you all seen it in the trailer). It just kept playing over and over after I saw the movie. Judy is such a lovable character that you can easily relate to. You genuinely hope she success in her career and being a Disney production means you know she is going to be. Some may say the plot itself is flawed and no one can reach success so quickly. I would say why not, it is a Disney fairy tale and even in reality this could totally happen.
Great plot with little bit twist, amazing voice cast, and stunning picture. Zootopia has all the basics of being a great animation feature film.
Another thing Zoopopia aces at is that all its characters who got a line are so vivid. From the police chef "I don't care" Bogo to the typical politician type mayor Lionheart. The main characters aside, I love Mr. Big the most cause he sure is the god father and he never really "iced" anyone, at least not in the movie.
For those who rate it 1 star, come on! It is not a documentary, or a sci-fi or even a drama, certainly not a dark comedy aiming to reflect on our society. It is a fairy tale trying to bring you joy and hope and cheer you up. Reality might be cruel and we might lose faith in what we do after a few set-backs. Maybe the next time you are in trouble or feeling the world is against you, tune in "try everything" and picture the first day of Judy in Zootopia, it may not solve your problem but sure will give you the courage to face it.
It is going to be a big year for long animation feature films. We got finding dory and the secret life of pets lined up ahead and Zootopia set a real high bar. It is going be great year for animation lovers.
