Zootopia
A hugely entertaining, Pixar-level effort from Disney Animation
April 14, 2016
Diminutive Judy Hopps (voice by Ginnifer Goodwin) aspires to be the first bunny cop in the great city of Zootopia. Despite being relegated to meter maid duty, she finds an unlikely ally in Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a street-hustler fox, in investigating a series of mysterious disappearances.
This hugely entertaining Pixar-level effort from Disney Animation contains a great non-preachy message of inclusivity and multiculturalism for kids, and plenty of sly one-liners and sight gags for parents. It’s so vibrantly realized, with such exhaustive background detail, that it may require a second viewing. (108 min)
