Zootopia is a fable set in a world where mammals have evolved into
an anthropomorphic society in which predators and prey live harmoniously
together. The city where this state is
fully realized is Zootopia – a play on the words “zoo” and “utopia” (as if it
wasn’t obvious already).
The plot centers on idealistic rookie
bunny cop Judy Hopps (Ginnefer Goodwin) as she takes on a missing person case
to prove her worth in the force. Given
only 48 hours to solve the case, Judy recruits a sly, hustling fox named Nick
Wilde (Jason Bateman) to help her. But
as they go deeper into their investigation, the unlikely partners would learn
that the case is more complicated than they’ve thought, as they discover harbored
secrets that can tear Zootopia apart.
Being a Disney animated film
production, I was expecting that this movie is going to be great – and it is! It’s tremendously fun and cleverly
written. It’s packed with hilarious and
witty gags that it had me in stitches for long stretches. The narrative is as vibrant and endearing as
its animation. Most importantly, its thoughtful messages about persevering for one’s dreams, overcoming
prejudiced stereotyping, and celebrating diversity hit home.
