Zootopia

My child self had a wonderful day today! This is thanks to the amazing city of Zootropolis, which is full of cute animals of different sizes and personalities. It makes me so happy that someone can come up with something so magical and play with every little detail. In short, it's an incredibly uplifting film with an upbeat soundtrack that makes you want to dance and scream "I can do it!" when you don't even know what it is you can do. So if you need to recharge your batteries or at least get a taste of that childlike enthusiasm again for a few minutes, go check it out. 5 stars. How about making a whole movie about the sloths? :) (03/07/2016)

Animated films are one of my lesser favourites and I watched Zootopia before I knew anything about it, and this nearly-billion dollar hit and is indeed a success even for me. The film isn't so much for the little ones, it is a colourful whodunit driven by buddy humour and full of references to better known films that smaller children certainly won't get. It has amazing pacing, beautiful animation, literally breathtaking, all the details and animals look wonderful – the central duo is excellent: the rabbit is hilarious, the fox is properly cunning and smart. And on top fo that, the frequent twists are very unexpected and intelligent. Who knew that underneath the animated veneer was such a polished film that also tackles world issues like bullying and racism. The scene with the sloth is the highlight of the film !!! :) 100% (25/05/2016)

The 55th Disney Feature Film. The combination of Disney and a town full of critters generates absolute yummy cuteness. They work with 3D animation long enough for you to enjoy the whole film and in the meantime just suppress the urge to stroke the main character. Judy Hopps could compete with all those friends from the touching story about Bambi. And that's saying something. (31/01/2020)

This is the best human rights agitprop, and I only take issue with the creative cowardice regarding the fundamental moral issue of predator eating habits. Otherwise, it is in all respects an absolutely fantastic crime film, a top-notch buddy movie, a dynamic action ride, and an all-round reference (Jesse and Walter are amazing!) containing a spectacle that will define the term "feel good" for a long time to come.

A crime movie in the style of Shane Black :-). The sloths made me laugh like nothing in the past few years has done. I literally cried. The animals look super cute and there’s a bunch of playful details and apt references to the real human world as well as to classic movies. Moreover, the film has an additional message for today’s Europe that its makers probably didn’t even intend to send. I won’t add a fifth star only because the idea behind Zootopia is not as strong as in Inside Out. Zootopia is “only” perfect fun. (29/03/2016)
