Zootopia

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.

Ananimated moviethat combines adult life with an animal life intended for children. Zootopia is cute, kind, funny and here and there, there’s a stellar joke for the adults watching, because the universe brings us true gifts every other day. I even think that the sloths at the DMV were probably the best scene I’ve ever seen in a 3D-animated movie. However, at the same time, it still maintains a pleasant, cute and childish wit that the even children will appreciate. Zootopia was simply a success. (25/11/2016)

What good animated entertainment should primarily be based on, i.e. a playful and colourful alternative to the real world and its social rules, here is brought to perfection, or very close to it. Starring animals of all kinds, it fits the classic buddy movie motifs and mystery detective plot far better than any human crew in the golden era of the genre. Perfect setting, witty personifications of the characters and projection of their characteristics into the cycle of city life (the sloths at the DMV office are AWESOME), a fresh soundtrack and a bunch of hilarious references to famous films. Surprisingly serious at times, applying a bit of lowbrow clichés and family cartoon sentiment, but mostly a joy to watch – a sequel is a must, preferably with Shane Black on board ;) 85% (11/05/2016)

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)

An excellent detective movie with a social overlap, beautifully reflecting prejudices, bullying and media manipulation as well. Who cares if a fox and a rabbit are in the main roles. Old fables in a new format. First-rate action, humorous word duels, hilarious gags to entertain both kids and adults. I admit that my kids sat there gobsmacked by some of the darker scenes that are quite serious for a kids movie, but still it’s good that they are shown some of the down-sides of globalization. A wonderful world, classic music and, is it just me, or did else notice some small tributes to The Last Scout? (25/03/2016)
