Zootopia
Dir. Byron Howard and Rich Moore
It is rare for me to come out of a movie theater and have a solid and definitive opinion about a film. I usually try to think it over and play it back a little in my head to find all of the intricate parts that made the film that way. However, as soon as "Zootopia" was over, I knew instantly that not only was this one of the years best movies but also one of the best Disney animated films ever made.
The story may seem basic as it plays like a normal buddy cop film but there is a lot more to it that not only kids but also adults can relate to and become emotionally involved in. It deals with stereotypes and prejudice that isn't forceful or overdramatic and instead the themes naturally evolve through the characters and story as it should. Judy Hopps wants to just be the best cop she can be but others around her only see the shortcomings and not her true potential and the same goes for her unlikely partner, Nick Wilde, a con artist fox and together, they have to solve a missing persons case. The voice acting and animation is, as usual, fantastic but the design of the characters and world is what makes this more outstanding and awe-inspiring than Big Hero 6 or, dare I say it, Inside Out. Its a very immersive experience. Overall, Zootopia has an amazing story, amazing characters, amazing animation, and is just an amazing film. Walt Disney Animation Studios has entered another renaissance and this film is prove positive.
