Ginnifer Goodwin voices the character of Judy Hopps, a perky rabbit who has a dream of becoming a police officer in Zootopia. In Zootopia, all animals–both prey and predictors–live in peace. In a world populated by anthropomorphic mammals, there is crime. When 14 animals disappear, Judy Hopps follows the clues to discover the plot behind the kidnappings. Jason Bateman voices Nick Wilde, a red fox con artist. Their relationship, the dynamics of various animal groups, and the message of most Disney films (“We must all work together”) could have veered into mawkishness. But Zootopia brings its animated characters to life on the screen. The mystery is clever, too. I really liked this surprising hit. GRADE: A
We were going to see this just before we left Florida but got too busy. Glad you liked it. I love the scene with the sloth.
Jeff, I love the sloth in ZOOTOIA, too. It’s a very clever animated movie!
For some reason this movie scared Kevin. So did the last Muppet movie and yet he can watch THE AVENGERS, AGE OF ULTRON and not flinch. I don’t get it.
Patti, there are some scary moments in ZOOTOPIA. The little kids in our Regal Theater were screaming!
I think this will be a netflix for me. I am way down on my viewing movies in theaters. I would have seen Star Wars when it first came out, but I had a cold and wasn’t going to ruin the experience for others with my coughing, etc. I finally did see it earlier this month, and loved it.
Maggie, ZOOTOPIA looks great on the Big Screen. It’s also available in 3-D!
Barbara doesn’t care for animated movies. She’s going to see The Lady in the Van next week.
Rick, Barbara will enjoy THE LADY IN THE VAN. Maggie Smith is great!
My five-year-old granddaughter saw it in 3D–her first theater movie, too–and loved it! I’ve kvetched elsewhere about the sloth scene being a direct steal of Bob and Ray’s Slow Talkers of America routine so I’m not going to see it! Not that I was likely to anyway!
Bob, there’s a lot of “borrowing” going on in movies today. Your five-yea-old granddaughter has great taste!
This was a direct steal! I hope they paid the Bob and Ray estates for the privilege!
Oh brother.
Rick, trust me: you would enjoy ZOOTOPIA.
