Of course Disney had no way of knowing what the world would be like when the film was released, but it's incredible how much the film reflects the world exactly how it is right now. Kids have an incredible cartoon role model in Judy. She follows her dreams despite everyone telling her she would fail. She also stands up for what is right no matter what. It's also sad when a film aimed at children is more reasonable than many adults living in the world right now. There are a group of animals that are suddenly targeted and hated because of the actions of a small number of them. Sound familiar? Anyway, (as you can tell I'm passionate about this film for obvious reasons) after that group of animals are proven innocent every resident of Zootopia learns that judging someone by what they are does nothing but grow unnecessary fear.
The world of Zootopia is creative and visually appealing. We see different parts of Zootopia all catering to the different animals that live there. It is wildly creative.
All the voice actors get into their roles. You definitely feel like you are listening to the characters as opposed to the actors voicing them. Judy is fun and you root for her from beginning to end. Nick is smarmy, intelligent and while he decides to be what society thinks he should be, he is immensely likable and you can't help rooting for him as well.
"Zootopia" is a must watch for everyone. The characters are well-developed. The visuals are beautiful. The story is relatable and most of all the lesson is one that we all can be reminded of.
