This weekend, Walt Disney Animation Studios released Zootopia on the world, and the box office responded with ticket sales that broke Frozen’s 2013 $67.4 million debut. The feature films take on bias and stereotypes was well received by everyone at the Major Spoilers HQ, and many Spoilerites gave their thumbs up as well.
What did you think?
From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case. Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a wily fox who makes her job even harder.

I loved this movie! Not only is it a great Buddy Love/Cop movie, there’s also great discussions on bias, stereotypes and racism, that aren’t completely hamfisted in their deliver.
Plus, there are so many great references! Nice Breaking Bad reference with Jesse and Walter, Frozen gets some shade, and a great gag on future Disney movies already being bootlegged to name a few…
Best of all, both kids loved it, though the youngest, age four, was not as excited about the film as he was with Inside Out, but still liked it a lot.
I’ve not seen it yet, but I plan to. I’d love to see a Zach on Film on this~
Watched it Saturday with my wife. Saw most of the plot coming from a mile away, but was so enjoying most of the action and humor that it was something I thought about for, maybe 2 minutes, tops.
I’d give it a 4 out of 5, and would happily recommend it to anyone.
I saw this movie opening night with my fiance and have not been -capable- of going one day (more than a few hours really) without getting lost in thought about it.
Not since I first experienced “2001: A Space Odyssey” have I found myself so gripped by a film on the fronts of enjoyment and analysis.
I can’t do it justice, but if you want an in-depth look at the movie and themes, check out author and artist Rick Griffin’s tumblr alabastermenagerie.tumblr.com. He’s been writing about it since Friday and has a better analytical voice than I.
Can’t wait to hear about this on Zach on Film of the MSP!
