"It's called a hustle, honey." -Judy Hopps
Short:
- A+ for animation, imagery, voice talent, and CUTE
- C for storyline, plot, and editing
Long:
Oh my is Zootopia a visual treat. It's plot is difficult to follow and its moralizing about predators vs prey is slightly confusing/reductive......but for children I think it is in the top ten of the last 5 years. Funny, positive, pluralistic, beautiful, and encouraging of reaching for dreams. The Disney recipe to a tee.
I chose the above quote because it seemed apt that Zootopia in mind was a hustle. For me, I followed the pretty pictures, laughed at the simple jokes, got caught up in the time-honored plot, and left reasonably happy. And like all true hustles, it was too late once I figured out that it had no real soul.
On a scale of Carrots for 1 to Beets for 900, I give Zootopia, 2.9 out of 5 stars.
