Zootopia (2016)
A film by Byron Howard & Rich Moore
Full of energy and hope, first ever rabbit cop, Judy Hopps, moves into Zootopia—the mammal metropolis where all kinds of animals live and work—to become the newest recruit of the city's police force. Determined to prove herself to society, she eagerly takes on a mysterious case. With the help of the sly fox, Nick Wilde, the unlikely team pairs up to solve one of the city's hardest case to crack yet.
As always, Walt Disney's animated films never fail to deliver. At the end of their every movie, reminds me why I sometimes indulge myself with such entertainment. It makes me wonder though, how the people behind Disney Animation Studios ever go to sleep with all the creative juices that never seem to stop flowing in their veins. How do they ever just let go of their pens, and laptops, knowing they have so much stories to share?
Thus, it is no surprise that Zootopia has the typical plot and lovable characters that effortlessly win viewers' hearts. But, it is not afraid to go tough when the story demands. Not only does it have on point humor, it also shows wonderful cinematic views, and even references The Godfather. But most importantly, it's honest, and has guts to break the conventional.
Disney raises the bar for great animations every time they release a new film, with its center, good morals, always intact. Truly, Zootopia is a heartwarming food for the soul. Not only for the kids, but for adults [who know about the absurd, horrid world] as well. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) are new modern heroes. I can see them turning into another classic idol like Joy (Inside Out), Nemo (Finding Nemo), Woody (Toy Story), and the like. They do not only remind us that it's okay to be different. They also teach us the good way to break stereotypes. Because we may not be able to stop society's prejudice, but we sure as hell can prove them wrong.
