Zootopia - 3 smiles


“Zootopia” is more than I expected although not nearly as good as a Pixar movie. Its underlying themes of inclusiveness and empowerment are adequately demonstrated and it boasts appealing characters. There’s a lot for kids to like and nearly as much for their parents. “Zootopia” is a mismatched buddy film with the two central characters, Judy (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin), a rabbit and Nick (Jason Bateman) a fox, learning to respect one another as they gain an understanding of each other’s strengths. Any lessons about diversity are evident in the animals of different species getting along. There’s enough humor for this to be considered a ‘comedy’ with a few of the jokes being intended for older viewers. I wouldn’t mind another visit to this world with a second ride-along with Judy and Nick.
