Zootopia is the newest animated movie by Walt Disney Animation Studios and it is a surprisingly mature one at that. If you watched the trailers you will have been completely mislead by the marketing campaign, because Zootopia is not a light-hearted, funny Disney film with human-like animals, it is far greater than that and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am a big Disney fan and this animation showed what the studio is capable of producing if they stick their heads together, because as of late I haven’t seen a project by this studio that really floored me.
Zootopia is the capital city of a world run by evolved anthropomorphic animals, where predators and prey can live side by side in peace, but not all is as utopian as it seems. Bunny Judy Hopps (Goodwin) experiences this first hand after having passed the police academy with flying colours and becoming the first police officer of her species. The problem is that she is not being accepted by her co-workers, so when several predators are being reported as missing, she bets the police chief (Elba) that she can solve the case faster than any other officer. She employs the help of Nick (Bateman), a sly fox, who is supposed to help her crack the investigation.
I found the premise of this animated film to be fantastic, as this world run by humanoid animals is very similar to that of our one. Much of problems these animals encounter are socio-political metaphors for the issues we are facing nowadays, such as: racism, gender classification or limiting people from different cultural levels, there was even a section that covered drug abuse. Disney took a leap of faith depicting those problems and it paid off, because by addressing them, Zootopia managed to become a well-rounded and multilayered movie.
Even though the tone is extremely mature for an animation, this film does not forget to entertain and includes some very funny and witty jokes. There are also a lot of pop-cultural references to successful movies and TV shows like Breaking Bad, The Godfatherand others. Zootopia is a well developed and thoughtfully written motion picture that will not only entertain adults but will also be a fun experience for kids.
But the movie also had its flaws. For one, the story structure follows the typical Disney formula and therefore the plot twists were easy to decipher. I also disliked the end-credit scene, due to the reason that it felt disjointed from the rest of the movie and seemed to aim for a lovey-dovey happy ending, to promote Shakira’s new song.
The characters in Disney’s newest animation are unbelievably well developed. I thought it was very smart to humanise these animals, but still have them retain some of their animalistic trades in their characters, such as the bunny being cute or the fox being slick. A lot of that world is based on the natural law, which is the reason why the police unit is outfitted with these big, strong animals that can protect the smaller animal population.
The two leading characters of Judy Hopps, played by Ginnifer Goodwin, and Nick Wild, portrayed by Jason Bateman, are great and have fantastic chemistry. I was immediately invested in their relationship and loved both of their background stories. Goodwin gave a fantastic vocal performance and nailed the emotional scenes, while Jason Bateman was remarkable as the clever con artists. Both of them tried to prove that they are more than their species stereotypes, while their spirits kept taking punches by other ignorant animals.
Idris Elba is terrific as Chief Bogo, a cape buffalo and the chief of Zootopia’s police department. He was funny, brutish and had very short temperament and I adored the fact that the writers paid tribute to the clichéd angry police chief, portrayed in nearly every 80’s and 90’s action flick. J.K. Simmons also played a stereotypical character of early action movies; the friendly and seemingly perfect Mayor of the city, Mayor Lionheart. Simmons’ rendition was amusing and well done.
The animation in this movie is flawless! The animals look very typical and Disney like, and reminded me of a computer-animated version of Robin Hood. The city of Zootopia was also beautifully designed! What really surprised me though were the magnificent choreographed and executed action scenes, because Zootopia is foremost an action-animation. Michael Giacchino composed the handsome score, and it was his first co-operation on a full-length feature film for Disney. Shakira also contributed her original song, “Try Everything ” to this film.
Verdict: Disney’s newest animation is a fantastically scripted and beautifully shot metaphor of our own world, with great vocal performances by Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman. The animation is flawless and the characters have a powerful chemistry. I was completely invested in this movie from beginning to end and loved the implemented mature messages; Zootopiais a beautiful portrayal of an unlikely friendship. This movie is a must see for adults and children alike and I really wanted to give it the highest grade, but due to minor flaws it has I will need to give it an 8.5 out of 10.
I do recommend you go see this movie, because it really is worth your time! If you already saw it, makes sure to leave a comment and tell me what you thought of it. Tomorrow’s review will be for Fuqua’s Olympus Has Fallen, leading up to my London Has Fallen review next week. Thank you for reading and if you found this critique helpful, make sure to share it.
