BSA225, BSA226, film review Zootopia, 19 April, 2016

I LOVED IT!!!!  Yay, Disney!  They're on a roll again.  Long may it last.
 Judy Hopps has a dream:  to be a cop in Zootopia.  So we get her origin story and a fantastic training montage as she finds ways to use her size, speed and special skills to good use.
 A review pointed out that this is the best movie to deal with racism that we've seen in a long time.  The animals may have become civilized, but they haven't forgotten and some of them haven't forgiven, either.  The link shows how the movie started out darker and then worked out the kinks.

 Nick Wilde is a street-wise hustler who has given up on the "utopia" of Zootopia.  None of the voice acting was unnatural or over the top and meshed with the character design.

As much as I loved the story, I really loved the attention to small details and the creation of the different environments that comprised the city and how they catered to the unique needs of the different animals living there.  From the rabbit-centric suburbs to the wee little mouse subways, every detail was spot on.
