I saw Zootopia today. Good LORD what an amazing movie. I was actually expecting to leave the theater a furry, but instead I just left the theater and just felt...hopeful for Disney's future, lmao. The movie is so smart and extremely self-aware.
[spoiler=If you're curious what the actual plot/theme is, here's the gist as the trailers don't do it much justice. Spoiler-free, I promise]
The movie actually attempts to tackle racism and prejudice, and does so in a pretty smart way. Kids might not pick up on it so quickly, but if you're an adult walking into the theater seeing this you'll see it right away right from the start of the film.
MAYBE a spoiler though? The movie gets steadily darker, really, REALLY fast.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=And here's a little spoiler. It's out of context so no story details spoiled. If you're a furry, please read this. If not, read it anyway. It's about one of the gags, lmao]
There is actually a scene where the two protags end up visiting a nudist colony. Disney clearly knew exactly what the fuck they were doing with this film.[/spoiler]
But uhm it's hella good. If you wanna wait until it's on DVD/Bluray or Netflix that's fine but it really deserves a watch. Oh yeah and I'm probably totally definitely buying it on Blu-ray, no questions asked
Oh, yeah, and if you're avoiding this movie because "oh no furries" you are a dumbass. There's a much deeper tale to be told within this movie. Like seriously - forget about Seth Rogen's upcoming "Sausage Party" - I don't think Zootopia was written with children in mind. This is definitely a grown-up's CGI film from beginning to end. Though it wouldn't hurt for kids to see it, the main issues presented in the film are just going to fly over children's heads in favor of some of the slapstick comedy seen in the film (which is...actually executed pretty impressively somehow, by the way)
