Zootopia

Zootopia (titled Zootropolis in the UK and Zoomania in Germany) is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated buddy cop comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 55th Disney animated feature film, directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, co-directed by Jared Bush, and stars the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, Jenny Slate, Nate Torrence, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, Tommy Chong, J. K. Simmons, Octavia Spencer, Alan Tudyk, and Shakira. Taking place in the titular city where anthropomorphic mammals coexist, it tells a story of an unlikely partnership between a rabbit police officer and a red fox con artist, as they uncover a criminal conspiracy involving the disappearance of predators. Zootopia premiered at the Brussels Animation Film Festival in Belgium on February 13, 2016, and went into general theatrical release in Disney Digital 3-D, RealD 3D, IMAX 3D, and 4DX formats in the United States on March 4.

Plot
From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case. Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde, a wily everyman fox who makes her job even harder.

Why It Can "Try Everything"

 * 1) It has incredibly solid animation and beautiful visuals that are on par with their sister studio, Pixar.
 * 2) It has really creative world-building that expands upon the world of Zootopia.
 * 3) Rich storytelling with very powerful and well-handled messages about believing in yourself, and following your dreams no matter what other people say.
 * 4) The concept of anthropomorphic animals working with the city is interesting.
 * 5) Michael Giacchino's musical score is amazing as you can hear respectively.
 * 6) It has smart and clever adult humor.
 * 7) Well done pacing.
 * 8) Unlike mh:awfulmovies:Shark Tale, the anthropomorphic animal setting actually has a purpose to the story.
 * 9) Awesome and very strong characters like Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.
 * 10) Even with the cute anthropomorphic animals, the film is surprisingly mature and not afraid to tackle the topics of racism and discrimination in the USA, corruption in politics, and illegal production of drugs. This way the adults that were likely dragged into the theater by their children won't be bored by the movie because those topics can keep them engaged. And the best part is this is one of the few times in a late 2010's film in which its social messages don't feel forced and therefore isn't just SJW pandering (if at all).
 * 11) Heartwarming and surprisingly scary scenes to fit the emotions, such as Nick Wilde's childhood.
 * 12) Top-notch voice acting from talented actors, especially Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba and even Shakira.
 * 13) The action scenes are entertaining, especially the chase scenes.
 * 14) The film has a very well-balanced light/dark tone.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) As the twists for Big Hero 6 and Frozen, Bellwether is a very weak and forced villain because it used the poorly executed "twist villain" cliche at this point and the reveal happening late in the movie.
 * 2) * On top of that, Bellwether's motivation is unexplored outside of a single, very brief rant against prejudice towards prey like her, which happens after her big reveal that amounts to wanting power. The film's moral on prejudice is told through its heroes, who are "prejudiced" in more institutionalized ways, but having an antagonist whose bigotry is not really elaborated upon or given any meat is seen by some critics as a wasted opportunity to delve into the thought process of an actual racist. This would have made Bellwether feel less like a forced twist villain, and she'd become far more complex and three-dimensional. Prejudice is bad, but racists tend to actually believe in their preconceptions and claim that there is some kind of innate inferiority in the cultures and people they despise; here Bellwether makes no attempt to justify or even explain where her hatred of the minority species is rooted, and ultimately just comes off as power-hungry.
