Zootopia / Zootropolis Movie Review
Zootropolis (Zootopia)
So Rachel and I went to see a movie about a rabbit for easter…
We start off with our protagonist Judy Hopps (Guess what animal she is) giving a play about the history of animals which sets the scene for the movie pretty well, fast forward and she becomes the first bunny Police Officer, much to the dismay of her parents. Her father then warns her of carnivores, especially foxes, and gives her some fox-repellant.
She gets put on parking duty and meets a fox named Nick Wilde (who looks remarkably like Robin Hood from the Disney animated movie from the 70’s) and his ‘baby’, whom she buys an elephant popsicle but then realises she’s been hustled when she sees them melting the giant elephant popsicle and re-freezing it to sell to mice at a vast profit.
Judy hustles the fox into helping her solve a missing person crime. This results in them bonding over a period of time and growing to trust each other. She later breaks this trust when she inadvertently blames all carnivores for having in their DNA the ability to revert to their savage old habits, causing segregation in the community. She then hands in her badge in shame and moves back to sell carrots on her parents farm.
From here she realises the real reason the carnivores have been going savage and returns to Zootropolis / Zootopia where she cracks the case and saves everybody. Nick then becomes a police officer and they are seen cracking the case of a speeding driver.
This is a really fun movie which I really recommend you go and see, if only for some interesting cameos, including Tommy Chong (from Cheech & Chong) playing a stoner yak (ok, maybe a ‘hippy’ yak since it’s a Disney movie.)
As always, written by my fiancé.
