Since this got many replies, I'll reply too. After seeing the trailers and previews about Zootopia, I went to see it at the Edwards Grand Palace theater here in Houston. Snacking on some nachos while the film rolled, I liked how it touched upon prejudice and discrimination, in a way that both kids and adults can understand, and in a creative way using anthropomorphic animals. As other users have said here, we needed a lesson like this to remind us in these times. The scenes where the predator animals were going "savage" chilled me, since I kept wondering what caused it, and to me it represented how mental illness can be misunderstood, adding to the message of prejudice and stereotyping. I was happy for both Nick and Judy when everything turned out well for them at the end; two different species working things out and earning their happy ending :). |

It's been awhile since I've seen the movie but I thought Nick's backstory was the best part. The whole movie talks about prey being mistreated then they slap you with the fact that predators can also experience mistreatment and prejudice by the same group you sympathize with up to that point. |

Yep. I also loved how it basically says" prejudice goes both ways." A message I'm in particular glad to see in the film given the prevalence of that "Its not possible to be racist against whites" nonsense that's been floating around. Yes, it is. |

I've never seen it. I haven't seen any new Disney movies since Frozen. I have no idea what they've done. |
