How refreshing! Zootopia definitely exceeded my expectations. I was especially pleased that the film wasn't full of stupid jokes and irritating voices (like so many mainstream animated films, these days). Not only is the film lively, colorful, and entertaining but it is also incredibly thought-provoking and relevant to this scary time we are living in. I love how very heavy subjects like prejudice, xenophobia, bullying, and ignorance are all discussed in a way that is easy to understand and relate to. Children should see this film and talk about it. Wonderful story.
