Zootopia (2016)

Directors: Byron Howard, Rich Moore

Producer: Clark Spencer

Starring: Ginnifer Goodwin (Judy Hopps), Jason Bateman (Nick Wilde), Idris Elba (Inspector Bogo), Jenny Slate (Bellwether)

Genre: Animation/Comedy

The 55th Disney animated film; Zootopia (titled Zootropolis in the United Kingdom and Zoomania in Germany) is a mind-blowing film based in the world of animals.

The movie starts with an opening narration by Judy Hopps, a 9 year old rabbit who wants to become a police officer. But she is tormented by bullies Gideon Grey and Travis, as there never been a bunny police officer. 15 years later, Judy has passed her exam and is now the first bunny police officer. In Zootopia, she becomes a meter maid. While she is on parking duty, Hopps meets a sly fox hustler, Nicholas ‘Nick’ Wilde near the Lemming Brothers Bank. But Judy is recruited to find Emmitt Otterton, a North American otter gone missing. Judy then seeks the help of Nick to find Emmitt; since Judy thinks the fox is the one who has the most evidence.  Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I really like the concept of the movie. The animals are also fun. Bunnyburrow is great. The part where Judy steps in wet cement is funny. But the case is very serious. I couldn’t believe that a police officer teams up with a con artist. Duke Weaselton is also diffident. Jerry Jumbeaux Jr. was also weird.  The Gazelle app is also funny. The (possible) comic relief character, cheetah Clawhauser, is also good. They also parodied some real-life global brands such as CNN (Cable News Network) and Google to ‘ZNN (Zootopia News Network)’ and ‘Zoogle’ which perfectly suited the theme. The movie has these flaws:

  •    The animation style is not really good. This sort of CGI didn’t suit this.
  •    Gazelle is TOO popular;
  •    The movie can be a bit more detailed.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

  1.        It is very funny.
  2.          It has a distinctive partnership.
  3.       It is a serious case.
  4. .     It has a hidden antagonist, which is very interesting.
  5. .  Overall, THE MOVIE IS SUPERB!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
