Zootopia
Ever since she was a little bunny Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) wanted to be a cop in Zootopia, the land where predator and prey live together peacefully, evolved to reject their primal instincts. A far fetched idea that a little bunny could possibly become a crime fighter, but with tenacity and can do determination Judy’s dream comes true. But, when she directly disobeys an order from Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), Judy finds her job is on the line. With 48 hours to make good it’ll take the help of the cunning fox Nick Wild (Jason Bateman). Solving a recent crime spree that’s been reverting tamed animals back to their wild nature will take every resource they don’t readily have. Can they do it, or will officer Hopps be turning in her badge for good? With two separate directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore, along with one co-director Jared Bush, Disney aims for a fun and lightly adventurous romp through a strange and wonderful land. And, to their credit, they’re more or less on target, while not perhaps hitting the highest mark or joke quotient/complexity we’ve come to expect from animated features, there’s certainly enough to carry this family friendly film through to the finish line. And, the all star cast behind our creatures, simply put, the shoe fits, well played by all. Worthy of your family matinee dollar this weekend, Zootopia is rated PG.
