Zootopia+ (2022)
4/10
Only one episode really worth watching

Warning: Spoilers
Hopp on Board - 1/10 Not only is it pointless, boring and nonsensical, but it actively detracts from the world. As per the director of Zootopia, Bunnyburrows is about 340 kilometers away from Zootopia and there is a massive body of water separating them. All of which is disregarded in this episode.

The Real Rodents of Little Rodentia - 5/10 Not good, not bad. Just bland, but at least it expands on the world in some minor way and the story has a nice message of love for the family, even if we hate them at times.

Duke the Musical - 6/10 Funny, but pointless unless the character is used again and expanded upon in Zootopia 2. We see he has the potential for change, defying the stereotype, so if we see him do good in the future, this episode can serve as a part of that arc.

The Godfather of the Bride - 10/10 This is what all these episodes are supposed to be like. It has a positive message of loving and serving the community and chaging the world in our own little ways. It exapands meaningfully on the world, showing us how small mammals had to fight for fair treatment, which we know from the movie is still an ongoing fight even if it improved.

So You Think You Can Prance - 5/10 A dream sequence of Clawhauser, same kind of bland nothing as the second episode.

Dinner Rush - 1/10 Aggressively boring. Flash and Priscilla got engaged in a restaurant, great, boring and uninteresting but great. Except they had dinner in the afternoon, before a huge concert for which they had tickets together. Call me crazy but that's something only a madman would do.

Overall, Disney had a golden chance to make this into something worthwile. Put some worldbuilding which fans would appreciate here, something they didn't have the space for in the movie. We could explore the other districts, give more character development to the people we met, show us the Hopps family home, which they wanted to in the movie but had to cut. Instead of all that possibility we got this bland mess of pointless filler, none of which expands beyond the movie, except for that one amazing episode.
