From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law.

Goofs

Nick pays Finnick his money after the "pawpsicle" hustle. Before Finnick opens and enters his van Nick is holding one of his "pawpsicle" in his right paw. A few moments later when Finnick drives off the "pawpsicle" is visibly smaller than before, but Nick did not eat from it. While he's paying Finnick it's somewhat questionable how Nick could talk (he's counting the money loudly) and hold the "pawpsicle" in his muzzle at the same time.

What a Great Surprise

I hadn't planned on seeing this film (I feel we are over-saturated with animated films these day, most of them mediocre), but I looked on as my kids watched it. This is a really fine film. It takes on issues of prejudice and cultural diversity. Zootopia is a city where animals live side by side, predator and prey. It is not a utopia because law and order is necessary. A little female rabbit messes with the male dominated police force. She is put on duty as a meter maid and realizes sexism along with her species is under attack. She is feisty and eventually hooks up with a con-man fox (the least trusted species) whom she enlists to help her solve a kidnapping case. Actually, it's otter napping. In the process, she reveals her own prejudices and hurts her partner. The movie has stunning animation and intelligent dialogue and lots of social references. Very good stuff.
