Storyline

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. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case. Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde, a wily fox who makes her job even harder.

Trivia

HIDDEN MICKEY: After Judy enters the Rainforest District on the tram and it starts raining, as the camera pans down to show the pedestrians walking under the tramway, a Hidden Mickey can be seen as the design on the top of one of the blue umbrellas to the right.

Goofs

The train has three single doors for animals of different sizes when it picks Judy up, but when it arrives in Zootopia, all of the animals exit through a single set of double doors. Distant shots of the train show that the end cars have double doors and the middle cars have the three single doors, so this is not improbable as Judy may have exited the train from an adjacent car.

User Reviews

Surprisingly great story!

I thought this movie was going to be some annoying furry movie. But it was much more than that, Zootopia is one of the greatest animated flicks to date. It's enjoyable, funny, and really smart. I enjoyed the main characters, and I even cared about them! I also really liked to premise itself, it's simple and easy to grip. Zootopia is one of Disney's best!
