Zootopia

A crime movie in the style of Shane Black :-). The sloths made me laugh like nothing in the past few years has done. I literally cried. The animals look super cute and there’s a bunch of playful details and apt references to the real human world as well as to classic movies. Moreover, the film has an additional message for today’s Europe that its makers probably didn’t even intend to send. I won’t add a fifth star only because the idea behind Zootopia is not as strong as in Inside Out. Zootopia is “only” perfect fun. (03/29/2016)

I've long wished someone had filmed Bryan Talbot's divine comic “Grandville", and Zootopia is close to my idea of what it should be like. It's a wonderfully imaginative cartoon from a thoughtful setting, with a story almost like a comedy crime story for adults (48 Hours, The Last Boy Scout, Midnight Run...), sympathetic characters and the best parody of The Godfather I've ever seen. I must also praise the Czech dubbing with new and precisely fitting voices. (05/11/2016)

This is the best human rights agitprop, and I only take issue with the creative cowardice regarding the fundamental moral issue of predator eating habits. Otherwise, it is in all respects an absolutely fantastic crime film, a top-notch buddy movie, a dynamic action ride, and an all-round reference (Jesse and Walter are amazing!) containing a spectacle that will define the term "feel good" for a long time to come.

Ananimated moviethat combines adult life with an animal life intended for children. Zootopia is cute, kind, funny and here and there, there’s a stellar joke for the adults watching, because the universe brings us true gifts every other day. I even think that the sloths at the DMV were probably the best scene I’ve ever seen in a 3D-animated movie. However, at the same time, it still maintains a pleasant, cute and childish wit that the even children will appreciate. Zootopia was simply a success. (11/25/2016)

The 55th Disney Feature Film. The combination of Disney and a town full of critters generates absolute yummy cuteness. They work with 3D animation long enough for you to enjoy the whole film and in the meantime just suppress the urge to stroke the main character. Judy Hopps could compete with all those friends from the touching story about Bambi. And that's saying something. (01/31/2020)
