I recently saw the film and I was surprised at how good it was. Good for an anamorphic animal kids cartoon at least. It looks like they really spent time with the animation and writing.

And boy, those racism themes pointing a big finger right at first world countries. I am doubly surprised a kids movie covered so many big, important problems.

Indeed. I was dubious about the prospect, but Disney played it well and sensitively. It was, overall, a very good movie; more realistic than almost all of Disney's others.

The thing I was most surprised about: DISNEY DIDN'T KILL ANY PARENTS IN IT!!!

My siblings and I had a good time with the snappy dialogue. It provided us many hours of entertainment. That is the hallmark of a good movie.

You talking about one of the parents being dead most of the time in Disney films?

I just saw the movie today, and the biggest thing I got from it was that... It'd make a great role play.

It would make a pretty good Role play. But it'd have to have a pretty solid story behind it otherwise people get bored too fast.

It'd need an amazing story behind it for it to work...

       I expected the movie to be decent (it was by Disney for crying out loud  ::)), but I wasn't ready for it to be as good as it was. I went and saw it again a couple days after the first time. The story was solid, and well played out, the animation was fantastic, and the world was very unique. It's biggest selling point though, was it's characters, they drew me in, they felt real, and they really made you care about their individual stories. My biggest problem would be with the political propaganda they laced through the entire thing, but aside from that, it was a very good movie.

They've always gotta add something, like environment saving, feminism, anti-racism, etc.

True. However, I think they played it delicately and deftly enough that, if you choose, you could consider it solely a plot device and not a social critique. And while it's always good to consider the relevant social critiques, whether you find them accurate is a different matter- but I, at least, try not to dismiss anything out of hand. That may just be my addiction to thinking, though.

So... my family has become a bit addicted to this movie. We preordered it, and since it was released, we've watched it an average of .75 times per day. That means we've watched it more than 5 days out of every week, possibly more (my calculations could be off). I know at least two days where we actually watched it 3 times. For a family that doesn't usually watch movies, that is a huge amount of time. I'm pretty sure we could quote the whole thing verbatim, and we reference it a lot.

And yes, I am watching it as I write this.

I just saw it a few days ago, and it was pretty good. I really liked the whole world and people in it, and how there were somethings that little kids wouldn't get (Try explaining Zuber to a four year old). Along with Finding Dory (which was sooooooooo good) Disney has the animation for this year by a long run.
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

What I really like about cartoon movies this year is that they're mostly animal themed, which is something we haven't seen in quite a while.

I saw Zootopia when it came out in theaters, and it was really good! I thought it was well portrayed by the characters, and much better than some of Disney's other recent (not so recent by now) films. I also went out to theater's to see Frozen, but the movie had already been completely spoiled for me by YouTube clips I didn't even watch, but that had spoilers in the title! It was basically a waste of money. Zootopia was definitely better, and I have been wanting to go back and watch it again soon, or when it comes out on instant play on Netflix. My favorite character has got to be the chinchilla with Nick in the beginning. ;D
