Zootopia
Cast: Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Shakira
Rated: 7/10
It’s pretty animated when it comes to a cute as a bunny storyline and not at all dumb as a bunny caper. The animal kingdom here is in a civilised age where only the nude beaches are for clothe less animals. There’s a police force, a mayor, bullet trains and a happening urban city called Zootopia which powers this beautifully drawn animation film but what’s really great is the unhurried but well punctuated storyline.
A woman bunny has dreams of big man’s world entry and wants to enter the police force. She does but only to be consigned to becoming a “meter maid” challaning vehicles parked wrongly. Till, she gets the case of her life and excels in the chase alongside a foxy, well, fox.
Together the two script a rollercoster that is engaging and enchanting.
Disney seldom faults with its animations and this one is up there in the becoming dream world. The colour scheme, the drawings, the characterisations — not to mention the script — it is all crackling and yet oh-so-cute.
Sadly, this one comes bang in the middle of exams, so wish Disney had got the timing a little right.
