The overall theme of the film is diversity. Here she meets a fox (Jason Bateman) someone she holds a stereotype and prejudice against. In spite of 14 mammals being missing, Judy can't overcome the prejudice and stereotyping on the job and is assigned parking ticket duty. Judy obtains her wish and goes to Zootopia where the lion lies down with the lamb, both predator and prey live in harmony. Her parents prefer that she stay on the farm in Bunny Burrow and make the world a better place by growing one carrot at a time. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) is an optimistic idealistic bunny who wants to be a cop and make the world a better place. A responsible adult could go a long way to help foster that message. It's a good one for kids who are tentative about trying something new and fear embarrassment if they don't measure up. But still, the more meaningful theme that comes out of the story is best expressed by a line in that Lady Gazelle song - "I want to try even though I could fail.".
I'll concede the messaging at times got a bit too political and can understand some of the reviewer backlash on this board. Too bad she had to go rogue and hit Nick Wilde with the savage pill.Īs for the larger story, there are some good messages here for the kiddies, like 'being all you can be' and chasing your dreams no matter what the detractors might say. I also got a kick out of assistant mayor Bellwether, very reminiscent of Shari Lewis's Lambchop from her TV show during the early Sixties, which goes to show you how long this reviewer has been around. I thought both were hilarious, but Flash was inspired - who hasn't run into someone with no sense of urgency clogging up your day like that? I couldn't stop laughing. Big doing the Marlon Brando "Godfather" bit. Just when I thought Flash the Sloth at the Zootown DMV couldn't be topped, we wind up meeting Mr. I'm not a big fan of animated features but this one was a blast and a half.
