5 years already. Christ, where is time going?

Anyway, it's still my favorite film of the CGI Renaissance thus far.

One of most favorite movies of the last 10 years.

Wish they make a sequel but there's a TV series coming right?

Haven't checked if my son likes this one or not. So far, he is all about Moana. I've tried Toy Story but it didn't entertained him too much.

Probably not the case, but this made me wonder if the whole plot point of toys coming to life has less appeal to kids these days cause of them getting access to technology earlier and potentially playing less with toys as a result.

My favorite Zootopia story I've ever heard via reddit:

The other night I decided to watch Zootopia on Netflix after hearing it was a pretty good movie. And it was, I haven't laughed so hard at a film in a while. What I thought was really funny was how it was narrated as if it were some sort of Animal Planet documentary. Some of the lines spoken were so matter-of-fact, direct, obvious, etc. that I completely lost it several times.

As it turns out, I accidentally turned on Audio Description somehow.


I've always meant to watch Zootopia in animal documentary mode.

My 3 year old is obsessed. "Try Everything" is her favourite tune. The sloths make her absolutely crack up. Great film.

I enjoyed the film so much that it started making me question whether or not I was a furry. For now I consider myself furry-adjacent.

Anyway, if you liked Zootopia and want more like it, I recommend checking out Beastars. Just...maybe don't watch it with kids.

I always wondered if they didn't make a sequel to this because of the whole, y'know... cop thing.

Isn't Disneyland Shanghai getting a full park area dedicated to this? That'll be great.

Haha, I think Zootopia and Beastars are two different animals (pun intended.) I would consider Beastars more appropriately compared to Blacksad in terms of tone, and even then it has no real strong political metaphors as either Blacksad or Zootopia. It's in its own little niche of generalized anime drama.

Why the fuck is everyone celebrating this now? Did ya'll forget about the kneelings, the shot autistic people, Breonna Taylor?

I mean people can enjoy things. And I'm not saying you're wrong but why invoke a Black woman's name whom was made a victim of this racist ass country? You could've made your point without doing that. There was no need to do this AT ALL

Yep. Imagine me having to remember that nonsense in a thread about a fucking cartoon about a fox and a rabbit solving a crime.

Shit like this doesn't help.

I love this film, one of Disney's best.

Im surprised there hasn't been a sequel yet, this movie did a billion dollars in the box office. Like not even in production.

She was a woman who was a decorated officer and yet got shot in her own home without a warrant or suspected crime anyways. She is the poster woman for the failure of the police system, that's like asking someone to not talk about Jesus when the topic is "religious martyrs". And her life is a portent for every person in America, black or not; how you can serve the system and get NOTHING for it, how the idea of being a good citizen and working hard is a myth made solely for keeping the unprivileged acting "civil" as meanwhile the privileged discard it upon any racist, classist, or stress-relieving whim that their mood fancies.

For some reason, I thought it was older.
Like 2012 or something.

I'm honestly shocked they haven't announced a second one yet

Starring police as protagonists? I don't think Disney is that clueless as to announce a sequel, but i'll probably be proven wrong.

The movie is literally using the word "utopia" in the title!

its called zootropolis in my region lol. I recall the movies themes being specifically that it is not a utopia, however clunkily it did so.

As you can tell by my avatar one of my favorite Disney movies. An amazing city the animation team designed, lots of great humor, dialogue and a great, moral lesson along with two leads with great chemistry together. Sucks the TV series is going to be about the side characters and not as much Nick and Judy.

Yea I saw they had a 5 year anniversary pin on shopDisney. Not one of my favorites but it's a solid film.

A modern classic for me, it's really inventive in so many ways visually and that's on top of telling this hybrid woke-noir plot.

I kind of doubt it ever sees a sequel though. I'd love for it to dive into institutional racism or expand on the dropped shock collar plot line from the first film. The prospect of doing either sounds like an incredible tight wire walk to get right though.

EDIT: I also wanted to add that there hasn't been a Disney film since that's featured two leads with more chemistry than Nick and Judy from Zootopia. It's clever as fuck that they even weave the cute thing with the carrot pen into the main plot at the end.
