Zootopia is more than I could have imagined, greater than any trailer could hint and its own species of animated movie entirely. It’s been quite a while since I’ve loved a new Disney movie this much. Zootopia instantly became one of my all-time favorites. I wanted a sequel before I even left the theatre and I’ve heard so many others excited at the thought of a sequel or show. It’s not just me. People are loving Zootopia especially with all the inside jokes it brings. It scores high in all the most important ways for me. The animal characters are humorously great renditions of people stereotypes, the messages are ones our culture is instinctively hungry for and there’s a mystery that is just plain fun to follow.

Zootopia is a city but the world in this movie seems to go on forever. Every nook and cranny hides detail, poking fun at the mammals that inhabit the skyscraper laden metropolis. The slogan ‘anyone can be anything’ beckons little bunny Judy Hopps to take her dream of becoming a police officer by the horns. She’s positive, resilient and an absolute go-getter while being polite and all the way adorable. I don’t particularly indulge in movie or theme park merchandise, especially at the moment as I’m trying to go a little more minimalist, but I had to have a carrot pen like Judy does in the movie and was thrilled to see that Disney made one. My friend also gave me a Judy Hopps plush and I’m so happy about it. She’s just a character that makes you want to take on the world with open, loving arms. Judy is her own cheerleader, a problem solver and does it all at high speed, not letting anyone’s opinion of her change her idea of herself. Judy Hopps is the perfect character for a young girl or boy to be inspired by.

This movie is really important. Zootopia has a herd of positive messages that naturally shine through the intriguing story and all of the funnies. Accept others despite differences. Believe in yourself completely. Never give up. Go against the odds. Do the right thing. And I love that there’s a girl that wants to be a cop. It’s slightly untraditional and our law enforcement officers definitely need some love right now. Zootopia is a total feel good movie. You’ll leave happy like you’ve just gone on an excellent Kilamanjaro Safari where all of the animals were out and playing. You’ll laugh and you’ll feel inspired and entertained. The whole fam will love Zootopia and not in that ‘I liked it because my kids liked it’ kind of way. The story is loaded with so much goodness from the silly ways we see animals making life in a big city to the serious but carefully communicated lessons that you hardly realize are lessons. Zootopia has endless possibilities and I hope we get to explore more of the city and life with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in movies to come.

I just saw this movie last night and I fell in love!! It’s one of the best animated movies I’ve seen so far. All the references had me cracking up.
I am such a fan of SparklyEverAfter! Cant wait to see this movie this weekend!
I just saw this movie at the parks blog preview and I LOVED it! I completely agree with your review, I cannot say enough good things about this movie! I’m hoping to see it again this weekend & I was actually just looking up the carrot pen before I came across your giveaway!
I saw the preview that they have at Studios when we were there last week and I am SO excited to see this movie. It had me wishing that my baby girl was old enough that this could be her first movie to see in theaters. 🙂
I saw this movie today and absolutely fell in love with it! I loved the story and all of the characters, including their unique personalities and back stories. I loved all of the references, and that there were a lot of really important messages. The world was so detailed, and just down right adorable! I can’t wait for this to come out on DVD. I might even go see it in the theater again! Haha.
I can’t wait to see the movie this weekend! Thanks for the great review!
Really looking forward to seeing this movie with my kids.
My daughter and I are going to see it today. Super excited!
I saw the movie the day before it came out! Absolutely fantastic. I agree, so many wonderful messages and great humor throughout. My roommate and I had been waiting to see this for months! We have been able to get some sneak peaks because of going to Disney World so often and it is ever better than we imagined!
Loved Zootopia! DEFINITLEY one the of the best messages in a disney film I think. Really wanna see it again, Nick is a hilarious character and Judy is so inspiring!
I am more excited to see this movie than my children! Thank you for a great review!
Can’t wait to go see this! 🐰
Have been waiting for this to come out and can’t wait to see it!! Thank you, as always, for a great review!
I’m taking my little cousin and I’m definitely more excited about this than she is! I really connect with Judy!!
Can’t wait to see this!
My hubby and I saw it last night. I think we were the only couple there without kids. (Ours are teens and were too busy to hang out with mom and dad.) Loved the movie, the many messages, and the fact that there is now a Disney character with my name. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win.
Fun review and fun blog! I’m so excited about Zootopia and love love love Ginny Goodwin! Squee!
Oh my gosh! I took my 2 year old niece to see this last night and she fell in love with it and Judy Hopps! She would absolutely love the Judy Hopps plush! I’m sort of new to your blogs but I definitely love them and your Instagram page! I love Disney so much and was just accepted into the Disney College Program!
Saw the movie early a few weeks ago and round 2 is tonight. People keep asking me how it was and what it’s about. I barely even mentioned the whole buddy cop plot line and only discuss its beautiful social commentary. This movie, like Inside Out, is fun for kids but really made for the adults. So you know, it’s perfect for those of us who never stop being a kid.
Seeing this movie again tonight! I love how much it caters to adults and children. It’s perfect for those of us who never grow up completely.
Nice review! I cannot wait to see it.
We saw the preview at DCA and now we are beyond excited to see the movie. Today’s the day! You’re review was great! My daughter and I are looking forward to seeing this movie together. I’ve heard nothing but positive and outstanding reviews!!! Yay for Zootopia!
Zootopia was awesome
I can’t wait to see the movie, my husband and I are going tomorrow!
Saw this yesterday with my family! We LOVED it. Such a great message and it was told in such a great way. We were already wanting to see it again when we left the theater. After The Good Dinosaur I was relieve to love this movie so much!! My daughter is wanting a pen like Judy!
I couldn’t agree more. Disney has done it again!!! I absolutely fell in the love with the film and especially Judy Hopps!! I felt that this film was not only laugh out loud funny from start to finish but its poignant and timely message was truly inspiring.
Can’t wait to take my daughter to see this! ☺️
Zootopia looks really cute. Taking my little one to see it sometime next week. 😊
I saw Zootopia yesterday. So much cuteness! I loved Mr. Big and Fennec Fox (which totally reminded me of Baby Herman from Roger Rabbit ). Actually I loved all the characters 😄
I saw it yesterday, so much cuteness!
I saw Zootopia last night and absolutely loved it!! Your review sums it up perfectly! I was the same way in wanting a sequel before the movie even ended. I cannot wait to go see it again! Congrats to Disney for creating another fantastic movie!
Such an amazing movie. My loved it so much we are going back tomorrow to see it again.
I can’t wait to take my little guy to see this movie. I’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews!
I have to say Disney has done it again with another movie that has touched my heart. As I prepare to enter college this coming fall, the movie really spoke to me. The message about never giving up and following your dreams no matter what obstacles one faces was the perfect amount of inspiration for me. And I have to say I absolutely loved how clever and cute the entire movie was!!😄
I am so excited to see this movie! I am waiting to see it with my family in a few weeks and I truly can’t wait! I already got myself the Nick and Judy TsumTsums so this would be so cute to add to the collection! Also so lucky you got to see it early <3
This movie was amazing and sent some really empowering and positive messages to both kids and adults alike. I adored it and will definitely be seeing it again as soon as I can! 🙂
What a great review! I can not wait to see this movie! We are taking my son on Friday!
What a super cute giveaway. I can’t wait to see this movie.
