Re: Zootopia
Only way to make this better would have been songs.

Re: Zootopia
I watched it and Civil War in back to back days and still can't decide. They're both perfect .

Re: Zootopia
If enough people watched it, Kubo seems to have more support for the WOKJ animated award.

And zwacks I'd say Kubo has a better shot at the oscar than the Eagle.

Re: Zootopia
There's no such thing as a perfect film because everyone has different opinions.

Re: Zootopia
Regardless, Zootopia and Civil War are not even close to being perfect or whatever adjective you'd prefer.

Re: Zootopia
Well obviously nothing. Even Two Towers has too many Liv Tyler scenes.
Zootopia has gorgeous visuals, a fun soundtrack, lead characters that I adore, a Tina Fey esque sense of humor and an important social message to top it off. Yeah "be yourself" is the theme of every modern Disney, but they rarely discuss how to feel about other people being theirselves.

Re: Zootopia
If Zootopia was a $5m production with a gay black dude, I wouldn't be the only one calling it perfect. Just saying.
And yes, for you algren, who likes his movies to feel very "mature", it wouldn't be perfect. And for zwacks it needs more song and dance. But for me it couldn't better and thus it earns an A+.
2015 A+- None 2014- The Raid 2, Guardians, John Wick 2013- None 2012- Avengers, Django 2011- Drive 2010- Scott Pilgrim, Inception, How To Train Your Dragon
For reference.

For reference. The only non musical Disney film I feel is deserving of A+ is Emperor's New Groove. But Zootopia is very good and it's still my favorite film I've seen so far this year. It's just hard for me to separate Disney from their musical films and when one of their films doesn't have songs, it's disappointing. 2015 A+ Inside Out 2014 Into the Woods, The Lego Movie 2013 The Hunger Games Catching Fire, Frozen 2012 None 2011 Harry Potter 8 2010 Harry Potter 7, Tangled, Toy Story 3

Re: Zootopia
This is so good. Disney should 100% make a sequel where Judy and Nick start dating and he has to meet the parents. But seriously, easily one of Disney’s best scripts, especially with no songs. The allegory is a bit confusing, it deals with overt prejudice rather than subconscious bias, which is the main form of racism at large today. But it’s thrilling, hilarious, and the characters are great.

Re: Zootopia
This movie gets better with each viewing. The story and its flow never feels generic as you are invested in these characters and there are so many pop-culture references added here without them being in your face. The sloth scenes to this day are just LOL.
