Zootopia is that rare animated movie that is not only charming, heartwarming, imaginative, funny, clever, and visually dazzling but also topical w/o becoming too preachy. The voice cast is strong, with the standout being the paring of Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman as a spunky rabbit cop and a slick fox con artist. The screenplay works as a solid buddy cop movie in the tradition of 48 Hours or Lethal Weapon except you know it's for kids! The animation and realization of the animal metropolis that is Zootopia is amazing. The film's story successfully tackles surprisingly adult things like prejudice and corruption w/o coming across as the manifesto of an internet SJW. Zootopia is among the best movies of the year and a sure-fire contender for Best Animated Feature.
