Now let's get into this Imaginative piece from Disney's peak!
The Plot:
Judy Hopps, a bunny, joins Zootopia's police department and works with sneaky fox Nick Wilde to investigate the mystery of the predators' disappearance. Judy's transfer to the city and her experience with Nick's scam are among the Inciting Events. When Judy's pursuit of a weasel interrupts Little Rodentia, she is forced to work on the missing Mr. Otterman case to not be kicked off the police force.

My Rating
7/10
Originality of Story/Characters: The plot of the film follows the typical format of a mismatched partnership overcoming biases and solving a mystery, a storytelling pattern found in several buddy-cop films. While likable and fleshed out, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde might be perceived as falling into established character tropes: the hopeful underdog and the clever, cynical sidekick. Although charming, their buddy-cop dynamic may not create new ground in the world of animated story-telling.
Animation: Zootopia really earns all of the accolades it receives for its animation it achieves a solid 9/10! The attention to detail in designing Zootopia's city and its many habitats for various animal species is seriously impressive. The animation brings the anthropomorphic figures to life with expressiveness and flow that adds to the plot. The action sequences, particularly the pursuit scenes, highlight the animators' technical prowess.
Soundtrack Use: Unlike other animated films like "Your Name" with famous and instantly known musical soundtracks, Zootopia's soundtrack lacks unique tunes that become associated with the film. It lacks the distinguishing musical elements that elevate specific moments or elicit powerful emotions.
Re-watchability: The mystery aspect, which adds an interesting depth to the initial watching, may lose suspense on future viewings. The clever humor, well put social satire, and the charming relationship between Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, on the other hand, make for an entertaining a second visit.
