Film Critic, age 12<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoyed Disney\u2019s <em>Zootopia<\/em> because the animation took me  into a beautiful world just like ours, but completely filled with  animals.<\/p>\n<p>Zootopia is about a bunny named Judy (Ginnifer Goodwin) who grew up on a  carrot farm.\u00a0 Judy always wanted to be a cop when she grew up even  though she is a bunny and bunnies do not become policemen.\u00a0 She goes to  police training and then becomes a cop in Zootopia.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ah4NzDbwLg0\"><\/p>\n<p><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Zootopia is a land where all different types of animals, prey and predators, live together in peace.\u00a0 When Judy gets to Zootopia she is not taken seriously as a Bunny Cop, so Judy has to finish a case in 48 hours or else she resign.\u00a0 She teams up with a fox named Nick (Jason Bateman) to help figure out the case.\u00a0 Will she get taken seriously as a cop and finish the case? You\u2019ll have to watch it to find out.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite character in <em>Zootopia<\/em> is Nick, a clever, funny and mischievous fox.\u00a0 Nick got lots of laughs from the audience and I learned to care about him after his back story was revealed.<a onfocus=\"this.blur()\" onclick=\"ps_imagemanager_popup(this.href,'Zootopia.a.jpg','1311','549');return false\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zootopia.a.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"319\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"134\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"Zootopia.a.jpg\" title=\"Zootopia.a.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/thumbs\/th-Zootopia.a.jpg?resize=319%2C134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My favorite scene is with the sloths.\u00a0 Judy and Nick go to check a license plate and all the workers at the DMV are sloths.\u00a0 The main sloth named Flash (Raymond S. Persi) says everything slowly. Judy is in a big rush and to make the process even slower, Nick tells Flash a joke.\u00a0 This is one of the funniest scenes that got lots of laughs from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s animation is incredible. It\u2019s filled with lots of color and creative, minute details.\u00a0 In one scene, Judy travels through the different zones of Zootopia and, in the rainforest zone, it starts raining and the rain hits the train.\u00a0 This scene is filled with detailed <a onfocus=\"this.blur()\" onclick=\"ps_imagemanager_popup(this.href,'zootopia.c.jpg','1311','556');return false\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/zootopia.c.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"317\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"134\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" title=\"zootopia.c.jpg\" alt=\"zootopia.c.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/thumbs\/th-zootopia.c.jpg?resize=317%2C134\" \/><\/a>colors and light.<\/p>\n<p><em>Zootopia<\/em> is a mystery movie, but it is also a comedy.\u00a0 The mystery part of this movie could be scary to little kids because there are dark scenes with intense action and it shows some animals going savage.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple scenes with nude animals.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t that bad because it only shows animals without clothes on.\u00a0 It is funny though because the animals freak out even though, in real life, animals are always \u201cnude\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I rate this movie a 4.5 out of 5 stars because there are some scenes little kids might find scary but everything has a reason even if it doesn\u2019t seem important at the time.\u00a0 Since this is a Disney movie, some parents might think it is good for all ages. But, I recommend it for kids age 6 to 15 because of the fear factor. If your kids like mysteries and dark scenes then, that won\u2019t be a problem.

The characters belong to the zoo animals\u2019 collection. It is hilarious because all the animals act like humans and engage in everyday, normal conversations like we do. Directors, Byron Howard and Rich Moore have delivered a creative and amazing story filled with imagination.<\/p>\n<p>In the city of Zootopia the animals live a diversified life. They all get along with each other until a plague hits some of the animals and they start to be aggressive with each other. A fugitive con artist \/ fox named Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) and a rookie bunny cop named Judy Hoops, (Ginnifer Godwin) work together to uncover the conspiracy that is taking over their city. You will not believe the deception that is taking place.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D110wVXlFUg\"><\/p>\n<p><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>My most memorable scene is when the bunny first goes to Zootopia. I liked this part best because, when she is on the train, you see the entire city of Zootopia. It made me feel like I was part of the scene touring Zootopia with Judy. This section of the film<a onfocus=\"this.blur()\" onclick=\"ps_imagemanager_popup(this.href,'zootopia.d.jpg','486','720');return false\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/zootopia.d.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"149\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" height=\"220\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\" alt=\"zootopia.d.jpg\" title=\"zootopia.d.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/thumbs\/th-zootopia.d.jpg?resize=149%2C220\" \/><\/a> shows each part of the city and reveals all the different scenery in each section. This is the coolest scene and is so beautifully detailed.<\/p>\n<p>The setting of this story made me feel like I wanted to be a part of this world of Zootopia. The colors are very bright and it looks like an amusement park with plenty of animals.<\/p>\n<p>The moral message of this film is that you should never let anyone bring you down or stop you from being the person you want to be. People may try to break you down, but you can\u2019t let them.\u00a0 You can be whatever you want to be in this world of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend <em>Zootopia <\/em>for ages 6 to 18 and I give it 5 out of 5 Stars because it is child friendly, hilarious, exciting and everyone will enjoy it.
