NOW SHOWING Zootopia (PG) A clever bunny movie – correction – buddy movie set in a modern anthropomorphic city where predators and prey live together in harmony (well mostly), Zootopia teaches us that ‘anyone can be anything’ if you just keep on trying. Determined to prove to her carrot-farming parents that anyone can do anything, a strong willed Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) heads off to the big smoke city of Zootopia to ‘make the world a better place’ by becoming the first ever Bunny Cop. Succeeding in her goal of getting on the force is less than gratifying when relegated to the position of meter maid. But after falling for wily fox Nick Wilde’s (Jason Bateman) latest con artist scam on her first day, Judy doesn’t turn tail but adds the art of the hustle to her skills arsenal. With the support of Assistant Mayor Bellwether (Jenny Slate), Police Chief Bogo (Idris Elba) begrudgingly gives her 48 hours to complete an assignment or hand in
her badge, uncovering a conspiracy on a case with no witnesses, no leads and 14 missing mammals. Although a story about pursuing dreams may not sound new, Zootopia is quite original – even if it does batter viewers with somewhat PC-Central mangled messages about diversity, tolerance, trust and, er, human decency. While the animation gives us wonderfully entertaining characters to look at, it is the clever personality profiling that shines. Marlon Brando channelling crime lord rats, DMV bureaucratic sloths, a donut-addicted police officer cheetah, and a yoga au naturel performing elephant, all add to the fun while throwaway references, like the ‘carrot’ iPhone, bring a level of thoughtful cuteness to the proceedings. The verdict: Who would have thought a conflict management proficient bunny and a fox who hustles could be so on point. 4 stars. – Joanna Baker
