Hi, Page Turner here! I recently got to go see Zootopia. I'm here now to let you know if the Disney Studios new movie was really the bees knees or if it deserved to be in the dog house. Hop onto the nearest monorail out of Bunny Burrow, keep your paws, tails, and ears within the moving vehicle and beware of spoilers!
Zootopia is the city where anyone can be anything. At least, that's what young Judy Hopps was told as a small bunny born to carrot farmers in Bunny Burrow. And if she can be anything, she decides, she wants to be a police officer, a job usually reserved for predator animals. When Gideon Grey, a kid fox in the Burrow, bullies her and tells her that she'll never be a cop, she gets both a resolve for her dream, and hesitation for foxes. Many years later, with a graduation from police training at the top of her class, Judy Hopps leaves her family to go to Zootopia, to fulfill her dream as being on its police force. As her parents give her a healthy dose of love, hesitation, and a bottle of fox-repellent, Judy Hopps is all set to take Zootopia by storm---even if everyone else thinks she's as mad as a March hare. Once she arrives, however, its hard to ignore the elephant in the room: she's unwanted. Although they have numerous missing persons cases, Judy is assigned to parking duty. Willing to make the best of it, and hoping to advance to be 'a real cop', Judy Hopps gives out parking tickets and makes friends with a nice fox named Nick Wilde. Once the excitement of parking duty wears off, Judy Hopps finds herself accidentally making investigations, stopping a weasel from stealing plants, and realizing that Nick Wilde was a tricky conman who lied to her. When Judy Hopps finally gets a real case, she finds that Nick came in contact with her missing animal. Teaming up with the suave yet courageous fox, Judy Hopps must overcome savage animals, angry rodents, and her own prejudice to realize that maybe our differences aren't so extreme after all.
I really liked Zootopia. It's a visually colorful and exciting movie, with humor, friendship, and loyalty lying at its heart. Although it's not perfect, Disney Studios creates another good movie. As people, we're different in many different ways. We look different, we hold different jobs, we like different things. But we're also the same: we're all sinners. We all need grace, and we all need God. As believers, we're still different in our looks and personalities, but God has called us to be a family, a Church, to grow in our faith and point everyone to Him. As Christians, we're called to share the gospel with everyone, from the tiniest bunny to the suave fox. (Metaphorically speaking of course) Although Zootopia capitalized on today's high tolerance message that says everyone's right, no matter what, you don't have to look at it that way. We're not bringing the Gospel because everyone's right: we're bringing it because we're all sinners, so everyone can know God. So hop on out there, bring the Good News to everyone! And why you're at it, maybe watch Zootopia, 'cause you'll have a wild ride. Four Stars!
