Zootopia




Zootopia is a metropolis where predators and prey live together in harmony.  When some carnivores disappear, young rabbit police officer Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) works with wily fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) to solve the case and uncover prejudice against carnivores.

Zootopia is an enjoyable movie.  Judy and Nick are likable, and the interaction between the characters is entertaining.  The theme of a diverse society living together peacefully is a good one, although the idea of carnivores and herbivores not doing things according to their nature is rather far-fetched.  Still, the issue of prejudice is a relevant one, as is the idea of Judy being discriminated against and not being allowed to be a police officer because she is a rabbit. 
I would give this movie a 4/5.  It might be a little too intense for very young children, but older children would probably like Zootopia.
