I’m kind of rushing to get this one out on time, so pardon any typo and grammar errors on this one. Disney knows their talking animal tales. From the mouse that started it all to their take on Robin Hood anthropomorphic animals are an important part of the Disney brand. Too bad they keep getting lost in the live-action remakes. No, I’m not counting the Lion King remake.
Zootopia (known as Zootropolis in a few countries) just looked like a really fun movie in a sea of films that seems to skew darker and darker. While it had a dark moment or two overall it’s a fascinating way to discuss prejudice and racism. I really wanted to see it. And a lot of the websites and webseries I partake of really wanted to talk about the ending, so the villain reveal was kind of ruined for me before I got to see it. I HATE when that happens to something I’m really looking forward to, which is why I’m upset the big moments of Avengers Endgame have already been ruined for me even if I’m not up on the specifics just yet. I expect that to be ruined too before I even get to Infinity War (my last Finally Watched was Age Of Ultron) because the internet hates me. I won’t ruin it for you but it is something worth talking about, so that’ll be a dance for me.
Note that I’m going with the Freeform airing of the movie so I don’t know if I missed anything.
