Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2025 film Zootopia 2.
Story
The movie pulls from the buddy cop tropes but like the first, it infuses it with heart, empathy, and more than a dash of political commentary.
Score: 1
Characters
Making the main conflict between the main characters be fear of losing each other was not only sweet but a great continuation of their dynamic from the first movie.
The new characters fit well into the found family? pack? Fluffle!
Score: 1
Dialogue
There were a lot of good lines and callbacks to the first movie. The dry sarcasm and loving jibes never felt overdone.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
I was amazed by the snow and water. Disney has come a long way with its digital animation. The framing and cinematography were great.
The music was almost as epic as the first one.
Score: 1
Fun
This felt like coming back to a great story and not like a disconnected sequel. I had a lot of fun and the rest of the family loved it.
I really appreciated the social commentary and jabs at modern politics.
Score: 1
Overall
All the charm of the first movie with a whole new adventure. This feels like a perfect continuation and was done with respect and empathy.
Final Score: 5 Stars out of 5*
*A 5 star review doesn’t mean the movie was perfect nor that it is perfect for everyone but it is a movie I believe is as close to perfect as possible.
