Zootopia

On Saturday I saw the movie Zootopia and I loved it! It was entertaining, funny, and had a great message. It was about the first rabbit to join the police force in the animal city of Zootopia, and how she is able to prove herself to those who doubt her abilities. She is given the assignment to find a missing otter, and she joins forces with a mischievous fox who is known for his unlawful behavior. I loved the message that each person is an individual, and we cannot make assumptions about others based on stereotypes. Never before had rabbits been in law enforcement, but Judy Hopps proved that she could be a successful police officer. The fox, Nick Wilde, grew up not wanting to be mischievous, but as other people pushed the negative fox stereotype on him he eventually became that way. Luckily, he has a change of heart and accepts a job to work with Judy in the Police Department. I love that there are movies like this that can be entertaining for kids and still teach an important life lesson.
