Zootopia
The directors of Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled team up for this Disney family animated comedy set in a world where humans never existed, leaving the Earth populated with walking, talking, texting animals of all different breeds.
Ginnifer Goodwin (Once Upon a Time) voices Judy Hopps, a bright and motivated bunny looking to make a difference by being the first rabbit police officer. Looking to prove her worth to the unconvinced chief of police, she takes on a missing person’s case. Unfortunately for her, she needs the help of a sly and uncooperative fox, voiced by Jason Bateman (Arrested Development). As the clues start to roll in, the pair gets a whiff of something sinister underlying Zootopia, but just when the case appears to be cracked, the city and all its citizens face an even greater threat…
Also features a track from pop singer Shakira, who voices a gazelle in the film named, erm, Gazelle.

Just Brilliant.
Hands down the best Disney animated film since the Lion King. Reminiscent of Disney's Robin Hood, The Rescuers, and Basil the Great Mouse Detective, Zootopia delivers a rip roaring adventure, with great characters, laugh out loud moments, and a deep, rich world. Niece and nephew were a little scared in a couple of places but left the cinema shouting,...
Favourite Film this year? I think YES
This latest Disney animated film is full of jokes that had the adults in the cinema chuckling while the jokes flew right over the kids' heads. There was plenty of laughs for the kids (plus a few scary moments too) so don't worry about that! It's a great buddy comedy, filled with often subtle social commentary and is incredibly well written. The voice...
