It has been a long time since I've witnessed a Disney film that felt 'Disney' to me, especially one without a Princess or random musical breakouts (aside from Gazelle). It was fun, deep, and yet packed with moments for the parents. Love it!

Disney has once again really blown me away by their insane attention to detail. You can feel a greater connection to the characters in the movie because of the realism. Absolutely gorgeous.

Zootopia Animator: Please let me go home I'm so tired

Disney: Give the animals individual hairs

[artbyaline]

To be able to see fur silhouette while animating... what a dream!

[tswfootball]

This was an incredible movie. One of the best animated movies I've seen in a while!

[beestarjay]

This movie was a 500/10! I love all the attention to detail and the animation blew me away when I saw it in theatres

[djtundra]

They didn't really talk much about the software itself... :/

[Elloignika]

Thank god these people have their time to make a great animation....unlike other movies like Minions.

[rainbowshydash]

zootopia is now my number one favorite movie

[skybreakerify]

right after i saw zootopia i sayd to myself let there be another zootopia movie <3"

[Tendo]

It's funny how everyone calls this a "Furry movie" because it has anthropomorphic animals

...Where have all of you been in the last eighty years?

[Chihirolee]

This is the first movie in my life that I want to see again in theaters!

[novaistired]

I will never get over the amount of attention and effort Disney gives thier movies like they spend, what, 2, 3 years? working to create this 2 hour film that wil probably get completely underappreciated and underrated, thrown under the stupid kids movies bus, and yet they never stop putting so much love into these movies. and that is something I have a very hard time imagining anybody doing, but they do it. That means a lot to me and so does this movie

[anushpadas]

This...is mind blowing. Even after like really appreciating the whole fur and animation and movement and expression, there are things I didn't realise like fucking light and shadows man. obsessed.

[shinhyejae]

Using a powerful laptop, I already have problems with rendering a single highly detailed fur creature. These blew my mind off

[Montesama]

Every time I see a movie clip of this, I just pause and replay small sections, just to watch Nick or Judy emote, watching characters move. Every time an animal scurries away in fright... or how Nick's ears flatten to his head and his teeth bare themselves a bit with his anger... or how Judy's rabbit ears are so expressive! The detail just ASTOUNDS me.

I think I won't even be able to finish the DVD I'll buy, because I'll be rewinding and staring repeatedly.

[godsgutz]

this movie was amazing, how planned out it was, the animation and actual detail was amazing.

[giannieditsvideos]

Animation fascinates me so much especially 3D. Wish I could take like courses for this in school or something

[MegaChickenfish]

It's so interesting how films continue to push the boundaries to newer and greater heights. Animating *millions of individual hair follicles.* Imagine showing that to Walt back when he was individually drawing every single frame of Mickey Mouse.
