Zootropolis is an engaging film set in a world populated by animals. It focuses on stereotypes and challenges them by showing that anyone can do anything irrespective of their background and abilities. The main character is a rabbit called Judy who proves others wrong when she becomes a police officer. The other inhabitants of Zootropolis didn't think she would make a good police officer because rabbits were thought of as weaker animals who didn't have the skills needed for the job, but Judy worked hard and was enthusiastic which meant that she was successful.

Zootropolis is an animated film produced by Disney. The animation is of a very high quality and the film has a colourful and vibrant design. This appeals to a wide audience but it is targeted mostly at younger viewers who will find its story line, characters and action very enjoyable. The message in Zootropolis is also very important as it encourages young people to believe that anything is possible.

The film starts off with Judy as a young bunny trying to pursue her dreams of becoming a police officer. When she grows up she achieves her goal, but is only given the easy jobs, such as giving out parking tickets. However, when an otter comes along to tell her that her husband has gone missing, Judy decides to investigate, but she only has 48 hours to crack the case. The film follows her investigation as she and her new friend (a fox) travel the length and breadth of the city, encountering savage animals and unpredictable criminals, as well as a slow but hilarious sloth!

Although it challenges stereotypes, the film also sometimes promotes them too, which is the film's one weakness. For example, although I laughed out loud at the sloth scene, it still showed sloths as slow and unintelligent animals rather than depicting them in a different light.

To conclude, I think that over all message and plot of Zootropolis is very good and the film as a whole was very enjoyable to watch. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good fun story and lots of action in a film.
