You can forget anything else in this genre, this is a stone cold masterpiece. It's the best animated film of it's type and I hesitate to call it a children's film as, let's face it, children aren't the target market, it's adults who can't concentrate.
Rookie police officer, Judy Hopps, hopes to make the world a better place when conman, Nick Wilde, comes into view and makes her life tricky.
With it's layers of political intrigue and the tough realities that naïve Judy has to face this is a pretty realistic painting of life as it is, not as we want it to be. Chasing the truth comes at a price.
The portrayal of a desperate crafty fox hustling to survive show that's brains can outwit most things if it needs to. It's depiction of a deeply corrupt ruling class rings very loudly in the era of Trump and Johnson.
It shows that in order to make the broken world a better place you have to be good, and you have to learn. It's a film I would be happy to show my kids, as well as my parents.
