…It’s a complex film.

OK, for background: there’s a bunch of stuff in this video that’s of interest.

Continue reading A suggestion for a Zootopia 2 that won’t be awful because it’s a sequel.

Good, tight plot (everything got used). Engaging characters, nice characterization, really really excellent artwork. PG for being scary in places (no blood worse than scratches and I think no on-screen actual acts of violence): nine or so should be old enough to watch it. It’s a buddy cop movie with a thought-out world. I even liked the song.

So, sure, take your kids if they’re old enough.

And I’m going to go see it… for the children’s sake, you understand. They’re still pretty young. I want to make sure that Zootopia isn’t too scary for them before I go watch it. I mean, it’s PG*. I don’t want to be like one of those parents who brought their kids to go see Deadpool.

*…Huh. Actually, when I started this shtick I hadn’t realized that the movie is PG. This may be not really acceptable for my six year old, at that. Go figure.

…OK, on the other hand: this I think I would watch. There’s some world-building, there. Cleverly done, even.

It suggests something slightly weirder than you might have thought from the first trailer.

Or maybe not ‘weird’ so much as ‘complicated.’ I get the impression that they’re actually going to address the implications of having a bunch of anthropomorphic animals running around in the same space and not eating each other. They might even try to explain that, which I frankly did not expect.

Yeah, I guess I’m going to go see it. Big Hero 6 bought these guys a heck of a lot of goodwill from me.
