Zootopia 2
Zootopia 2, while still just as fun and colorful, isn’t as clever or thoughtful as the original. The pacing is relentless, and everything is overexplained to the point that even the kids in our audience, were like “okay, we get it!” If you’ve seen the original, it’s still worth a watch, but it will leave a bit to be desired.

A fun, but not nearly as good, sequel to the original. The pacing here was my biggest issue - everything felt incredibly fast and splashy, like it was designed for someone with zero attention span. Still, the Zootopia universe is really creative and fun to explore! If there’s a third, I’ll definitely see it.

I have already gotten hate for this take, but I may like this film more than the original, but for argument's sake I am going to give it a tie. To follow up the original Zootopia takes a lot. My favorite part of this film is the world building. We get a lot more insight into the world, how it works, and how it was created. Overall, it is important to remind myself that this is meant for kids, so a lot needs to be overly explained. That, along with some pacing issues with how the plot moves, causes it to miss an elite score, but I had a great time! I think anyone who likes the original needs to find time to see this because it is a fun ride.
