Zootropolis is by far the best comedy animation of the last 10 or even 20 years. It gets full marks 10/10 from both London Mums and London Kids Club. Even the Dads from our network attending the special screening showed extremely positive reactions to this wonderful film. Zootropolis is one of those movies you want to watch over and over again to spot all the little details that you would have missed at the first viewing. It is full of funny little details that are there but not on your face, therefore only visible to a careful looker such as the iPhone for rabbits which has a carrot instead of an apple on the back (iCarrot) or the iPaw which is the animal equivalent to the iPad for humans. This is exactly what makes Disney so special compared to many other film productions. Read further for my top ten reasons why I think Zootropolis is one of the best comedy animations of all times.
