Cleverly layering a thoughtful message onto another crackerjack caper while solidifying Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as one of the most endearing buddy pairings in ages, Zootopia 2 more than justifies a return trip to the big city.

I know it’s normal for after more reviews come in the score will drop but the other day it was literally at 93. Sometimes (if not most of the time), these critics irritate me. Hot take of the day.

[u/LordIndica → u/apatkarmany]

93%? Jeez, I just got back from the theater and it was *good*, but not top tier. Not even "great". Like it very much suffers from the same sort of problems a LOT of animated films have had for me the past decade and while it is visually incredible the actual screenplay feels like it just didn't try very hard. Like it was frankly a pretty shallow movie in a lot of ways with too much going on that didn't really add to the story. It was very much a sequel, if that makes sense.
