Zootopia

On Tuesday, April 5, 2016, I went to see the movie Zootopia.  This is the latest Disney feature about animals who end up being like humans and working and stuff like that.  The story is about Judy Hopps, a bunny who comes from a family of carrot and vegetable farmers.  However, she is different than her parents and her siblings.  She wants to become a police officer.  People try to get in her way and persuade her to do other things, but she sticks by her dream.

Eventually, she does become the first bunny cop and is assigned to Precinct 1, right in the heart of Zootopia.  However, the chief there does not take her seriously.  She gets assigned to parking metre attendant to write tickets.

On her first day, she comes across a fox with his baby who is trying to buy a giant elephant sized popsicle.  However, in general, the animals don't trust foxes.  So, the store owner, an elephant, does not want to sell the popsicle.  Officer Hopps interjects and gets the owner to sell the fox, whom we find out later is named Nick Wilde, to be able to sell the popsicle...  Nick also "forgets" his wallet, and Officer Hopps willingly pays for the popsicle.

However, she was tricked.  She bumps into Nick Wilde again and sees that he takes the giant popsicle, melts it down into jars, takes it to polar tundra to form small popsicles, which he then sells at $2/pop to business mice.  Being angry about being swindled, she confronts Nick, but is not successful.

Eventually, she stumbles into a case about the missing mammals and makes a bet with her police chief that if she does not find the missing mammals in 48 hours, then she will resign.

What happens?  You'll have to watch the movie to find out!

This is a fun movie with a great story line and lots of great jokes.  I had many hearty laughs.
