Zootopia - 2016

Loved it! So cute ! The animals act like humans (there are no humans in this world) but it’s very nice, they’re not really humans, they’re civilized animals who stopped killing each other :p although it’s not specified of course what lions and such eat...
It’s about little bunny Judy who wants to become a police officer, but there are no bunnies in the police force ... she doesn’t give up, she grows up and joins the police academy, and is good at it. Officially become an officer, she goes to Zootropolis full of hopes and dreams. At first, she’s on parking duty , but that’s not what she wants to do, she wants to be a real police officer! So at the first opportunity she promises an otter that she’ll find her missing husband. Her boss only gives her 48 hours to find him, although many other animals have disappeared and the department hasn’t found them after two weeks.... she starts investigating, and she can only start with fox Nick Wilde, the only one she knows that was near the scene when the otter went missing. He’s a hustler, but she records him saying how much money he’s ever made and she blackmails him into helping her or he’ll go to jail for evading taxes... they manage to find the plate of the car he was in, then go to find the owner of the car, but all the workers are sloths and when she can finally get the name it’s night already... they finally find the car, and it shows clear sign of battle. They meets Mr Big, the mole who owns the car, and he looks like a mob-godfather... he’s about to ‘ice them’ but it turns out that his daughter is the little one Judy saved earlier, so dad helps them instead, telling them that the otter became suddenly wild and attacked the driver himself... they go talk with the jaguar driver but suddenly he becomes wild too. They look at the traffic cameras thanks to the help of sheep-assistant mayor. They see that some wolves took the jaguar away, out of town. They go there and find all the missing animals, and also the mayor himself trying to keep it a secret, with staff trying to figure out what happened to them. All the victims, the animals that went wild, were predators, and since the mayor is a lion he didn’t want everybody to know that. Judy arrests him, and the case solved... it seems, but it’s not, yet.
Judy has to talk at a press conference, and she’s very nervous. Now friends, she tells Nick that he could become a police officer too and work with her, but then she tells the journalists that all the wild animals were predators only, and that it might be a genetic thing, that it might be something in their dna... she keeps on talking, not realising that she’s creating big trouble... silly naive girl...
Nick is hurt by her words, and leaves. The city becomes divided, preys start being scared/suspicious of predators, and she feels really bad for ruining the city. Now the sheep-assistant-mayor is the new mayor, but Judy quits her job, thinking she failed, she wanted to make the world a better place and instead she made it a worse one. 
She goes back home, to work with her parents.. to discover that she actually got to them with her ideals on all animals working together, and they are actually in business with a fox ! The same one that was a bully when they were little kids, is now a better fox (from how he talks I’d say after a good therapy..) and makes cakes. From him, she learns that a certain kind of blue flowers is called ‘the night howlers’, and that a rabbit went savage after eating them... so she goes back to Zootropolis and finds Nick, apologises and they keep working together :-)
They find a weasel that stole night-howlers and he says he sold them to a ram.. they find him, and discover that he’s using the flowers to make a drug that, when it hits an animal, makes him go wild... later on it turns out that it was all a plan by sheep-now-mayor who hates predators and framed them. 
She’s arrested of course, and Nick becomes a police officer and starts working with Judy :-) 
All the animals that were affected by the serum are cured, and Zootropolis is back to normal :-)

I liked it a lot, the moments the characters showed signs of acting like the animals they are were adorable... although at the beginning they had a fox acting like a feline... when Judy was young, fox-bully Gideon took out his claws and scratched her face.. like a cat... but foxes are of the canidae-family, they are not feline, can they really act like that?? Not for nothing when later on Nick pretends to be wild and to kill her, he bites her, that’s much more natural.
