it's a very sweet and funny movie and all but damn, if i had kids, i would love for them to watch that scene where Nick explains that "if the world's only going to see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point in being anything else."

I'd be fascinated by that version, but I can easily see it being a worse film - the press conference where Judy stumbles over the line is the better because they haven't been painting the species relations in a heavy brush before.
I think there's a scene (when she comes back and apologises?) where they're wearing Robin Hood colours.
The boyfriend thing would be interesting as the one thing that's kind of awkward about the setup is that as animals all cross-species relations are sexless. Which is nice in having a central boy-girl pair that isn't a romance..

Oh I totally agree - the choices they made for the final film were much better. Just peering into an alternate universe

Agree with everything that has been said about it's depth/world building, handling of race/biology/bias/etc. I loved it but my 3 year old said halfway through, "I don't want to watch this anymore."

I made her watch it anyway.
Haven't watched it but my 6 yr old wants to watch it every day

My kids, especially the 9-year old, have it memorize. She's also still obsessed with the Shakira song.

I took the kids to see it in the theater, but my wife hadn't seen it and I knew she'd like it (despite some skepticism on her part). So we watched it last month when it came on Netflix, and she was charmed and impressed by it. Held up well to a second viewing for me.

imagine what it must be like whenever there's a parasite outbreak. everybody with friends in the tundra probably surfs a couch for weeks on end until they get the all clear. everybody without friends in the tundra just ends up looking & feeling like the zootopia version of the lawyer from The Night Of
