Zootopia (2016), directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, is a vibrant and socially conscious animated film set in a city where anthropomorphic animals of all species coexist. The story follows Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin), an optimistic and determined rabbit who becomes the first of her kind to join the Zootopia Police Department. When Judy is assigned to a minor case, she stumbles upon the mysterious disappearances of predators across the city. Teaming up with Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman), a street-smart fox with a checkered past, Judy begins unraveling a conspiracy that threatens to destabilize the harmony between predators and prey.

 As the duo delves deeper into the investigation, they uncover a sinister plot that manipulates societal fears, leading to the criminalization of predators based on a dangerous stereotype. Through their unlikely partnership, Judy and Nick learn to break down personal biases and challenge the assumptions society has about them. The film explores themes of prejudice, equality, and the importance of understanding others, while highlighting the significance of working together to overcome societal challenges.

Zootopia is widely praised for its humor, detailed world-building, and its exploration of complex social issues, making it a standout animated film. The supporting voice cast includes Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Jenny Slate as Bellwether, and Shakira in a special musical appearance as the pop star Gazelle. With its clever writing and visually stunning animation, Zootopia became a critical and commercial success, grossing over $1.025 billion globally, becoming one of Disney’s top-performing films, and winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
