Zootrópolis+

Zootopia+(2022-) is a series my daughter and I recently watched on Disney+. The series is made up of short stories of the animals that reside in the town of Zootopia+. They all have different goals, ambitions and objectives and they're also all different shapes and sizes. We watch as the animals work to overcome various obstacles to complete various tasks.

This series is codirected by Trent Correy (Once Upon a Snowman) and Josie Trinidad and contains the voices of John Lavelle (Selma), Katie Lowes (Scandal), Joey Lawrence (Blossom), Alan Tudyk (A Knight's Tale) and Idris Elba (The Losers).

The animation for this series is absolutely out of this world. The depiction of the characters, universe and circumstances is amazing. Theres also great use of colors and shadows. There's some good lessons sprinkled in throughout the episodes and some fun humor too. The Godfather episode was me favorite and the Cheetah episode was hilarious. I do wish the episodes were longer than 10 minutes.

Overall, this is definitely a worthwhile series that is fun for the entire family. I would score this an 8/10 and strongly recommend it.

My friend and I watched all the episodes of Zootopia+ and we really had fun. We watched each episode several times and recognized new things and details (which can be secrets!) every time. Although there were some little bugs and illogical events and things, these series made us satisfied and really delighted.

Every episode reminded me good moments that I had while watching Zootopia: The Movie. It is one of the best films I've ever watched and I feel that this mini series is a great and absolutely brilliant way for remembering all those fascinating and wonderful moments that we all had while watching Zootopia. It's a really great choice for watching with your family or friends and have a good time with them.

Zootopia+ is presented in a similar format to I Am Groot which came out a little over 3 months ago, after seeing them execute that and since I'm a huge Zootopia fan I was excited for this, but I finished it ultimately feeling like I wasted my time.

Zootopia+ is the definition of hit or miss, literally only half of these shorts were worth watching, the dance episode, the dinner episode, and the wedding episode were all terribly disappointing and even the actually good episodes felt like they had something missing.

I know for a fact young kids, aka the target audience, will enjoy this, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

The remaining episodes featured characters displaying unintelligent behavior or being exceedingly dull, which was not in alignment with my anticipated and expected viewing experience.

I would strongly advise exclusively watching "The Godfather of the Bride" and "The Real Rodents of Little Rodentia" as, despite "Duke the Musical" managing to sustain my interest, it still constituted a substantial squandering of time.

Had I been exposed to the two commendable episodes initially, I would not have rendered it a rating of 5, and I would have been spared the encounter with the bathroom humor and infantile content of the first episode, the disappointment of the third, the idiocy of the fifth, and the profoundly monotonous sixth. Nonetheless, it is noteworthy that all voice actors returned for pecuniary reasons.

Should a second season be produced, I sincerely hope for a marked improvement.

Six shorts in the world of Zootopia+

These short episodes are fine, and flesh out the world of Zootopia a bit more, but they also don't go very deep. They just kind of exist as filler - literally, they fill some small gaps from the Zootopia movie and nothing more. They're nice for something by short to throw on in the background, but there isn't much else here.

However, I think these shorts do demonstrate a place to develop the Zootopia world more, maybe in an ongoing show, or a sequel flick.

However, these by themselves hardly satisfy the desire for more of what made Zootopia a great film.
