Zootopia+

For a world as rich and expansive as the one set up in Zootopia, it's a shame that we only got 6 ten-minute shorts in this TV series. It felt like there could have been much more to develop. However, what was here was at least enjoyable. I think I enjoyed the Godfather episode the best because it provided great backstory for one of the best side-characters in the original film. It is sort of a shame there wasn't more to see of Judy and Nick, although let's hope they save all that for a proper sequel that I'm praying will be announced soon. So, overall, I enjoyed this and it had some very funny moments, but this world created by the original film deserved a little more than an anthology.

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.

Zootopia+ is a short spin-off series of Disney's Zootopia, one of my favourite animated films. In this series, every episode focuses on different characters who were there in the small part of the film. The thing I liked the most here is the crossover scenes with the movie, loved the smart writing.

All the things were simultaneously happening, it was so good to watch. Another thing I liked here is that every episode is genre specific. Episode 4 is my favourite, others were enjoyable too. Hope to see more of like this in future. I am always ready to watch anything in the world of Zootopia.

Available on Disney+ Hotstar.

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.

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.
