An animated adventure about a bunny cop who joins forces with a fox to solve a governmental conspiracy, ZOOTOPIA (2016) was honored with an AFI AWARD in 2016 in the year of its release – recognizing it as one of the 10 outstanding films of the year. According to the official rationale, “ZOOTOPIA illustrates a tale for our times — and for all time. This animated exploration of atavism is presented with cuddly characters in confectionary colors, but laced with savage insights into issues of race and class. Directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore paint a rich canvas with rapid-fire comedy and heart-pounding action in a masterful balance between family entertainment and the darkness beneath the American ideal ‘where anyone can be anything.’”
