Zoomania+

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.

If you love Zootopia, this is absolute essential viewing!

The animation, soundtrack and voice acting are on-point, and the writing is heartwarming, fun, and hilarious!

I love that these shorts fill-in little bits of plot from the film, it's really great. I'm going to have anew perspective on the movie when I rewatch it :-)

My only issue is that there are only six episodes! Obviously it takes a lot of time, effort and money to make these as high-quality as the film, but all-the-same, when I was done it was a bit like "oh... where's the rest?" which is a real shame. Still, I can see myself watching this multiple times :-)

Highly recommended for established Zootopia fans. Heck, I think random viewers could still enjoy it!

Well, we're here. Something has been added to Zootopia's universe after 6 years of silence and that thing is Zootopia+. Whilst one could expect something more grand given the success of the original movie, it could be explained by the possibility of producers having a sequel in works. If there's any Disney movie that needs an actual sequel so badly it's Zootopia.

Zootopia+ managed to wrap up some really unique stories for side characters, gave them more exposure, added their perspective during the original movie's run in the background and perfectly schowcased what each of the characters struggled with. Stories like the Godfather of the Bride is a good example of origins story and struggle in the humble beginnings, while others like Duke: The Musical seems to focus more on entertainment value and character's personality. Stories told more boldly seem to do better than those existing just for the sake of entertainment.

Animation is indistinguishable from the movie, so there's no complain about it. Humor is debatable, but definitely not the worse I've ever seen. Some lines actually managed to crack me up. The whole premise of Z+, on the other hand, seems like it's about just giving some of the side characters more exposure that they lacked in the original movie. Notice how characters that had fairly well explained backstory didn't receive any sort of big appearances. The main characters from the movie have short appearances and even though most of the scenes with them were recycled from the original movie, while camera angle was changed a bit, they still managed to steal the audience and leave them questioning - "Is that it?"

"We need more!" is what I take from this short episodic series. It could work as a bonus between first Zootopia and a sequel before its release, but given the fact that we still need to wait for any sort of announcment, it leaves a bad taste of just being not enough to please the fans. It's enjoyable, sometimes funny, but definitely not enough.

8/10.

I don't think it was nesscary to have shorts. I mean, I like that it develops the side characters, but I was thinking the series would be set around what goes on after the original movie. I.e I like how it shows what happened at the wedding while they were talking with the flashback. But it felt like it didnt have as much significance to the story as you think it would if the episodes were long and more connected. Like an actual series with a storyline. There were so many different ways they could have gone about doing the series. I just wish there was more or the episodes were longer in general.

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.
