Zootopia (2016), Disney

Energetic bunny Judy Hopps is determined to overcome prejudice and the concerns of her carrot-farmer parents to become the first rabbit cop in Zootopia. Ambition achieved, she finds herself relegated to parking duties instead of fighting crime and making the world a better place. But someone is abducting mammal predators and Judy enlists the talents of scamming fox Nick Wilde to solve the mystery and bring peace back to Zootopia. The metropolis of Zootopia, where animals live (mostly) in harmony is wonderfully imagined. Ginifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman are just right as Judy and Nick, while Idris Elba makes a great buffalo police chief and Shakira is pop diva Gazelle, who sings the theme song Try Everything. Winner of the 2016 Oscar for best animated film, Zootopia is a colourful and entertaining romp with an exciting crime story and small notes of amusement along the way. It makes nice points about tolerance, inclusion and striving to do your best, even if you make mistakes.
