Zootopia

BRYCE **1/2
"Zootopia" is the latest film from Disney Animation Studios and it's a thinly veiled commentary on the prejudice and fierce tribalism within our society.  Thinly veiled may be an understatement.  The filmmakers beat you over the head with the story's message ad nauseam.  I'm fine with a family film tackling such heavy subject matter, but I felt the filmmakers stepped over the line in few places here.  For example: do we really need a reference to the interracial use of the "n" word in this type of movie?  Despite that rather major annoyance, there is much to admire in "Zootopia."  The animation is incredible, the main characters are likable and the script turns out quite a few laugh-out-loud moments.  I just wish they would've pulled back on the politics.
