Zootopia 2 was actually really good. Better than the first by far. It also teaches kids that people with power and money will do anything they can to maintain power, and they can never be trusted.

Overall I felt like it was a 9.5/10

wasn't expecting it to be about... settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing...

I know, but that's what's just about art. It can address very real problems in a manner abstract enough to be pleasing to any adult or child with a functioning moral compass.

That is art, that is the art part of artists and creators who try to work in the industry and have to fight/trick executives to get their stories told. Those executives just want safe slop like Avatar or marvel/DC movies.

I didn't think it was as good as the first, mostly because it didn't dedicate enough time to those themes or its villains. It's the same runtime but has more characters and way more action/chase scenes. Something has to give, unfortunately. Having said that, it's an animated family film so I don't particularly care if it's a bit light on story. The action/chase stuff was at least as funny and creative as the first film, and there was way more of it. That's definitely more than enough reason to go see the film.

Seconded. Took two of my kids to see it, and I think I enjoyed it the most.

1st one is good. The sequel is great.

This makes me pretty excited, because Zootopia was already my favorite disney movie in the last 10 years.
