Movies With Butter

Let’s see how many reviews it’ll take to finally bring down the perfect 100% score that Disney Animation’s “Zootopia” is getting on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s at 93 reviews so far. Amazing.

The consensus on the reviews aggregator reads, “The brilliantly well-rounded ‘Zootopia’ offers a thoughtful, inclusive message that's as rich and timely as its sumptuously state-of-the-art animation -- all while remaining fast and funny enough to keep younger viewers entertained.”

I’ve been looking forward to “Zootopia” since its hilarious sloth trailer. The witty humor is very Pixar-esque, except it’s made by their sister company.

Disney Animation has been on a tear, both commercially and critically, since 2010’s “Tangled.” Critically, they’ve been a more consistent brand that even Pixar lately, with their last four films (“Big Hero 6,” “Frozen,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” and “Tangled”) averaging around 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It seems that Disney Animation is reaping the rewards of having John Lasseter focused on them instead of Pixar, whose recent productions haven’t been as consistently well-reviewed as those before their acquisition by Disney.

We’ll see which critic will be the first to put a blemish on this perfect film so far. I’m going with review 123. What’s yours?
