We were there on December 4. It was delayed twice (back to back) and we ended up leaving after waiting a long time in the lobby area of the theatre during both delays. Have there been any other delays like that?

Free Mickey ice cream bars? I LOVE Mickey ice cream bars! All I have to do is… Hmmm… nope. Still wouldn’t be enough to get me to say anything positive about Z******* or this rip-and-replace bungling.

Well what do they do for the alternative character that gets shot into a wall? Does another drone do a cam shot?

I am sure the genuinely creative ones do care but the people in charge with the money tend to get their way in these cases.

I know the Danny Trejo lizard appears during the musical number.

But if you notice, they completely left out the non-mammalians that were the subject of Zootopia 2. To be honest, they could hand out free mickey bars and still not salvage a positive crowd review.

Burbank thought it would be a solid hit, based on their spreadsheets. What could go wrong?

Dang. More indication this will quickly become a glorified space for air conditioning where everytone will be catching up with their phones and not paying any attention to the film :(

The argument that the designers really cared but still produced Zootopia (or Tiana’s) is far more unkind than the one I was making. Teams that care can make all sorts of terrible products for all sorts of reasons, but they are usually terrible in a different and more interesting way from Zootopia. Zootopia is the most unimaginative, low-effort, clip-show product possible. The closest parallel that springs to mind might be that Narnia show MGM featured for a bit.
