Cartoons about talking animals have been filmed for 100 years, and in this, the authors for some reason decided to explain why animals have cities! As if otherwise the viewer would have some questions. In the first 6 minutes, several scenes of cruelty were shown, including a child beating, as well as a scene of falling into the toilet. In general, the beginning is disappointing.
Many strange scenes and assumptions:
- Why is the heroine the first cop rabbit? In a world where there are a lot of little criminals, you need little cops.
- The fox couldn't make much money on the ice cream scam. If the original large ice cream cost 15 bucks, then when divided into a bunch of parts, the price could not significantly increase.
- Shakira as a gazelle was not needed in the film, her presence is absolutely intrusive and is her PR.
- The nudist scene. I know it's silly to talk about naked animals, but this scene plays with concepts. As I imagined all these beasts with naked shame. The scene left an unpleasant impression.
- The fox sold to the godfather... animal skin! I remind you that this is the world of intelligent animals. Did he kill a dude somewhere for this or rip off a left corpse? Why is he so quietly fishing in the city? And why did he do that, get tired of living?
- The plot at first develops due to a number of pianos in the bushes.
- Judy knew about dangerous plants, and her father grew them. How could she not know their second name and not think what exactly is the matter? And why is a plant that causes such an effect not prohibited and can be grown in gardens? This is the most serious hole in the cartoon.
However! The cartoon is so high-quality, beautiful and expensive made that it covers all the minuses well. Great characters, good jokes, sometimes with references that not everyone will notice (for example, the moment “wolf in sheep’s clothing”). After the first hour, the plot really famously twists and it is very even watchable for adults. Much like the movie "Top Cops" with Simon Pegg. The touching scene under the bridge really crushes a tear, much done. I was also struck by the fact that the smallest psychological details are involved, for example, at a press conference, Judy gives a speech on an automatic machine, in which the engrams of childhood are visible (a performance in a children's theater, the words of a fox about DNA) - this is gorgeous! This is how it works with people, and much of what we say is the result of rooted unconscious experience.
In general, despite some disadvantages in the beginning, the cartoon is good, emotional, not stupid, with a very competent balance of comedy, drama, detective and thriller.
