Zootopia looks to be a rather funny and charming animation, just as much of a visual delight as all past Disney CG animations…. Yes, including the abominable sh*t-stain that is Frozen.

Something that I think to be rather bizarre, however, is that the very first teaser released for the movie felt the need to explain the concept, as though it were so alien that it would otherwise frighten the kiddies: anthropomorphic animals.

Has it really been that long since such creations were mainstream that the idea of walking, talking cartoon critters would confuse present-day kids?!
I guess so. I can’t really think of any (good) modern-day animated cartoons that feature a fuzzy cast, and the only critter left in the world of video games is Sonic, who hasn’t been entertaining since 1994.
The damn things were everywhere when I was a kid. There was such saturation of the market that Disney had to start making up whole NEW animals in an attempt to stand out:

It’s kind of depressing to think that, up until this point, a generation hasn’t seen a single fluffy tail on their TV screen. Cartoon animals are one of those keys that unlocks the imagination, because if you can accept the fact that a talking bear flies a cargo plane or a Scottish duck owns a mountain-sized vault of money, you’re immediately granted permission to enjoy all manner of whimsy. Your creative mind no longer needs to conform to the bounds of reality. The words “That’s silly” are squashed by the words “That’s fun”.
