Zootopia is the cinematic equivalent of a Dr. Seuss novel; though mostly made for kids, it resonates with deeper and socially relevant themes. The political landscape from which this film was born is apparent almost from the start, and though at times less than subtle with its agenda, it still manages to be an incredibly witty, emotional and entertaining movie experience.
Trailers are normally such fast-paced, choppy things that the movie being sold can get lost in its rigid formula. To get a clear look at what the film itself will be is something of a rarity, which makes the boldness of the Zootopia sloth trailer impossible to miss. After a brief introduction to the spry Officer Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), it launches into what appears to be an intact scene of her and the amused Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) getting a plate run at the DMV.
