Zootopia

Zootopia directed by Byron Howard, Rich Moore, and Jared Bush, with the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, Bonnie Hunt, Tommy Chong, J. K. Simmons, and Alan Tudyk.

One of the best kids movies and family to be made - hands down.  It's basically just a buddy cop movie for kids and all the better for it.  It also isn't trying to make some kind of political statement but instead relies on the old tried to true formula - character is the best thing.  Create good characters and no matter how crazy or insane the story line, it won't matter one bit because the characters will move the story line a long. 

I just loved the premise of this movie. 

The world building of this movie was also out of this world as it showed so much of the world in the beginning but then only explored a few sections of this world leaving everyone at the end of it just wanting more.  A sequel will be justifiable and well deserved.  That's another thing that made this movie work is that it didn't try to do to much but stayed focused on the two main characters, then let them walk through the story and introduce the world as they solved the mysterious macguffin of the story.  This movie has more heart, focus, passion, characterization, story, and better acting than about 75% of the movies that Hollywood churns out.
