Zootopia+ Season 1 Episodes 1 and 2 review

The first thing I need to address is the title. It’s simple but it doesn’t really feel like a title.

It just seems rather flat. Title aside, episodes 1 and 2 were fun, especially episode 2.

We see Fru Fru for a few moments in Zootopia, yet we don’t know much about her. We get to learn more about her in probably the most hilarious way.

Making her the star of her own reality show is perfection! I thought it was incredibly clever and really emphasizes how similar the world of Zootopia is to our own.

Both episodes do end on a positive note, with a lesson or moral to be told. Episode 1 reminds us how through teamwork anything can be achieved.

Episode 2 reminds us that those who know us best are our family. Both episodes were relatively quick and easy to watch, as they told two different stories with lots of laughs and love!

dark. Next. Does The Mandalorian Season 3 have an official release date?
