Ranking March 2016's Movies - From Worst To Best

2. Zootopia

RottenTomatoes Score: 99% (8.1/10)

Box Office: Zootopia opened above box office projections thanks to unexpectedly strong reviews and word of mouth, also allowing it to beat Frozen's opening weekend. The Disney animation has just crossed $700 million worldwide and at this rate should easily obliterate the billion-dollar mark.

Verdict: Quite possibly Disney's best film since the mid-90s, Zootopia is a rousing, deceptively clever film which combines the film noir genre with a cutting, contemporary commentary on race relations and prejudice in general. With fantastic voiceover work from the likes of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, J.K. Simmons and so many more, gorgeous animation and a surprising amount of emotional heft, this has all the ingredients for not just a smash hit comedy but an instant classic.

This could easily have been a lame Madagascar rip-off but instead its depth and maturity makes it feel much more like something we'd expect to see from Pixar. Superb.
