We Got Our Paws on the Zootopia DVD and Toys by TOMY!

Have you watched Disney’s Zootopia yet?  You probably have, but if not, please watch it soon!  It’s one of my kids’ new favorite movies, and I can’t lie – it’s one of my new favorites, too!  I honestly loved it, and I can’t wait to watch it again.

I’m sure most of you are already familiar with Zootopia, even if you haven’t had a chance to watch the movie.  It follows the story of Judy Hopps, an energetic country bunny who wants nothing more than to be the first rabbit police officer in the big city of Zootopia. When she finally gets there, it’s not all she had hoped. People are slow to accept her, she’s mocked for her small size, she doesn’t get the kind of police job she wants, and she ends up butting heads with a sly-talking fox named Nick Wilde. She also has a ton of exciting encounters with animals of all kinds, including some hilarious sloths.

I don’t want to spoil anything for you, so I won’t say much beyond that. What I can say, though, is that this movie is truly funny (I literally laughed until I cried), it’s gorgeously animated, and it has a wonderful and timely message of kindness, acceptance, and appreciation of diversity. In other words, it’s well worth the watch (and the Zootopia DVD has just been released).

As I said, my kids both loved the movie, so they were thrilled to get some Zootopia toys made by TOMY.  We received two items: Judy’s Police Cruiser and a Nick Wilde Talking Plush.

Judy’s Police Cruiser is so cute, and it also comes with a 3” Officer Judy Hopps plus a 1” law-breaking mouse. The top of the car opens, so Judy can sit inside and get to work keeping the streets safe.  When you roll the car around, the blue and red lights flash, so my kids have been sending Judy and the car out on patrol, arresting all the other toys in the house. Apparently there’s been a crime spree right under my nose; luckily the trunk doubles as a jail cell.

The Nick Wilde Talking Plush is 13.5” tall, and made of a very soft fabric with big ears and bushy red tail. He’s soft enough that the kids can snuggle with him, and when you squeeze his chest, he talks (including seven different sounds and phrases from the movie). He’s really adorable, and I’ve been hearing his voice all day long, so I know the kids are enjoying him.

TOMY has a full line of Zootopia toys, and many are made on the same scale as Judy and her police cruiser, so you can collect them all and have a real Zootopia experience!  You can also get Nick’s Convertible and the Meter Maid Vehicle (I see some car chases in my future).
