In the last few days I've seen Kung Fu Panda 3 and Zootropolis.
Kung Fu Panda 3 pretty much continues where the second one left off, with Po meeting his real Panda father. It covers the difficulty faced by foster fathers and birth fathers quite sympathetically. The storyline is a bit supernaturalist with a villain coming back from the Spirit Realm to steal the chi life force of the living. I thought it was a good film overall.
Zootropolis (called Zootopia in other territorues) is the latest Disney. I really enjoyed it. A rabbit becomes the first bunny to become a police officer in the city of Zootropolis but struggles to be accepted because of her status as a prey species. There is a clandestine plot to drive a wedge between predator and prey species in a clever parallel to racial tensions in the human world. So a bit deeper than I was expecting and some good jokes along the way. Nice homage to the Godfather as well.
In other news Paramount has dropped The Little Prince in the States and it has been picked up by Netflix. It looks like it's not going to get a UK cinema release here after all. The trailer looked really good, so this is a shame.
