[07:26] The sheer parental accuracy. Not that anyone who enjoys Cinema's corporate for many phones, smashing or breaking them doesn't make them untraceable. Just there. Eh, seems legit. Cheese wedge armrests.

[07:39] >> YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH TOO MUCH. >> IT'S KIND OF fun seeing a smooth operator just have absolutely no pull with someone. Very Jim and Charles. >> Kiss my wings. >> Get the stinking RING RIGHT NOW.

[08:20] like that. It's often done to warn other beavers that a predator is near, such as coyotes, wolves, or or even well, you know, foxes. This is likely one of those particular asset. In this case, a plexiglass tube filled with water. And

[08:34] applied to it, it behaves correctly. But that doesn't stop me from noticing the as the lookdev, lighting artists, tech animators, and general effects artists have the correct index of refraction when viewed through the tubes. TLDDR, it

[09:47] >> Dang, that coin and touchloving seal didn't even hesitate. Jim, it's really This is just good budgeting. Make the bouncer also be the door. He's already sitting anyway. 45 minute behind the music special on this band. Need it.

[09:59] Cantina band. Never heard of him. Frill and Joe in the shell shock tones. The problem with EGAs for animated films is that almost every scene has too many stuff. So much things. It's too good. >> Whoops.

[10:15] still works on some. Interestingly enough, excluding some very rare cases, rabbits are herbivores. Foxes, on the other hand, will eat worms and grubs. vegan, although more likely just a snob. >> Cuz a tortoise died for it. I am

[10:29] >> Cuz a tortoise died for it. I am guessing that it was a slow death. That >> And that's when the Lynxley's expanded tundra town. Marsh Market will be buried >> The thing I love about this scene is that as time goes on and the mystery

[10:43] around lizards goes away, you realize this isn't a CD speak easy with mood can feel comfortable. And the red light is for heat, just like a reptile tank in real life. >> This is Alen Tudy really letting

[10:55] everyone know whose side he's on. Maybe everyone will see we ain't that different. [laughter] the lizard sound so old and distraught, but he still moves like a young. The

[11:08] music cut makes it even more ridiculous. Gary is great, but I do not care for his slithering across the surface of the water. Must be hungry hippos. Hungry >> Good luck. I LOVE YOU. >> Nibbles is genuinely one of the best

[11:20] man. >> No, that's a red line. Red line. Red Coconut. [music] Coconut. >> You know, say what you will about Nick. far. Short round. Also, enjoy the legitimate movie review on Floats and

[11:46] >> Is uh is there anything? just long enough that it makes me laugh. Son and goats do be climbing. The irony them would have dropped down and been able to grab it. But their lack of

[11:59] the carrot broke, which is somehow the most devastating thing to happen in this I never get tired of reveling in these details. The light making her ear fuzz air, even the lens flare on her flashlight.

[12:13] >> There was a whole reptile neighborhood. The lynxes just erased it. They push more. Addressing the displacement of marginalized communities in subsequent not something I was necessarily expecting in the Talking Fox and Cute

[12:28] Bunny movie, but I'm here for it. >> I don't care about the case, Judy. It's not worth dying for. >> The world will never be a better place right thing. >> I think

[12:42] maybe maybe we are different. >> I lean more towards Judy's point of especially given that his motivation is keeping Judy alive. to something she's less concerned with. >> Oh my gosh, I think I took out a cop.

[12:56] for Peralta. Loving the reflection of the purple desert horizon in Judy's eyes. >> Water folk like foxes are lesser >> I really like that line because it exposes how absolutely idiotic and

[13:09] creatous racism is. That a lynx would think he's a higher mammal because of his stupid mustache and willingness to destroy other mammals lives. You're not smart because you exploit. You're just bad. You should have left town when you

[13:21] >> And Milton knew they were going to try to get out because Milton is a top crime without the top crime guy knowing politeness. Gary's look of embarrassment and Judy's awkward but reassuring smile. >> Don't worry about my fang. I got my own

[13:35] >> Dude was born with instant kill pokers in his mouth but keeps a magic don't die stick on him. That's a good dude. >> Stab me straight into the heart. >> Perfect cameo for Moana. There's some secret hidden in the metal cover. Only a

[13:47] snake can see. >> Not just any snake. A heat sensing pit couldn't get a partnership with the painfully simple when you actually think about it. A creature that can live in

[14:00] though they prefer cold, isn't going to notice or care about the animals who snake who needs warmth is going to be aware of everyone's issues. aware of everyone's issues. >> Nicholas Wild, BIG TIME COUGH, HUH?

[14:43] >> I hope you like my new home. I wo it with my own wool. >> Yelling jump scare for a jump scare is big brain stuff. Also, sinking into her boneless chair is amazing prop work from Hannah Baja Lect. Sorry.

[14:57] >> Hello, Nicholas. >> It's the same joke every time, and it's never not funny. We get inside, [music] turn on that switch, light the clock >> We find her patent. >> Turn on the clock tower and light the

[15:10] so we can find her patent. We need to reach the power control room, but we >> shall succeed. >> Look, Gary, if we don't overprepare, >> Judy's explaining the plan again for the kids and the second screening parents in

[15:23] stressed out and Gary is trying to help her calm down. But even this close, he wool on my shoulders. >> Man, I could use some Kihi Quan in my little things are cute.

[15:38] >> An artist of the people. >> Here comes. But it's especially fun here because the Zebras are voiced by Roman Reigns and CM >> No more tranquilizers. Put them down. >> Even without the morality of murder,

[15:52] Judy is so dang cute. How could anyone ice her? But also, Hog Bottom is such a great animal choice for this role because wild boores are omnivores. Not in between. Self-sacrifice from a good bun bun.

[16:05] I thought you knew. >> So, I spend a lot of time watching always been pretty good at seeing where things are going, which can honestly be So, when I tell you that not only did I not see this coming, but my eyebrows hit

[16:20] my hairline, please understand how big that is for me. I was 100% hoodwinkedked by the Andy Samberg routine. >> Last case, there was kind of a twist. >> I know. >> Also, Pab unravels a bit more, but he

[16:33] mean, not so much that he won't let his supposed friend freeze to death. But >> hate to leave you out in the cold, but [laughter] >> And that is the most Andy Samberg villain line of all time. Goodness, the

[16:47] the center of her vision. They really did the reflections this time, huh? did the reflections this time, huh? >> Bye, partner. so sinister. >> You can be different than your family.

[17:02] >> I don't want to be different. >> Too much realism. Pubert's tapedum lucidum really adds to his new evil image. Yeah, I know some Latin. What of it? >> We shall succeed. Judy Hops.

[17:14] her because he knows her warmth will save him, but we don't know that. So, it encouraging. Actually pretty smart of Palbert to not try to trick the trickster. >> Permission to hug.

[17:30] wins. I don't make the rules. >> She didn't make it. But with snake bites, you go fast. You'll see. >> Honestly, Andy Samberg needs to play kind of goofy and it might be hard to pull off, but he's so cold and menacing

[17:45] adorable sweater, and now he's making Judge Claude Froolo seem decent. You're going to kill us both. >> It's not worth dying for. Agree to disagree. >> Self-sacrifice from a good orange dog.

[17:59] absolutely wreck her co-workers to save Nick. Also, it's not out of the in the first movie. Hugging. I ship, guys. Of course I do. But I also really love their friendship. >> I'll help your friend.

[18:13] >> Gary knows how to read the room cuz I am an emotionally insecure source of your >> I do try too hard because deep down I'm afraid that I am what everyone thinks I I'm worried it makes me look weak. >> I feel like a common thing writers will

[18:26] characters exposit their exact emotional states. But as we become more fluent in these moments feel more and more believable. They're both being honest better message for any kids watching this. Adults do. I care about you. That

[18:41] you're the best thing that ever happened to me. Because no one [music] else in to me. Because no one [music] else in the world matters more to me than you >> No one else in the [music] world matters to me more than you do either.

[18:53] Whether it's romantic or platonic, they're succinctly affirming each feel them lighting up on the inside. >> And the thought of losing you scares me >> Well, that was uncalled for, cuz this has been my family saying forever. We're

[19:07] included. >> I'm alive by the way. I made it. Oh, >> Makes sense. Not only is he a cat, so he's going to land on his feet, but it's deep snow and he's blinks. Ha. Can only assume the bear is upset because that's

[19:21] assume the bear is upset because that's Pepsi. split second of thinking, well, it's winter, so the shining motif kind of makes sense. Oh, dang. It's a hedge maze, too. Pubert even has a jack vibe

[19:34] maze, too. Pubert even has a jack vibe going on. You say justice is dead. I say over him. The tick truly knows how to be a hero. >> Is he going to be wearing half a pants or one long sock?

[19:49] >> Closure. That's got to feel good. Love all the snake decor. Snake plushies. accents are spirals. Huh. Horizontal growth chart. I was actually bummed that clutcher. You know, an egg stealer. That'll do, pig. That'll do.

[20:06] Love that babe is obviously another cultural artifact for them. And it's important and well regarded enough that actual boores use the line as praise. Nick kept the glasses. I do appreciate the animal realism even if Fabio Horse's

[20:19] flexibility to turn those hooves 180° is beyond impressive. Paul's still stuck in forgives Gary and gets on board. It's because that's definitely what Agnes would have wanted. And based on the

[20:32] bunnies were besties. Indie short round. And I have to assume that's Willie. >> Love you, partner. But I am still me, so I'm only saying it once a decade. >> Sneaky bunny. >> Please be sure to leave us. Four thumbs

[20:46] up. >> Robert Irwin Koala. but I did find myself singing zoo constantly after seeing this film. So,

[20:59] writing this, Marggo sat in my lap at my office desk for like 25 minutes, and we just kept starting the scene over and over. >> Hey, buddy. You gonna keep playing that all night?

[21:11] >> You shut up. >> I assume writer and director Jared Bush their many meetings as the voices of Bron and Bucky. Birds, am I right? assume that will be the plot of Z3. Stop the birds from littering. And also Nick

[21:25] and Judy's wedding, obviously. >> Love you, partner. Is Zootopia 2 even never make value judgments like that because art is subjective. Do I like it can really decide on. What I will say is that while I still feel like Zootopia's

[21:40] racial allegory was a little you can't you can't see me, but it's the collar pull there's there's no collar pull emoji. Point is that if predators minorities, the movie basically says they used to be dangerous in the past,

[21:53] but they're not now. which is Zootopia 2 actually takes the same idea but does it correctly at least for the Zootopia universe. I myself made a joke But Gary says >> snakes never hurt anyone.

[22:07] disenfranchise reptiles was a complete and total lie that I can get on board always going to eek out a little more for themselves even when the cost is over and over. And while this movie doesn't come out and say abolish

[22:21] billionaires, it focuses on the very real tragedies and losses of the people, animals affected. And that's the first step even for adults. Being able to see are, the victims of a system that favors the powerful. The Lynxley family is bad

[22:34] be because they aren't what mattered. Changing the conversation and perception Hops with your whole heart, cuz she went from this. I just want to say [music] you're a great dad and just a a real articulate fella

[22:49] Snake's intentions. She treats him like an equal she can reason with >> You don't have to hurt him. >> I'm here for this all day. The truth is this sweet spot where it's a fun action-packed movie for the kids and

[23:03] highbrow humor to keep the adults engaged. Like South Park. I know I strong adult, I love talking about it. which is why Lindsay Ellis's new video amazing dissection of South Park and especially Matt and Trey, where they

[23:17] politically, comedically, socially, everything. It's almost an hour long. longer, and uncut and Team America: World Police. And she poses the or not? I won't spoil it, but you might be surprised by the conclusion.
