So there have been 3 Disney animated movies to make a billion or more. Zootopia, Frozen and Toy story 3. Toy story 3 was a sequel and Zootopia and Frozen where not. So I was wondering with Zootopia and Frozen not being a sequel which one would you say is better? I love both so much and it is hard to pick but I am leading towards Zootopia. I think it has a better story but I think frozen has the better music.
 
I actually like Frozen and thought that it's great for young girls due to the positive messages that it has in the movie, but Zootopia is definitely one of the all-time great animation movie. I'd place Zootopia above not just Frozen but many other Pixar and Disney Animation movies as well.
 
Zootopia never stuck out as anything special to me. While I will say it was quality and has a strong message, a lot of animated films are these days match that description so there needs to be a very unique twist to stand out from the crowd. Thus, in twenty to thirty years while I'm sure it will still be around I don't think it will be seen as one of the top stand out animated films. Compared to other Disney animal classics - it doesn't really stand out to me, in terms of animated films today - I don't see anything to really separate it from the flock of quality animated films with strong messages, in terms of cop films - it's classic to a fault in that I feel like it overly relied upon the tropes.

Frozen will. I've never been one for Disney princess films, the only one I've ever latched onto was 'Beauty and the Beast.' So it's not my go-to animated film even remotely. But with that said - it was beyond high quality, it subverts the genre in a remarkably innovative way, and has a strong powerful message for young women - it's the first ever to do what it did and said. Because of this, in the future it will join the ranks of all the classic Disney films right alongside Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc. because it matches them in quality and it's strong and daring originality. I'd actually go further and it put it alongside Snow White above the others due to how daring the film was similarly to make.

I'll admit that Zootopia shows way more creativity, originality, and fully realized and competent storytelling, but I still give Frozen the edge because it brought back that Disney magic that had been missing for over a decade.

A lot of films in that time were also great, but they never reached the cultural phenomenon status of Frozen. I could tell it was going to be something special even when I saw it for the first time. Going all out with the Broadway style and making the music a central focal point of the film helped a lot. They finally made a fully realized musical again instead of a movie with some songs as filler, and I still love the music even though one song in particular has been overplayed to death :D

Regardless, Zootopia is also fantastic and has been surprisingly successful at the box office. Disney is definitely on a roll with its animated films recently.
 
I can't stand Frozen for the most part which is a shame since Disney Animation Studios have been knocking it out the park recently, and I love Disney Princess movies normally.

Zootopia came out of nowhere for me and pleasantly surprised me. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

Zootopia was pretty heavy-handed
and while it ticked off a growing animated Disney/Pixar movie formula (figured the non-Disney princess ones would stay out of it),
it was simply the better-made film with better written characters + overall script with a lot of world building to analyze, critique, and/or revel in.

Not yet a movie I'd watch again as much as Wreck-It-Ralph or Tangled in this "Neo-Renaissance", but it's quite good.

Lion king is my favorite Disney animated movie off all time and I think frozen and zootopia may be number 2 and 3.

Its funny you say that because I remember when frozen came out I saw it and loved it but after about a month or so its over all box office numbers didn't really look that amazing and I was thinking man this movie is underchiving for as good has it is lol. Then like 2 months or so latter I looked and was like what it is still playing around me lol. Normally where I live movies are in theaters for about a month and a half and then are not shown any more. Frozen on the other hand was in theaters around me for like 5 months. I have never seen other movie like that out side of maybe Avatar. Frozen is like the Avatar of animated movies it that it didn't have a amazing OW or any thing but just had crazy legs and hardly dropped week to week to the point where after a month or so it looked like the movie was not going to make even close to what it made. I thought after like a month looking at it that the movie was only going to make like half of what it would end up making. So to me I thought it was a big surprise that the movie would go on to make even close to what it did.
 
I thought Frozen was a painfully average film. Zootopia was brilliant in every sense of the word.
 
Yeah, Zootopia is pretty close to Pixar-level. Frozen is pleasant and very re-watchable.
 
Finally watched Zootopia and I'll definitely pick that one over Frozen. Not a huge fan of the musical-style of Frozen (and many other of Disney's animated movies). The whole "Let it Go"-sequence for example just felt like the movie was abruptly interrupted by a music video.
 
Gotta go with Zootopia. Simply because I didn't expect much from it, but it pleasantly surprised me. Frozen was good, but didn't exceed any expectations I had for it.
 
Zootopia is 100x the film Frozen is. I loved the message they talked about, it felt a lot more unique than Frozen, which basically had the same lesson Brave did.
