If there is one word to describe Disney’s latest film, Zootopia, it is “topical”, and unlike the mainstay of Disney films it “isn’t some cartoon musical where they sing their little songs and their insipid dreams magically come true”.

As I said earlier, I recently made the dubious decision to spend all of April watching and reviewing terrible fantasy movies from the 1980s.
