That's a lot of drama over a disney kids movie subreddit. How does it even have so many subs?

It's not a "kids movie" per se, it's got plenty of humour adults can appreciate, amongst other things. And as such, there's plenty of people who like it.

Come to r/zootopia, and we'll tell you all about it :)

In a nutshell, Disney's policy recently (if not of all times) was to make family movies, movies that everyone can enjoy regardless of age. In this case, Zootopia is much more adult than most blockbusters, it just stays sanitized enough to still be PG rated.

The universe created is not only rich but it has well-defined rules that structure it while creating a LOT of possibilities. The movie explores some of them but doesn't even scratch the surface, it's an endless playground for fanfiction writers and a new lens through which you can read other fictional universes as well as our own world. This movie will turn you a furry.

The approach to anthropomorphism is fairly innovative as well, which makes it interesting for those who were already furries before the movie.

And finally, it's just an incredibly good piece of entertainment. The plot is solid, the message is on point, the visuals are a great leap forward for the animation industry and an inspiration for those amateur animators, the comedy is amazing, but more importantly, the characters are the best that I remember seeing in a Disney movie. They are organic, rich, elaborate, subtle, and incredibly modern - modern, god dammit! Not modern in a cheap cash-in way, but modern in their attitudes, their personalities, their thoughts. They are contemporary characters of the best kind, the kind that ages wonderfully as decades pass.

All of this, and probably some other elements that I can't think of right now, are behind the incredible amounts of fan-generated content that the fandom thrives on at the moment. We've got material to write fanfic for the decades to come, and there's still some things left to find out about the movie. Zootopia has the sub it deserves :)

No pun in title 0/10 would NOT recommend.

What was the pun that should've been?

Hey pal that's your job.

But maybe something like "Hare-y situation in r/zootopia involving fury over gifs".
