This book, in concept, is really great. It's basically the movie, as told with speech bubbles and screenshots. It really should be the next best thing to the actual DVD/Blu-Ray. However, it sadly fails on several levels.First, look at the screenshots on the cover. Now, imagine if someone took a picture of those screenshots using a early 2000's camera phone. Yeah, it's not pretty. The colors are muted, the pictures are grainy, some of them were double printed (leading to an even more blurry/grainy look) and some of the darker scenes are printed so dark you can barely see what's going on. Which is, unfortunately, most of the suspenseful or action-filled scenes. On top of that, several scenes themselves are completely removed or barely glanced over in the book (most noticeably the aftermath of the press conference scene, Nick's Backstory and the apology scene) and some scenes are given way too much time in the book then necessary (such as the entrance to Zootopia and the scene in the lab). I did also notice a few scenes/lines that weren't in the movie at all and a few screenshots that were repeated for apparently no reason (SIX times they used the same screenshot of Bogo on three consecutive pages, sometimes twice on the same page). There was also five pages in the back devoted to another Disney Cinestory, which I feel would have been fine if it didn't feel like scenes were cut from the book just to incorporate their ad.If you're a big fan of Zootopia, this is a neat book to have, only if to reminisce about the movie while you don't have it. The story, albeit not fully, is there. Most of the memorable lines are there. And it's the biggest Zootopia book that has been put out so far. However, if you don't know anything about the movie, this isn't the place to start.
