I believe in you Judy!

On Saturday afternoon, my sister and I were in the living room watching a kids movie called Zootopia.


First we went on Google and searched up websites that had movies for kids. Once we found one, my sister plugged the HDMI cord from the laptop and connected to the television so that we could watch it on the big screen. Next we chose the genre that we wanted. There was a long list of different kinds movies like Actions, Adventure, Animations, and more. We picked Animations. Then I scrolled past the  movies to see if there was anything that I wanted to watch from the selection of movies that they had.


It was a hard choice but finally my sister suggested that we would watch Zootopia. So we clicked on it and waited for it to load for about 10 seconds. My sister and I watched the full movie and it was an hour and 48 minutes long. It was about a rabbit named Judy and ever since she was small she wanted to make the world a better place.

Two of my favourite parts were when Judy found the 13 missing animals and also when she, said that anyone can be anything that they wanted to be. It was like a lesson for the children. I had a great experience watching Zootopia and I felt very inspired by the movie.
