One reason the scene works so well on repeated viewings is that it's essentially a sketch. Yet there we were, a theater full of people, reduced to tears of laughter by animated sloths whom we had all already seen do their schtick probably a half-a-dozen times. One would think that, since we all knew the jokes already and humor is all about surprise, that we would no longer find it amusing. But in spite of that, I still found myself laughing - along with the rest of the theater - when I saw the actual scene in the movie. The scene in the movie appears almost exactly as the clip that was released online weeks ago, and I've seen it a number of times. It's not that it's so surprising - as any theatergoer knows, the sloth scene has been overplayed in the film's trailers. But what is it about that segment that is so, so good? This might be the funniest movie Disney has ever produced, and the funniest part of Zootopia is the sloth scene. But what makes it so great? Is it the thrilling, noir plot? The important message of tolerance? The adorably huggable characters? Yes, all of these factors undoubtedly contribute to the film's stellar reception, but for me, it's the movie's humor that truly sets it apart.
