After missing out on Zootopia 2 during its massive box office run late last year, I wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice when the 2025 animated film hit VOD. About a week ago, my family and I sat down to watch what I heard was a great kids movie with some top-notch references, and I wasn’t let down one bit. However, there was something that caught me by surprise…
Near the end, there was a great callback to one of the best horror movies of all time, The Shining. Before I could point out the reference, my 9-year-old daughter beat me to it. Wait a minute… how does my daughter know enough about this Stephen King adaptation to point out a reference in a kids movie? What’s going on here? Should I be concerned?
