The Nut Job

I love this movie. Like Zootopia, it's a metaphor about the politics of fear. Our leaders keep us dependent on them and control us with fear of shortages and different cultures. Divide and conquer. Grayson isn't an unnecessary character. He's the false hero that consultants manufacture while destroying the true heroes who only want freedom. It's scary to me how obtuse some of these reviews are. Hollywood is in a new Blacklist era where conservative movies can't be made. They slip in a cartoon now and then, I see. As a crabby old man, who remembers when this was a free country with freedom of speech I like a character named Surly.

just loved it..full entertainment movie.. In fictional Oakton City,[1] purple squirrel Surly and his rat partner, the mute Buddy, reside in Liberty Park where their thieving reputation has made them outcasts. A group of urban animals led by Raccoon and his cardinal assistant, are running low on food for winter. Red squirrel Andie and gray squirrel Grayson, a self-styled hero, compete with Surly and Buddy to scavenge from a peanut cart manned by criminals Lucky and Fingers, who are casing a bank. The squirrels' efforts inadvertently end with the cart's propane bank exploding in the park and destroying the tree where the animals store their food. Surly is banished, and Buddy goes with him.
