Honestly, while I don’t have anything against anthropomorphic fiction as a genre, there’s always part of me that thinks it would have been so much better if they’d kept the uplift/sophoncy but ditched the _bodily_ anthropomorphism. Other morphologies can work just as well, people!

(_My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic_ would **not** have been improved by deciding that unicorns were basically humans with hooves on their lower limbs, a tail, and a horn.)

Wasn’t what I had in mind at the time (I was actually seeing some _really well done_ anthro pictures over on Fedi), but to be fair to it, I credit Zootopia with at least avoiding two of the Worst Subtropes, those being “everyone is now happy eating a Generic Diet and there are No Concerns About That” and also “everyone is now Standard Hominid Size, because Reasons”.
