I think this movie is an absolute masterpiece, and it is literally the best American animated feature of all time. Superlatives aside, parents should be wary of taking young children to this film. The very first scene is gripping and tense, and then it is diffused by sharp social satire. That's the course of the entire film, really. The story of the rabbit cop Judy Hopps and her accomplice con-artist fox Nick Wilde alternates between grim and menacing and snarky and biting. A lot of the dialogue will go right over the heads of toddlers. Could your five-year old tell you what "Rarely have I met someone so non-patronizing" means? By all means, take your mature children to this film, and be dazzled by the art direction and amused at the comedy. But leave the younger ones at home. You don't want them to upset the show when they start crying at some of the more violent scenes.
