This isn't just cute set dressing. It is a hyper-detailed, gross-out version of Zootopia mixed with RoboCop . The film commits to the bit so hard that you actually start to believe that a zit is just a "garbage strike" and that a fever is the body’s version of turning up the central heating to kill intruders. Let’s talk about Thrax. Voiced by the legendary Laurence Fishburne, Thrax isn't just a germ. He is a serial killer. He is Hannibal Lecter if Hannibal Lecter was a microscopic virus with a fedora and a red convertible.

The film presents "The City of Frank" (named after Bill Murray’s zoo worker, Frank Detorre) as a sprawling metropolis. The brain is the Mayor’s office (run by a lazy, scheming politician). The mouth is the "Club Palate." The sweat glands are the sewer system. And the liver? That’s the shady part of town where thugs hang out. osmosis.jones
