Zootopia

"Love" how we got more info about Moana than Zootopia. I get Moana is the big one, but Disney should not go crying if the movie flops when they had no PR about Zootopia

Reminds me of the whole 1993 "WE'RE MAKING POCAHONTAS...oh yeah and there's this other movie called The Lion King being worked on too, but WE'RE MAKING POCAHONTAS!!!!"

I will be amused if history repeats itself and Zootopia ends up the more popular of the two (Though I highly doubt anything even close to Lion King size success)

Haha.

"We're repeating ourselves with our formula that we've priorly invented! But this time by blatantly changing history to it's no longer recognizable and being politically correct! And trying too hard to be serious with having little wisecraks, a boring villain and a talking three! And not giving the lovebirds their happily ever after! Come and see it! Yaaay!"

Would've love to see Honest trailers doing a trailer about "Pocahontas".

I just want to be sure, but is this going to be a musical or not? Also, I hope this and/or Moana become Lion King/Froze-esque phenomenons, perhaps even bigger phenomenons.

Seriously, Frozen isn't the only damn Disney film. Think about the others.

Zootopia should do just fine at the box office. With Kung-Fu Panda 3 moved up to a late January 2016 release, Zootopia will have all of March/April to make $$, with the next CGI film Angry Birds not opening til Memorial Day 2016. And I don't see Paramount's Monster Trucks opening in mid March effecting Zootopia.

There's no way that Moana and Maui will become a couple. She's 14...or apparently 16 now according to the new info and he's obviously a man since they have cast a full-grown adult as Maui. If there is an underage relationship, people would go crazy. But, I wonder if they made her 16, so MoanaxMaui could happen since 16 is the average age group for the princesses. My mom is turned off from the film just because she thinks they become a thing at the end

With Pocahontas turning 20, I'm sure they will!

Some additional info from Disney's presentation at Cannes.

From the venerable Walt Disney Animation Studios which made "Frozen" is this smart-alecky original feature about a city populated by animals that interact, dress, drive and talk just like people do. They live in a species-diverse metropolis, Zootopia, where newsstands sell copies of the Wall Street Gerbil and Vanity Fur. Judy Hopps, a bunny police officer, is forced to team up with a hustling fox, Nick Wilde, to track down a missing mammal within 48 hours, but their investigation uncovers a much bigger plot that challenges prejudices.

The excerpt from this animation, scheduled to start its rollout in February next year, garnered the biggest laughs from the audience when it showed a scene in a vehicle registration office where long lines of animals had to deal with counters staffed by... sloths.

Next up for Disney Animation is Zootopia, directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore. Zootopia presents a world filled with thousands of animals but no humans. They live in environments such as Tundra Town (every day at 3pm is a blizzard), Sahara Square, The Burrows and Little Rodentia. “Zootopia seems like a utopia but it isn’t perfect,” Lasseter said. “The theme is about bias: the animals are quick to put each other in a box, to stereotype.”

Disney prospect Zootopia, co-directed by Byron Howard (Bolt, Tangled), Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph) and Jared Bush, seems more lively. The trailer, voiced by Jason Bateman, introduces us to an Earth where humans never happened (“so the world is modern and civilised”) and animals are anthropomorphic (“a big, fancy word meaning they stand up straight”).

Animals wear clothes and follow human routines. They flick through the Wall Street Gerbil or Entertainment Squeekly while they take their wildly different sizes of subway car to work. Natural enemies live side by side, and ingrained prejudice is rife. Judy (Ginnifer Goodwin) is the first bunny to join the Zootopolis police force. The old hands – buffaloes, elephants and rhinos – think she’s too fluffy for the job, so she gets consigned to traffic duty. Judy’s determined to break down the stereotypes about what a species should be, so when a twist of fate gifts her a missing persons case, she sets out, with a wily fox called Nick (Bateman), to prove the doubters wrong.

The clips Lasseter showed suggested Zootopia’s script’s a zinger, full of allusions to grownup left-field cop dramas (LA Confidential, Inherent Vice) and packed with sight gags – the population counter on the sign welcoming visitors to The Burrows, the suburb where the rabbits live, is automated and ticks steadily upward. Another scene, still unfinished, showed Judy and Nick entering a club where animals have rejected clothes and decided to return to a “natural” way of life. “This is Disney animation’s first nude scene,” said Lasseter as Judy prudishly picked her way through the cavorting pigs, giraffes and bison. “It’s been a long time coming.”

We had four extensive clips from the film, including Judy first meeting the Bateman’s Nick, Judy at home after a bad day of working tell herself to “suck it up”, a meeting with a mob-boss, and a scene where they get help from a DMV worker about a licence plate. I won’t go into detail about the latter, but it was absolutely hilarious. The room was alive and shaking with laughter, and I can’t wait to see it again in the final film. The DMV is a good target for comedy, and Disney have done wonders with its inherent obstacles.

As enjoyable as the film looked, it was only the DMV clip, and characters looking like the Bedknobs and Broomsticks island animals, it didn’t feel typically Disney. Many artwork images and basic rendering of scenes (many with raw storyboards) had hand-drawn animation in use. One subway shot, with a moving set of characters, had the look of 101 Dalmatians in terms of sketchy animation. It looked and felt instantly Disney-esque, but the real shame is knowing it’s been passed on as an idea in favour of a cheaper/easier CGI job. When Lasseter began the Walt Disney Animation Studios talk, especially mentioning the Robin Hood, I was hopeful what we’d see was a return to classical craft.

This movie is going to be deep.

Honestly, making prejudice one of the themes makes me more interested, even if I'm still guessing I won't care much about this film. It might actually be more effective to explore bias in an "animal" movie.

Even in 3D, I'm sure they could be more stylistic than John Lasseter will allow. Basic sells.

The first trailer for Zootopia is coming already with Inside Out!

Oh my. Brace yourselves.

[PatrickvD]

So... The Good Dinosaur anyone?

It's still out this fall, right?

[unprincess]

I wonder how food works in this universe. What exactly do the carnivores eat?

I know, right? Pixar usually releases a teaser a year before the premiere.

[disneyprincess11]

They announced that the teaser to Good Dinosaur is coming as well

First looks at the movie and Nick & Judy

Really really disappointed with this. I loved what they looked like in the concept art, but the render looks terrible.

I have to agree. I wasn't expecting the final design to look anything like the concept art, but this doesn't look anything like what I was expecting. It just feels a little unnatural

[disneyprincess11]

So glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Judy looks perfect while Nick looks odd. I can't put my finger on it. But, something about him is very off.

BTW: According to StitchKingdom, the teaser might be coming tomorrow

Chicken little approves!
