The artists at Disney Animation give a rare and in-depth look at the complexities of bringing an all-animal world to life from the ground-breaking technology behind the characters’ fur and clothing to the varied and vast environments of Tundratown, Sahara Square and the Rainforest District as well as the deep thought and research given to bringing 64 unique animal species to life through animation.

• The Origin Of An Animal (9:10) – Follow the story’s development from its origins to a big story shift that turned the film upside down. In this feature-length documentary, filmmakers give a candid look into the difficulties of creating the story of Zootopia and the bold decision to switch the main character late in the production process, putting one resolute rabbit center stage.

• Research: A True-Life Adventure (9:55) – The filmmakers traveled the globe to find inspiration for the diverse characters and amazing city of Zootopia. They reflect on the importance of research and how a deep dive into animal behavior at Disney Animal Kingdom theme park and a deep immersion into animal society on the African savanna shaped and inspired the characters of Zootopia and changed the filmmakers’ lives forever.

• Z.P.D. Forensic Files (3:20) – Find the movie’s hidden Easter Eggs. Every city has its hidden gems, especially when it has been created by the filmmakers of Disney Animation who love nothing more than sprinkling hidden references to some of Disney’s greatest animated features throughout the story.

- Alternate Jumbo Pop – In this early version of the story where Nick was the main character, the filmmakers and Jason Bateman were able to take hustling to a new level.

The documentary isn’t feature-lenth though they describe it that way, but it seems there’s certainly an improvement over other recent WDAS releases in terms of bonus features.

[Mickeyfan1990]

I just hope we also get theatrical trailers (at the very least, the teaser trailer).

[Musical Master]

Just saw it last weekend and honestly everyone that has sung it's praises is the same as mine. Well done characters, world, and themes that are handled very well; I'm sure that this movie and the upcoming Moana are going to be the top competitors for the Best Animated Film Oscar.

[DisneyEra]

And word is it's starting to "break-out" in Japan ZOO's march to a Billion!

[HarryCanyon]

Great movie, a nice funny and witty social satire with ideas and laughs.

Who else thought Judy was sickengly cute?

[Gabrielkat]

Very happy to see that Zootopia will be getting a domestic 3D Blu-ray release.

Now how about releasing domestic 3D Blu-rays of Frozen and Big Hero 6 as well, Disney?

[Avaitor]

Target's getting an extra disc with more bonus features.

It doesn't look like they're getting a whole lot more, but this still seems like the best option so far.

It doesn't look like they're getting a whole lot more, but this still seems like the best option so far.

It's actually not a bonus disc, but 15 minutes worth of extras which will be accessible on DMA via the Target Exclusive digital code, similar to other recent Target Exclusive releases. The cover art looks nice on this one!!

So, I really enjoyed Zootopia myself 9 out of 10.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I looked at the numbers for Zootopia and come to the conclusion that it would finish in the US at about $340 million, based on Inside Out's numbers. For most weeks Zootopia has been making more than Inside Out, so it is possible it could make more than $340 million. With some big films coming and the release date for home media being so very close, it's hard to predict whether it will drop quickly or not.

Currently, as of today, the US Box Office is at $324 million for Zootopia, so $16 million to go for my estimate. Worldwide it's at $933 million ($609m Foreign/international). Excluding Japan, there's probably another $10 to $20 million at least internationally.

So:
16 + 15 = 31
933 + 31 = 964

So, based on my estimates (or guestimates if you prefer), Japan would only have to make $36 million give or take.

Japan made just under $4 million on its opening weekend in regards to Zootopia, which is more than Inside Out ($3.27m - $32.5m Total) and less than Big Hero 6 ($5m - $76m Total), with these numbers I concluded that Zootopia would probably make at least $50 million (less if you were to calculate it properly). So if these numbers do work $1+ billion is very possible. in Japan Zootopia has made $13.5 Million as of 1 May and has remained at number 2 behind Conan the Detective: The Darkest Nightmare and in front of Captain America 3.

Box Office numbers are taken from Box Office Mojo http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/def ... ey2016.htm Big Hero 6 total Japanese number may be incomplete due to change of editor at Box Office Mojo, much of the Box Office data was not collected in this period.

Last night I decided to look at the IMDb message board to see if anyone had commented on the covers for the home release and found a thread that discussed the Japanese market and numbers. Based on what I read, Zootopia has been selling out in most theatres due to having fewer screens and smaller theatres, which is apparently what has happened with other Disney Animations (eg: Frozen and Big Hero 6). The exhibitors have been underestimating what these Disney films are capable of and what type of legs they have. Apparently Japan's largest exhibitor has now increased its number of screens and on Tuesday it hit number 1 in the Box Office and was its largest haul for a single day. And people are apparently talking about it, young and old. So, with this in mind, I reckon Zootopia can do more than $100 million at the Japanese Box Office. This is the thread I'm talking about: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2948356/boa ... /256427157 It's a good read.

So, I'll put my Box Office guess at $1.07 Billion worldwide. Part of me would like to be optimistic and make that $1.1 billion, but that extra 30 million is a tough call.

The other big question is: Will Zootopia be the first to $1 billion in 2016? Along with whether the Jungle Book will make it past $1 billion and possibly beat Zootopia to it. Captain America 3 may make it there before Zootopia, if it can make a billion dollars in the next month (so to speak, including its current haul).

[D82]

Interesting analysis, Hogi Bear. I hope Zootopia reaches the billion dollars internationally as you have predicted.

[disneyboy20022]

So, is anyone going to address the elephant in the room? Given we are getting what is close to 30 MINUTES OF DELETED SCENES?!!

Uh, that's the longest running time I can think of in a long time for a Disney Animated Movie to have for deleted scenes isn't it?

[Hogi Bear]

Interesting analysis, Hogi Bear. I hope Zootopia reaches the billion dollars internationally as you have predicted.

Well, I could be a bit generous with those numbers, but with $66 million to go, it shouldn't miss. But anything could happen, it's a wait and see game. I'm still crossing my fingers though.

So, is anyone going to address the elephant in the room? Given we are getting what is close to 30 MINUTES OF DELETED SCENES?!!

Uh, that's the longest running time I can think of in a long time for a Disney Animated Movie to have for deleted scenes isn't it?

That is long. I wonder if it has a lot of unfinished animation and sketches or fully animated scenes.

I'm also wondering what type of cover art we are getting in New Zealand and Australia. The US one that they've shown has too many characters bunched together for my liking. The British one is nicer, but I think they could still improve. I seen one cover for Frozen from I think a European country and it looked really nice, could have been fan made. It was Anna walking up the mountain.

It isn’t fan made. That image is from one of the international posters of the film, I think it was from France. Yes, it’s a beautiful image. I’ve seen that cover in stores here in Spain. It’s from a special edition that includes a book with sketches and info about the making of the film. Or at least that’s what it says on the case, I don’t own it myself. It’s only on DVD and it has the same disc as the regular DVD edition. I don’t know if a similar edition has been put on sale on other countries or not. Here’s the cover I’m talking about, maybe it's the one you saw:

About the Zootopia covers, I agree with you, they could've been better. But I didn't expect much from them, so I'm not disappointed.

Yes, I was also impressed with that. Maybe the running time includes introductions to those scenes, but it’s still a lot of time.

[Hogi Bear]

Thanks, those frozen sets are really nice. The cover I seen originally saw was similar to this one: http://cj.lnwfile.com/817rkq.jpg

Now it would be nice if the cover art people would come to places like this and let us choose the covers. France will probably have a nice cover when Zootopia comes out on Blu-ray and DVD.

[D82]

That Frozen cover looks pretty authentic, but it could also be fan made. Anyway, it's a great cover. And yes, it would be great if they let us choose the covers, but we are not so important to Disney. Their main source of profit is parents who buy the home video releases to their children. So they probably try to make the covers attractive to the little ones. And I can understand that, but they could do an effort to come up with something that could please both types of customers. And not only about the cover art, but also about the content of those releases. However, on this occasion, the bonus content announced for Zootopia looks quite promising.

By the way, Zootopia is at $956 million woldwide now after this past weekend, so it only needs 44 million to reach the billion dollars mark. And Disney is having a great year, after the successful opening of Captain America: Civil War (the fifth largest opening weekend of all-time) the company has set new records:

With such films from the Disney stable as Zootopia, The Jungle Book and now Captain America: Civil War swinging at the global box office, The Walt Disney Studios scored a hat-trick of records this weekend. In 128 days of 2016, the Mouse crossed $1B domestic with $1.121B to date. The studio also crossed $2B international with $2.22B and zoomed past $3B global with $3.341B. Each is a new industry record, supplanting those set by Universal in 2015 which hit $2B international in 162 days; and $1B domestic and $3B global in 165.

Yeah, I totally get that. They probably get a bunch of school children and asking them which movie they would pick based on the cover. But as an idea some studios have done, they could just print an alternative cover on the rear. One can dream, but I guess at the end of the day I'm going to be watching the movie, not the cover art.

It's been an unfortunate trend, where studios add less and less extra content to the home media releases, but I'm glad we're getting more this time.

Yeah, Disney are having a good year so far and their next possible big hit is just a few weeks away. So, it will be interesting to see how Alice Through the Looking Glass performs. $44 million, we are getting close with Zootopia.

[D82]

One can dream, but I guess at the end of the day I'm going to be watching the movie, not the cover art.

Yes, that's truth. If the cover art is good, all the better, but the movie itself is what matters.

[Atlantica]

Any news if the movie is close to a billion world wide yet ? Keeping everything crossed !

[TheSequelOfDisney]

Any news if the movie is close to a billion world wide yet ? Keeping everything crossed !

It has less than $50 million to go, according to Box Office Mojo.
