Zootopia (known as Zootropolis in Europe)[5][6] is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated comedy adventure film[7] produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 55th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series.

Zootopia was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, co-directed by Jared Bush, and features the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, J.K. Simmons, Tommy Chong, Octavia Spencer, Jenny Slate, and Shakira. It was released in the Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D formats on March 4, 2016.[8][9] The film details the unlikely partnership between a rabbit police officer and a red fox con artist as they uncover a conspiracy that involves missing predator civilians.

Zootopia received acclaim from critics, who praised the film's CGI animation, voice acting, and script and found its themes of prejudice and stereotypes timely.[10][11] The film opened to record-breaking box office success in several countries.[12][13]

Plot

In a world populated by anthropomorphic mammals, Judy Hopps, a rabbit from rural Bunnyburrow, fulfills her dream of becoming the first rabbit officer in the police department of nearby city Zootopia. After graduating valedictorian upon being presented as the new Zootopia Police Department member by Mayor Leodore Lionheart, she is assigned parking duty by Chief Bogo who doubts her potential due to her diminutive size. During one of her shifts, she meets Nick Wilde, a con artist fox, and his partner Finnick.

Hopps abandons her shift to arrest a thief named Duke Weaselton. She is reprimanded by Bogo and nearly fired until Mrs. Otterton arrives pleading for help locating her missing husband – one of many animals recently missing in Zootopia. To Bogo’s dismay, Hopps volunteers and agrees to resign if she cannot solve the case within 48 hours. She sees Wilde in the last known photo of Otterton and tracks him down, coercing him into to assisting her with the investigation.

After acquiring Mr. Otterton’s license plate number, Hopps and Wilde track the vehicle to Mr. Big, an Arctic shrew crime boss. Initially, he orders them "iced," but after his daughter spares them, Mr. Big informs the pair that his florist Mr. Otterton had gone savage and attacked his chauffeur Manchas. Hopps and Wilde locate Manchas, who mentions “night howlers” were responsible for attacking him before he goes savage and chases the pair out of his home. When Bogo and his reinforcements arrive, Manchas disappears. Bogo demands Hopps resign, but Wilde takes a stand, insisting they have 10 more hours to solve the case. As the pair leaves, Hopps learns from Wilde that he was bullied by prey animals as a pup and became a criminal, believing he would be stereotyped as one no matter what due to being a fox.

Wilde realizes that the city’s traffic camera system may have captured Manchas’s disappearance, and the pair consults Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellwether. They identify the captors as wolves, hence “night howlers”. Hopps and Wilde locate the missing mammals (including Mr. Otterton) at Cliffside Asylum. All are predators, and all have gone savage like Manchas. The two discover Mayor Lionheart consulting with Dr. Madge Honey Badger about the predators' condition. The pair escape with the evidence and the police swarm the area, arresting Lionheart.

Having developed a friendship with Wilde throughout the case, Hopps requests that he joins the Zootopia Police Department and become her partner, which Wilde happily considers. However, during a press conference, Hopps mentions that the savage animals are predators and argues they have gone back to their “natural state.” Wilde is hurt and angrily walks out on her offer. Fear and discrimination against predators spreads across Zootopia and a guilt-ridden Hopps resigns. During this time, pop singer Gazelle holds a peaceful protest and publicly asks for the harmonious Zootopia she loves to be restored.

Back in Bunnyburrow, Hopps learns from her former bully Gideon Grey that “night howlers” are flowers that have a severe psychotropic effect on mammals. Hopps returns to Zootopia and reconciles with Wilde after being told where he is by Finnick. They locate Weaselton and catch him. With help from Mr. Big, Judy learns that Weaselton has been collecting night howlers for a secret laboratory. The pair discover the lab and find sheep scientists creating a night howler serum which has been injected into predators via dart guns. Hopps and Wilde race to the ZPD with the evidence, but the sheep scientists pursue them.

Just short of the ZPD, the pair encounters Bellwether who tries to take the evidence. Realizing Bellwether is the mastermind of a species-supremacist conspiracy, Hopps and Wilde try to flee, but Bellwether shoots a dart at Wilde and calls the ZPD for help. Wilde becomes savage and corners Hopps, but it turns out the pair were acting and had swapped out Bellwether’s darts for blueberries. With Bellwether’s confession recorded on Hopps’s carrot pen, the two have enough evidence to unravel the conspiracy. Bellwether is then arrested for her crimes alongside her accomplices. When informed and interviewed on the matter, Lionheart explains that he had no knowledge of Bellwether's plot, but fully confesses his crime of illegally imprisoning the savaged predators during his confidential mission by stating that it was done for the "right reasons."

Some months later, Hopps is reinstated into the ZPD. The savaged mammals are cured. Inspired by his friend's faith in him, Wilde joins the ZPD as the first fox police officer and Judy’s new partner. During the credits, all of Zootopia enjoys a performance by Gazelle while Bellwether angrily watches the live streaming from prison.

Cast

Production

Byron Howard
Rich Moore
Directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore presented footage from the film at the 2015 Annecy International Animated Film Festival[26]

The project was first announced in August 2013 at that year's D23 Expo.[27] The film is scripted by Jared Bush, is scheduled for a March 2016 release.[27][28] Prior to the official announcement, in May 2013, information about Jason Bateman's casting was leaked to the press although little else about the film was known at the time[15] The idea originated with Howard wanting to do a film similar to Disney's 1970s adaptation of Robin Hood which also featured animals in anthropomorphic roles.[27] With this in mind, the city was envisioned as if animals designed it rather than humans.[27] According to Howard, Zootopia will be different from other animal anthropomorphic films, where animals either live in the natural world or in the human world. The concept, where animals live in a modern world designed by animals, was well received by chief creative officer John Lasseter, who lifted Howard "in the air like a baby Simba" when he proposed the idea for the film.[29] Research for the film took place in Disney's Animal Kingdom, as well as in Kenya, where animators studied various animals walk cycles as well as fur color.[30]

In March 2015, it was revealed that Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph) had been added as a director of the film, in addition to Jared Bush (Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero) as co-director,[31] and that the film's plot had been revised. As announced in 2013, the original plot would have featured a fast-talking fox named Nick Wilde, who goes on the run after being framed for a crime he didn't commit. Zootopia's top cop named Lieutenant Judy Hopps, is hot on his tail, but when both become targets of a conspiracy, they're forced to team up and discover even natural enemies can become best friends.[27][29]

On May 6, 2015, Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin had been respectively cast as Nick Wilde and Lieutenant Judy Hopps in the film.[14] The filmmakers chose Bateman because they wanted an actor who could bring "a funny yet heartfelt side" with "a wily, dry-witted sort of voice". Bateman described his character as "a crafty, sarcastic schemer", remarking similarity to many of his roles he was doing since he was 12.[32] "I foolishly said, 'What kind of voice do you guys want me to do?' And they just looked at me like I was an idiot and said, 'Just do what you do. Just talk'".[32]

Eventually, the producers realized that the film's plot would be better served by focusing on Judy Hopps as a naive but heroic newcomer to the city and how her egalitarian ideals are challenged by Zootopia's prejudices as opposed to Nick Wilde cynically enduring them as an embittered native and the screenplay was changed to make her the lead character.[33] Commenting on the casting of Goodwin, Moore said that she brought "very centered sweetness, tremendous heart and a great sense of humor", describing Judy as "a little Pollyanna mixed with Furiosa". On her character, Goodwin stated "People mistake kindness for naivete or stupidity, and she is a good girl through and through. But she's not a dumb bunny".[32] In July 2015, Alan Tudyk has announced that he would join the cast;[34] his character's name was revealed to be Duke Weaselton.[16]

Music

The film's score is composed by Michael Giacchino.[2] It marks his first feature-length project for Walt Disney Animation Studios,[2] as he previously scored the Goofy short How to Hook Up Your Home Theater, the two Prep & Landing specials and short film, and the short film The Ballad of Nessie. In addition to her voice role of Gazelle, pop star Shakira also contributed an original song to the film titled "Try Everything", which was written by Sia and Stargate.[17][35] The film's score was recorded with an 80-piece orchestra in November 2015, with Tim Simonec conducting.[36]

Critical response

Zootopia received critical acclaim.[62][63] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 99%, based on 147 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The consensus statement reads, "The brilliantly well-rounded Zootopia offers a thoughtful, inclusive message that's as rich and timely as its sumptuously state-of-the-art animation – all while remaining fast and funny enough to keep younger viewers entertained."[64] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 78 out of 100, based on 39 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[65] On CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[66]

Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times considered the movie "funny, smart, [and] thought-provoking."[67] Rolling Stone's Peter Travers wrote that Zootopia "may be the most subversive movie of" 2016, praising its timely message about the harm of prejudice in the face of the prevailing xenophobic political rhetoric at the time of the film's release and the film's humor.[11] Mark Hughes, writing for Forbes, found it the best Disney feature since Beauty and the Beast, extolling its "wonderfully imaginative and joyfully expressive animation, consistently smart humor, instantly lovable and interesting characters, and remarkable commentary on race and culture."[62] Peter Debruge at Variety opined that Zootopia "plays directly to the studio's strengths."[68] IGN reviewer Eric Goldman gave the film a 9.0 out of 10 'Amazing' score, saying "Zootopia is a wonderful example of how Disney, at its best, can mix its past and present together in a very cool, compelling way. It takes the classic animation trope of animals walking, talking and acting like humans, but gives it a modern spin both in terms of its humor and animation style...and also in its themes, which are meaningful and fascinatingly topical."[69]
