Zootopia (known as Zootropolis in some territories)[7][8] is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated comedy adventure film[9] 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. The film details the unlikely partnership between a rabbit police officer and a red fox con artist as they uncover a conspiracy that involves the disappearance of predator civilians within a mammalian utopia.
Zootopia was released in conventional 2D, Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D formats on March 4, 2016.[10][11] Before that, the film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on February 17, 2016. The film received critical acclaim, with praise directed towards the animation, voice acting, and screenplay; critics highlighted the film's topical themes of prejudice and stereotypes as timely.[12][13] The film opened to record-breaking box office success in several countries.[14][15]
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. However, upon arrival, she is assigned parking duty by Chief Bogo, an African buffalo, who doubts her potential due to her diminutive size. During one of her shifts, she meets Nick Wilde, a con artist fox and his fennec fox partner Finnick.
Hopps abandons her shift to arrest a thief, Duke Weaselton. She is reprimanded by Bogo and nearly fired until Mrs. Otterton, an otter, arrives pleading for help to locate 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, blackmailing him into to assisting her with the investigation by recording his confession to tax evasion.
After acquiring Mr. Otterton’s license plate number, Hopps and Wilde track the vehicle to Mr. Big, an Arctic shrew crime boss. When both of them are nearly iced, Mr. Big's daughter Fru Fru intervenes identifying Hopps as the one who saved her. Mr. Big informs the pair that Otterton, his florist, had gone savage and attacked his chauffeur Manchas, a black jaguar. 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 Bellwether. They identify the captors as wolves, hence “night howlers”. Hopps and Wilde locate Mr. Otterton and the missing mammals at Cliffside Asylum. All are predators and 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 and Dr. Honey Badger.
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 spread 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 the "night howler" 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 and her accomplices are arrested for their crimes. 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 savage mammals are cured by an antidote. Inspired by Hopps' faith in him, Wilde joins the ZPD as the first fox police officer and Hopps' new partner. During the credits, all of Zootopia enjoy a performance by Gazelle while Bellwether angrily watches the live streaming from prison.

Production
The project was first announced in August 2013 at that year's D23 Expo.[30] The film, scripted by Jared Bush, was scheduled for a March 2016 release.[30][31] 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.[17] 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.[30] With this in mind, the city was envisioned as if animals designed it rather than humans.[30] According to Howard, Zootopia would 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 and executive producer John Lasseter, who lifted Howard "in the air like a baby Simba" when he proposed the idea for the film.[32] 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.[33] The filmmakers drew inspiration for Zootopia's urban design from major cities including New York City, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Brasília.[34] To develop a city that could actually be inhabited by talking mammals ranging in size from two inches (5 cm) to 27 feet (8.23 m) and from drastically different climates, the filmmakers consulted Americans with Disabilities Act specialists and HVAC system designers.[35]
Originally, the film was structured so that Wilde was the lead role and Hopps was essentially his sidekick.[36] In November 2014, the filmmakers realized the film's plot would be more engaging if they flipped the roles instead.[36] That is, they rewrote the screenplay to focus on depicting Judy Hopps as a naive but heroic newcomer to the city whose egalitarian ideals are challenged by Zootopia's prejudices, as opposed to Nick Wilde cynically enduring such prejudices as an embittered native.[36]
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,[37]
On May 6, 2015, Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin had been cast, respectively, in the roles of Nick Wilde and Lieutenant Judy Hopps.[16] 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 on the role's similarity to many other roles he had done since he was 12.[38] He explained that he had said to the directors: "'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'".[38]
Commenting on the casting of Goodwin, Moore said that she brought "very centered sweetness, tremendous heart and a great sense of humor"; he described Judy as "a little Pollyanna mixed with Furiosa". Goodwin stated about her character: "People mistake kindness for naivete or stupidity, and she is a good girl through and through. But she's not a dumb bunny".[38] In July 2015, Alan Tudyk announced that he would join the cast;[39] his character's name was revealed to be Duke Weaselton.[18]
Music
The film's score is composed by Michael Giacchino.[3] It marks his first feature-length project for Walt Disney Animation Studios,[3] 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.[19][40] The film's score was recorded by an 80-piece orchestra in November 2015, with Tim Simonec conducting.[41]

The United States followed on March 4, 2016.[10] The film's European title, Zootropolis, was released in Finland on March 4, 2016, and across other European countries on March 25, 2016; six weeks after the initial theatrical release in Belgium.[43]
Zootopia was released in Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D, making it the first animated Disney film since Treasure Planet to be shown in domestic IMAX theatres.[10][11]
Marketing
The first teaser trailer was released online at Walt Disney Animation Studios' YouTube page on June 11, 2015,[44] and theatrically with Pixar's Inside Out.
A second teaser trailer was released online again at Walt Disney Animation Studios' YouTube page on November 23, 2015,[45] (and theatrically with Pixar's The Good Dinosaur) featuring a sequence of the film where the main characters encounter a Department of Mammal Vehicles (based on the DMV) run entirely by sloths. The official theatrical trailer for the film was released online at Walt Disney Animation Studios' YouTube page on New Year's Eve 2015.[46] Figures of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde were released for Disney Infinity 3.0 on March 1, 2016.[47]
A digital marketing company, Allied Integrated Media, was contracted by Disney to reach out to members of the furry fandom on Meetup, encouraging them to post photos of themselves in their fursuits on social media, with the movie hashtag, as a form of viral marketing for the movie.[48][49]
Reception
Box office
As of March 18, 2016[update], Zootopia has grossed $173.4 million in North America and $326.9 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $500.3 million.[6] On March 18, it reached the $500 million mark, becoming the third Walt Disney film to reach that milestone after The Lion King (1994) and Frozen (2013).[50][51]
North America
In the United States and Canada, pre-release tracking suggested the film would open to $60–70 million from 3,827 theaters in its opening weekend.[52][53] It played in 3,100 3D theaters, 365 IMAX theaters and 325 premium large formats screens.[52] It earned $1.7 million from Thursday previews, a record for a non-Pixar Disney animated film,[54] for an animated film opening outside of summer[55] and seventh biggest all-time for an animated film.[56] Buoyed by good word of mouth, it earned $19.5 million on its opening day, also a record for a non-Pixar Disney animated film (breaking Frozen's record),[54] and the second biggest for a March animated film (behind Ice Age: The Meltdown).[57] In its opening weekend, it scored a better than expected $75.1 million which is the biggest non-Pixar Disney animated opening (breaking Big Hero 6's record), the biggest opening weekend among Walt Disney Animation Studios films (breaking Frozen's record), the biggest March animated opening (breaking Dr. Seuss' The Lorax record), the fourth biggest March opening and the ninth biggest animated opening of all time.[58][59] Furthermore, its opening weekend is also the third biggest for an original film, behind only Inside Out and Avatar.[60] It also performed exceptionally well in IMAX where the film brought in $5.2 million from 366 screens, the second best animated IMAX opening behind only Toy Story 3's $8.4 million.[59]
In its second weekend, it fell gradually by 31.6% to $51.3 million and recorded one of the best holds for an animated film which is more or less on par with Wreck-It Ralph's second weekend drop of 32.7% but a bigger drop than The Lego Movie's 27% drop.[61]
Outside North America
Internationally, Zootopia is receiving a scattered release as Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures decided to take advantage of school holidays in various markets. It began opening in a very limited number of international markets in the weekend ending February 14, earning $4.5 million from 3 markets.[62] It expanded to 22 markets in its second weekend, which is 36% of its total international markets and added $31.2 million.[63] It added another $33 million in its third weekend with no new markets added.[64] In its fourth weekend, it expanded to 45 countries and grossed $64.7 million coming in second place at the international box office, behind the Chinese film Ip Man 3.[65] $3.3 million came from IMAX showings.[65] It finally topped the box office in its fifth weekend after a strong second weekend gross in China. It added $89.3 million from 45 countries, an increase of 25% from its previous weekend.[66]
In its opening weekend – which varies between markets – it grossed $3.1 million in Spain and an additional $1.7 million in Belgium and Denmark. In Belgium, it scored the biggest ever animated opening for a Disney or Pixar movie.[62] It broke opening records for a non-Pixar Disney animated film in China ($23.6 million), France ($8.7 million) Russia ($7.9 million), Germany ($6.8 million), Poland ($1.2 million) and India.[63][65][67] Elsewhere, Mexico opened with $4.6 million and Italy opened on a non-holiday weekend to $3.3 million.[63] Morevover, it had No. 1 openings in Austria, Switzerland, Portugal and South Africa.[65] In China, it was locally known as 疯狂动物城 (Crazy Animal City)[68] and exceeded expectations;[69] the film has been termed Hollywood's first breakout hit in China since Jurassic World earned $229 million there in summer of 2015.[70][71][72] It had an opening day of $3.4 million on its way to $23.8 million for its three day opening weekend, debuting in second place behind Ip Man 3 and scoring the biggest non-sequel animated opening, as well as the second biggest three day opening for an animated film and the second biggest animated IMAX opening ($3 million from 278 screens), both of which were both behind Kung Fu Panda 3.[65][68] In its ninth day of release (a Saturday), it recorded the biggest single day gross ever for an animated film with $25 million (compared to $10.6 million on its first Saturday) and passed the lifetime total of Big Hero 6 to become the highest-grossing Disney animated film in China.[73][74] In its second weekend, it witnessed a huge jump by grossing $56.5 million, an increase of 139% from its previous weekend and crossed the $100 million mark (in its tenth day), becoming the third animated film in China to pass $100 million in ticket sales after Kung Fu Panda 3 and Monkey King: Hero Is Back.[66] However, other Chinese sources reported $60 million.[70] In mid-March the combined total of Kung Fu Panda 3 and Zootopia alone broke 2014's record of $286 million in box office grosses for American animated features in China.[71]
In terms of total earnings outside of North America, Zootopia's largest markets are China ($134.8 million), followed by France ($24.3 million) and Russia ($22.2 million).[75] It will open next in the United Kingdom and Ireland (March 25), and Japan (April 23).[76]
Critical response
Zootopia received critical acclaim.[77][78] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 99% based on 159 reviews and 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."[79] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 78 out of 100 based on 39 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[80] On CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[81]
Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times considered the movie "funny, smart, [and] thought-provoking."[82] 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.[13] 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."[77] Peter Debruge at Variety opined that Zootopia "plays directly to the studio's strengths."[83] 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."[84]
