Zootopia
Zootopia (titled Zootropolis or Zoomania in various regions) is a 2016 American animated buddy cop action comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, co-directed by Jared Bush (in his feature directorial debut), and produced by Clark Spencer, from a screenplay written by Bush and Phil Johnston, and a story by Howard, Moore, Bush, Johnston, Jim Reardon, Josie Trinidad, and Jennifer Lee. The film stars the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, Jenny Slate, Nate Torrence, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, Tommy Chong, J. K. Simmons, Octavia Spencer, Alan Tudyk, and Shakira. Taking place in the titular city where anthropomorphic mammals coexist, it tells a story of an unlikely partnership between a rabbit police officer and a fox con artist as they uncover a criminal conspiracy involving the disappearance of some of its predatory citizens. Zootopia premiered at the Brussels Animation Film Festival in Belgium on February 13, 2016, and went into general theatrical release in Disney Digital 3-D, RealD 3D, IMAX 3D, and 4DX formats in the United States on March 4. Zootopia received positive reviews from critics, who praised its screenplay, animation, voice acting, subject matter, and Michael Giacchino's musical score. The film opened to record-breaking box offices in several countries, and earned a worldwide gross of over $1 billion, making it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2016. Among other accolades, the film was named one of the top ten best films of 2016 by the American Film Institute and won Best Animated Feature at the 89th Academy Awards. A television spin-off series, Zootopia+, premiered on Disney+ on November 9, 2022, while a sequel, Zootopia 2, is scheduled for release on November 26, 2025.
There! Traffic cams for the whole city. This is so exciting, actually! I never get to do anything this important. But you're the Assistant Mayor of Zootopia. I'm more of a glorified secretary. I think Mayor Lionheart just wanted the sheep vote. But he did give me that nice mug. Feels good to be appreciated. Smell-wether! That's a fun little name he likes to use. I called him Lion-fart once. He did not care for that. Let me tell you, it was not a good day for me. Yes, sir? I thought you were going to cancel my afternoon! Oh, dear. I better go. Let me know what you find. It was really nice for me to be... While we're young, Smell-wether!
Zootopia
Who are these guys? Timberwolves. Look at these dumb-dumbs. Bet you a nickel one of them is gonna howl. And there it is. What is it with wolves and the howling? It's like... Howlers. Night Howlers. That's what Manchas was afraid of! Wolves! The wolves are the Night Howlers. If they took Manchas... I'll bet they took Otterton, too. All we gotta do is find out where they went.
Zootopia
Wait, where did they go? If I wanted to avoid surveillance because I was doing something illegal... which I never have... I would use the maintenance tunnel 6B. Which would put them out... right there. Well, look at you, Junior Detective. You know, I think you'd actually make a pretty good cop. How dare you.
Zootopia
It's him. We found our otter. Mr. Otterton. My name is Officer Judy Hopps. Your wife sent me to find you. We're gonna get you out of here now. Or not. Guess he's in no rush to get home to the missus. 11, 12, 13, 14... Not including Manchas, it's 14. Chief Bogo handed out 14 missing mammal files. They're all here. All the missing mammals are right here.
Zootopia
Enough! I don't want excuses, Doctor! I want answers. Mayor Lionheart, please. We're doing everything we can. Really? Because I got a dozen and a half animals here who have gone off-the-rails crazy... and you can't tell me why. Now, I'd call that awfully far from "doing everything." Sir... it may be time to consider their biology. What? What do you mean "biology?" The only animals going savage are predators. We cannot keep it a secret. We need to come forward. Great idea. Tell the public. And how do you think they're gonna feel about their mayor... who is a lion? I'll be ruined! Well, what does Chief Bogo say? Chief Bogo doesn't know. And we are going to keep it that way.
