Last month I had the opportunity to visit the Walt Disney Animation Studios in their temporary home on the Tujunga Campus in Burbank. (I know. Shut up.) A group of us bloggers were treated to an entire day of being completely immersed in the creation of the upcoming Disney Animated feature film, ‘Zootopia.’
Animals) from every different environment live together – a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything you want.
Campus.You know that Disney doesn’t do anything by halves. As their animation studios are being renovated, they set up shop in a warehouse. But, of course, they’re Disney. And even their temporary space is magical.
Zootopia Themed Land Blends Breathtaking Technological Innovation With Great Storytelling
We got to wander around their beautiful space where the animators and technicians are completely immersed right now in the world of ‘Zootopia.’ Every corner, all the decor, all the art is
No detail is too small. Take for example this ‘Zootopia’ Art Gallery, which is accessible and accomodating to all the sizes of the Citizens of Zootopia. I couldn’t help but be caught up in the charm of it all.
Imagine sitting in a room with the Disney masterminds behind how the story gets told in animated form. Yeah, that’s what we got to do.
Zootopia Sequel Gets Exciting Tease From Producer
A dozen of us got to sit down with writer and Co-Director of Zootopia, Jared Bush, Writer Phil Johnston, Story Artist Marc Smith, and Head of Editorial Fabienne Rawley as they took us on the unique journey of creating ‘Zootopia’ from script to story sketches to the editing room.
They showed us their story boards and sketches and re-created exactly how they went about pitching an entire scene to John Lasseter and the rest of the team. They did the voices themselves as we were roaring with laughter. Also, what a gift to get to experience their genius storytelling at this level, but that’s not important right now.When the scene was over, they confessed that it ended up having to be completely re-done, but that was the nature of their work.
We watched a short portion of the film and I’m genuinely excited to see what happens next. Because, as you well know, Disney is
Nick Wilde And Judy Hopps Are On The Way To Disney Parks, Direct From Disney's 'zootopia'
Zootopia opens in theaters on March 4, 2016. Until then, here’s a wonderful sneak peek into the world of ‘Zootopia’ as we visit Flash the Sloth who works at the DMV. This experience brilliantly captures our real life. *applauds Disney once again*

Viewers are presented with six episodes surrounding some of their favorite furry friends and all their animal antics, but how does the show measure up compared to its inspiration? Does
Are these supporting characters from the film worthy of their own spinoff? The answers to those questions and more lie in the urban jungle of this Disney+ original.
Ways Imagineering Is Bringing Zootopia To Life At Shanghai Disney Resort
Right from the opening seconds of the first episode, viewers are hit with a rumbling swing number reminiscent of Michael Giacchino’s score from the original film. Pair that with the stylish art-deco-animated intro and it makes for what should become one of the most delightful opening sequences from a Disney+ original.
The animation of the shorts themselves is as clear and crisp as the original film, showing that Disney did not slack off on the art and design budget. The characters and environments are still just as vibrant and lovely as they were in the film, and the dedication to bringing the city of Zootopia to life is still keenly felt. What really matters at this point in the game is how the stories, environment, and characters all interact to get this show on the road.
Since the series itself is divided into six different episodes concerning the lives and (mis)adventures of Zootopia’s animal populace, it only feels fair to discuss each chapter individually. It should be noted that while each episode will be examined separately, fans can rest easily knowing that the series as a whole is as infectious and delightful as Gazelle’s hit single. Viewers looking for a return to one of Disney’s most enchanting worlds won’t be disappointed on that factor, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with visiting an old friend. However, in order to thoroughly study what viewers are in for, we have to look at each episode as its own entity before a consensus can be reached.

The series comes out swinging with a fast-paced chase scene featuring Stu and Bonnie Hopps. When one of their 275 offspring stows away on board the Zootopia express seen in the beginning of the feature film, the carrot-farming couple has to hop into action to get their baby back.
The episode does exactly what a premiere chapter should do by getting the audience hyped and maintaining that momentum as the plot progresses. Plus, Disney was kind enough to really lay on the easter eggs in the series debut episode. Viewers can spot several character cameos, including Gideon Grey, Yax, and even an appearance from Nick and Finnick preparing their popsicle hustle. The icing on the cake, however, is how incredibly well Bonnie and Stu play off each other when they are forced out of their comfort zones and into the roles of action heroes.
Is an absolute riot. As Fru Fru prepares for her wedding with the rest of her rodent gal pals, her party is suddenly crashed by her cousin, Tru Tru. What transpires is a hilarious take on

On a Little-Rodentia-sized scale. These girls might not be big, but the laughs certainly are. As Tru Tru’s good intentions start walking on the bride’s boundaries, tempers and tensions increase until a certain giant donut grants Fru Fru a little perspective. Without going into spoilers, the end scene with the dress and the bouquet is the highlight of the episode.
The award for most easter eggs in a single episode has to go to the third entry in this animated series. It’s a mammalian musical starring that duke of bootlegs, Duke Weasleton with a purely Disney song sequence. It’s not exactly
But a mad amount of applause has to be given to Alan Tudyk as he gives Duke a surprisingly infectious and delightful musical number about turning his life around and hitting “the big time.” It’s amazing what the right perspective can do to a feature film’s side character, and that’s precisely what this mini musical provides as Duke is taken on an inspirational musical fantasy as he pulls himself up from a rubbish heap and into a delightful song and dance routine. Of course, reality has to come crashing in eventually, but that doesn’t mean the little crook is down and out.
Review: Disney Falls Short Of Past Greatness With 'zootopia,' But Animated Film Tackles A Big Idea
Series, but this origin story for Zootopia’s miniature mafioso, Mr. Big, is an unexpectedly heartwarming flashback to his Grandmama’s bakery with an appropriately comedic tone as Disney proves that they can still make some of the best slapstick in the animation business. While it’s only a few minutes long, it’s easily the most cinematic episode in the entire series. The use of color and cinematography is incredibly creative, as is its storytelling. The episode not only explores the character of Mr. Big, but the founding of Little Rodentia as well. By doing this, the series contributes to
World building tremendously. Mr. Big himself might come off as Marlon Brando in miniature (thanks to Maurice LaMarche’s incomparable vocal performance), but he’s not exactly the ruthless mobster he was painted as in the original film. Still, he did break his promise to Fru Fru about icing guests at her wedding.
If there’s one thing viewers can take away from Clawhauser other than his insatiable love for donuts and his pleasantly plump exterior, it’s his love for that angel with horns cosplaying as Shakira, Gazelle. When he lures Chief Bogo into an audition for Gazelle’s dance competition under false pretenses, his opportunity to meet his favorite pop star gets put on the line. A pair of tight pants and some body paint later, Bogo and Clawhauser have to dance their hearts out to impress Gazelle and her panel of judges. In all honesty, the liar-revealed plot line is one of the most overplayed cards in the deck, especially by Disney. However, the pairing of two of Zootopia’s finest officers does lead to some delightfully comedic antics. That being said, some viewers might consider this the weakest episode in the season.
Zootopia' Franchise Gets Its Own Spinoff
It’s amazing what Disney can do with a single joke stretched out across an entire episode, but the dinner date between Flash and Pricilla can best be described as “excruciatingly funny.” Where the first episode was fast-paced and frenzied, the final episode brilliantly contrasts with its sloth-like speed and pacing. As super server Sam has to rush her shift in order to make it to Gazelle’s concert. All goes according to plan and ahead of schedule until a certain pair of sloths have a dinner reservation that brings Sam’s marvelous momentum to a grinding halt. While the little
