"Director Byron Howard (Tangled) and writer Jared Bush presented Disney fans with a look at the concept art, overall plot, and the complex animal city of Zootopia. The comedic adventure film follows Nick Wilde, a fast-talking fox who’s trying to make it big, who goes on the run when he’s framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Zootopia’s top cop, the self-righteous rabbit Lt. 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.

The filmmakers said they reached out to anthropologists and animal kingdom specialists for how animals might build a civilization in a world devoid of human beings. They joked that they initially created a wildebeest character as a smart-looking man in a business suit until scientists informed them that wildebeests are among the dumbest animals on earth, prompting them to alter the character to a dim-witted creature in a "I'm with Gnu-pid" t-shirt.

In a nod to how the real world has animal habitats, Zootopia is divided into different regions for different animals of different environments. There's Sahara Square, a fabulously wealthy desert region patterned after Dubai and Monte Carlo complete with casinos and brightly lit nighttime cityscapes; the winter wonderland of Tundratown, where ice mountains are transformed into high rises; Little Rodentia; and the overwhelmingly cute and sweet Burrow Borough, home to a billion bunnies.

Those are just a few of the areas of Zoolandia, which proved to be one of the biggest and best movie surprises at the first day of D23."

It's got the director of Tangled and is going for a Robin Hood feel? AND HAS A FOX? Day One. I also really hope it's in 2D, that promo art looks way too good. Seeing it in 3D would just be weird. Can't wait for 2016.

It's too bad Disney has layed off a bit of a handful of their 2D animation artists the past four months. In addition, it also has been stated that we're never going to get a new 2D film for around four years. I also see somebody decided to post this really early, but I'm okay with this.

 

Can't wait for it to come out in 2016.

Disney still has a 2D department? I thought they totally cut it off. What the hell do they even do?

This looks great.  Don't even care that it's not a return to 2-D animation.  Disney Animation has been on a role lately and I have huge hope for this.
