With the imminent release of Disney’s Zootopia on March 4th, it’s the perfect time to bring you behind-the-scenes stories from the press day Sarah attended at Walt Disney Animation Studios. We had press roundtables with the directors, writers, production designers and character designers/animators of Zootopia. She’ll go into some amazing stories, fun facts and we’ll hear audio from the filmmakers themselves.
Zootopia is a city that’s comprised of different neighborhoods that have different climates to accommodate all types of animals. There’s ritzy Sahara Square for desert animals, Tundratown for the polar bears and moose, the hot and humid Rain Forest District, Little Rodentia for the the tiniest mice, and Bunnyburrows for the millions and millions of super cute bunnies. The downtown area, Savanna Central, is a melting pot where a wide array of mammals from every environment come together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. Judy Hopps, a super-cute bunny, is optimistic and pioneering. Nick Wilde, a sly fox, thinks that’s the only thing he can ever be. When the two meet, that’s when the fun starts to happen!
Sarah was able to see Zootopia at a special #DisneyInfinityNEXT early screening, so she will give her Spoiler-Free review. She also got to meet Allison Petreck of Disney Infinity Toy Box TV. And then let’s get into NEW Disney Infinity characters, Marvel Battlegrounds Playset and more!
Richard takes on the farce that was the Oscars. No awards for The Force Awakens? What is this world coming to? Host Chris Rock had to tap-dance around #OscarsSoWhite and he really did a quick step. As always we have enlightening clips from the Oscars as well as media surrounding the event.
We also have shout outs, and the Skywalker of the Week!
