Despite being the academy valedictorian, Judy is delegated to parking duty by Chief Bogo, who doubts her potential because she is a rabbit. On her first day, she is hustled by a con artist fox duo, Nick Wilde and Finnick. The next day, Judy abandons parking duty to arrest Duke Weaselton, a weasel who stole a bag of crocus bulbs known as Midnicampum holicithias. Bogo reprimands her, but Mrs. Otterton enters Bogo 's office pleading for someone to find her husband Emmitt, one of fourteen predators who are missing. When Judy volunteers and Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellwether praises the assignment, Bogo gives her 48 hours to find Otterton on the condition that she resign if she fails. After determining Nick was a suspect seen in Otterton 's last known sighting, Judy blackmails him into assisting her by covertly recording his confession to tax evasion with her carrot pen. They track Otterton to a limousine owned by crime boss Mr. Big, who reveals Otterton went `` savage '' -- reverted to a feral state -- and attacked his chauffeur Manchas. At his home, Manchas mentions Otterton yelled about `` night howlers '' before the attack. Moments later, Manchas himself turns savage and chases the pair. Judy saves Nick by trapping Manchas and calls the ZPD for help, but when they arrive, Manchas has vanished. Bogo demands Judy 's resignation, but Nick reminds Bogo that Judy still has ten hours to solve the case. Judy learns from Nick that he was bullied as a child when he tried to join the Ranger Scouts, who stereotyped him as untrustworthy for being a fox. At City Hall, Bellwether offers Judy and Nick access to the city 's traffic cameras. They discover Manchas was captured by wolves, who Judy surmises are the `` night howlers ''. They locate the missing predators -- all gone savage -- imprisoned at Cliffside Asylum, where Mayor Leodore Lionheart hides them from the public while a scientist tries to determine the cause of their behavior. Lionheart and those involved are arrested for false imprisonment and Bellwether becomes the new mayor. Judy, praised for solving the case, has become friends with Nick and asks him to join the ZPD as her partner. However, she upsets him at a press conference by suggesting a predatory biological cause for the recent savage behavior, and her comments cause tension between predators and prey throughout the city. Feeling guilty for the results of her words, Judy quits her job. Back in Bunnyburrow, Judy learns that the night howlers are actually toxic flowers that have severe psychotropic effects on mammals. After returning to Zootopia and reconciling with Nick, the pair confront Weaselton, who tells them the bulbs he stole were for a ram named Doug. They find Doug in a laboratory hidden in the city subway, developing a drug made from night howlers, which he has been shooting at predators with a dart gun. Judy and Nick obtain the serum as evidence, but before they can reach the ZPD, Bellwether confronts them in the Natural History Museum and takes the evidence, revealing herself as the mastermind behind a prey - supremacist conspiracy. Judy and Nick are trapped after Nick refuses to abandon an injured Judy. Bellwether shoots a serum pellet at Nick to make him kill Judy, and summons the ZPD for help, but Judy and Nick have replaced the serum pellets in Bellwether 's gun with blueberries. Enraged, Bellwether threatens to frame the pair for the attacks, but Judy has recorded Bellwether 's confession. Bogo and the ZPD arrive and Bellwether is arrested. Lionheart publicly denies knowledge of Bellwether 's plot and states that his imprisonment of the savage predators was a `` wrong thing for the right reason ''. With the cause of the epidemic identified, the savage animals are cured and Judy rejoins the ZPD.

Production Writing Development of the film that would come to be called Zootopia began when Byron Howard pitched six story ideas to Disney Animation chief creative officer and executive producer John Lasseter, of which three involved animal characters : an all - animal adaptation of The Three Musketeers, a 1960s - themed story about a `` mad doctor cat... who turned children into animals, '' and a `` bounty hunter pug in space. '' The common thread running through these ideas was that Howard wanted to do a film similar to Disney 's Robin Hood, which also featured animals in anthropomorphic roles. According to Howard, Zootopia emerged from his desire to create something different from other animal anthropomorphic films, where animals either live in the natural world or in the human world. His concept, in which animals live in a modern world designed by animals for animals, was well received by Lasseter, who responded by embracing and lifting Howard `` in the air like a baby Simba. '' Lasseter suggested that Howard should try combining the 1960s theme with the animal characters, especially the space pug. This led Howard to develop and pitch Savage Seas, an international spy film centered on an arctic hare named `` Jack Savage '' who was somewhat like James Bond. It was around this time that screenwriter Jared Bush was hired to work on the film ; he was excited to work on a spy film because his own father and grandfather had worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. Howard and Bush continued to develop the film with the assistance of the Disney Story Trust, the studio 's top creative personnel who meet regularly to review and discuss all projects in development. The most delightful part of the spy film turned out to be its first act, set in a city created by and for animals. To focus on the all - animal city, Howard eventually dropped the 1960s setting, along with the espionage and international aspects, which caused the film to evolve into a contemporary police procedural in which Nick Wilde was the lead role and Judy Hopps was essentially his sidekick. For a while, `` the filmmakers were very committed '' to that version of the story, but then in November 2014, the filmmakers realized the film 's plot would be more engaging if they reversed the roles to instead focus on Hopps as opposed to Wilde. The change in perspective caused several characters to be dropped, including two characters known as `` The Gerbil Jerks '' who were described as `` trust - fund gerbils that had nothing better to do than harass Nick. '' Pre-production Directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore presented footage from the film at the 2015 Annecy International Animated Film Festival In May 2013, The Hollywood Reporter initially reported that Howard was directing the film and that Jason Bateman had been cast, but little else about the film was known at the time. Zootopia was first officially announced in August 2013 at the D23 Expo, with a March 2016 release date. Research for the film took place in Disney 's Animal Kingdom, as well as in Kenya and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, where animators spent eight months studying various animals ' walk cycles as well as fur color. 800,000 forms of mammals were created for and featured in the film. To make the characters ' fur even more realistic, they also went to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County to closely observe the appearance of fur with a microscope under a variety of lighting. 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. 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. For assistance with designing motor vehicles appropriate for so many different types and sizes of mammals, the filmmakers consulted with J Mays, former chief creative officer of the Ford Motor Company. During the development process, Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan F. Horn suggested that Nick should expressly state his disappointment ( `` Just when I thought someone actually believed in me... '' ) after discovering that Judy still fears him as a predator. 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. Animation Disney 's most recent work on animating fur was for the titular character of the 2008 film Bolt, but the software they had used at the time was not ready for creating the realistic fur of the animals of Zootopia. Therefore, the studio 's IT engineers developed the fur - controlling software iGroom, which gave character designers precise control over the brushing, shaping and shading of fur and made it possible to create a variety of eccentric character styles for each animal. The software was also able to control an unseen `` imaginary '' underlayer that gave fur a degree of plushness not seen before. This feature was used to create characters like Officer Clawhauser, who has a big head that is entirely made of spotted fur. Characters with noteworthy numbers of strands of hair or fur included both of the two lead characters, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who each had around 2.5 million hairs ; a giraffe with nine million strands of fur ; a gerbil with 480,000 strands ; and a rodent with more strands of hair than the 400,000 that were on Elsa 's head in Frozen. Zootopia was the second time Disney used the Hyperion renderer, which they had first used on Big Hero 6. A new fur paradigm was added to the renderer to facilitate the creation of realistic images of the animals ' dense fur. Nitro, a real - time display application developed since the making of Wreck - It Ralph, was used to make the fur more consistent, intact and subtle much more quickly, as opposed to the previous practice of having to predict how the fur would work while making and looking at silhouettes or poses for the character. The tree - and - plant generator Bonsai, first used in Frozen, was used to make numerous variations of trees with very detailed foliage. Zootopia was produced in makeshift quarters in a giant warehouse in North Hollywood ( together with Moana ) while Disney Animation 's headquarters in Burbank was being renovated. Casting On May 6, 2015, Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin were announced as having been cast, respectively in the roles of Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps. 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. 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. ' '' 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.

In its second weekend, it grossed $60 million, an enormous increase of 139 % from its previous weekend, and crossed the $100 million mark to become the third animated film in China to do so, after Kung Fu Panda 3 and Monkey King : Hero Is Back. This also marked the single best weekend for an animated film. 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. In its third weekend, it grossed $40 million for a total of $175 million, making it the highest - grossing animated film of all time in China. On March 27, its seventeenth day of release, it passed the $200 million mark, becoming the first animated film, the second Disney film, and the sixth Hollywood film overall to pass that milestone. It became the highest - grossing animated film of all time and the second highest - grossing film of 2016, behind only The Mermaid. It opened in Japan on April 23 and earned $4 million in its opening weekend, debuting at second place in the box office, behind Detective Conan : The Darkest Nightmare, and had the third biggest Walt Disney Animation Studios debut in that market, behind Frozen and Big Hero 6. Deadline.com pointed out that the average opening number might have been due to the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes, which could have affected moviegoers. In a rare achievement, it topped the box office in its third weekend after two weeks at No. 2. In the following two weekends, it continued to increase its ticket sales, and topped the box office there for four consecutive weekends. After four straight wins, it was finally overtaken by the R - rated superhero film Deadpool. It was the No. 1 western / Hollywood film for eight consecutive weekends. The Hollywood Reporter cited that strong word of mouth, audiences watching both the English and Japanese versions, and 3D and 4DX screenings, as well as a popular Japanese version of the `` Try Everything '' song by Dream Ami, all helped boost Zootopia 's performance. Its strong run in the market aided the film to propel past the $1 billion mark worldwide. It remained in top three for 11 consecutive weekends and has grossed a total of $70.1 million there. Critical response On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 98 % based on 256 reviews, with a weighted average rating of 8.1 / 10. The site 's critical consensus 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. '' It was the site 's second highest - rated film of 2016 behind Moonlight. On Metacritic, the film has a normalized score of 78 out of 100, based on 43 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale. Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times considered the movie `` funny, smart, ( and ) thought - provoking. '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote that Zootopia `` may be the most subversive movie of '' 2016, giving the film three - and - a-half stars out of four and 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. Peter Debruge at Variety opined that Zootopia `` plays directly to the studio 's strengths. '' 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. '' Writing in British Sunday newspaper The Observer, reviewer Mark Kermode found the film to be a `` very funny, and very likable holiday treat. '' He added, `` The ensuing drama is nominally a tale of predators succumbing to their animal instincts while frightened prey fear their neighbours. In fact, it 's a delightfully well - orchestrated parable about trust and tolerance versus panic and prejudice. An encouragingly upbeat celebration of love and diversity in times of hate and uncertainty. If that all sounds overly on - message, then fear not -- the jokes are funny, the characters engaging, and the animation packed with delicious visual detail, '' before concluding, `` (... ) this is proper family fun with genuine cross-generational appeal. Hooray ! '' In the UK daily newspaper The Daily Telegraph, Robbie Collin noted, `` The lion does n't just lie down with the lamb, they run for City Hall on a joint ticket. It 's the diversity dream come true. Or is it ? (... ) Think Busytown by way of Chinatown. It 's almost certain to be the most existentially probing talking animal cartoon of the year. '' Collin added, `` Like Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy in 48 Hrs., albeit considerably cuter, Judy and Nick make a hilariously strained but effective double act -- not least thanks to Goodwin and Bateman 's tremendous vocal work, which trips along with the effortless swing and snap of great bebop. '' Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com, despite generally liking the film ( three out of four stars ), had trouble with the film 's central metaphor that conflicted with its message, stating that `` ( Zootopia ) is constantly asking its characters to look past species stereotypes, and not use species - ist language or repeat hurtful assumptions... This all seems clever and noble until you realize that all the stereotypes about various animals are to some extent true, in particular the most basic one : carnivores eat herbivores because it 's in their nature. '' He ended his review pointing out that `` if ( Zootopia ) were a bit vaguer, or perhaps dumber and less pleased with itself, it might have been a classic, albeit of a very different, less reputable sort. As - is, it 's a goodhearted, handsomely executed film that does n't add up in the way it wants to. '' Also in The Daily Telegraph, Rosa Prince singled out the film 's lead character, Judy Hopps, as a welcome change for Disney animated feature film heroines, such as the Disney Princess franchise. She found that unlike those characters ' focus on romance or family loyalty, Hopps ' focus is on her dream career as a police officer and serving her city. Some were critical of the message about universal prejudices of all sorts interpreted as an allegory of American racism. Nico Lang of Consequence of Sound felt that Disney delivered a kids ' version of Crash while others criticized the use of prey and predator species. Accolades Main article : List of accolades received by Zootopia The film was chosen by the American Film Institute as one of the top ten films of 2016, and won the Academy Award, Golden Globe, Critics ' Choice Movie Award and Annie Award for Best Animated Feature Film, as well as receiving a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. Lawsuit On March 21, 2017, a copyright infringement lawsuit was filed against Disney by Esplanade Productions, a company owned by Gary L. Goldman, the co-screenwriter of Total Recall. The lawsuit claims that Goldman ( in 2000 and 2009 ) pitched a concept to Disney for a live - action film titled Looney, which was about a socially awkward animator who creates a self - inspired TV cartoon called Zootopia. Disney twice rejected the pitch, but Goldman accused the company of copying the name, themes, settings, and character tropes. Filed with the lawsuit was a graphic of early concept artwork of characters that are claimed to appear similar to major characters from the film, including Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, Flash, and Chief Bogo. A Disney spokesperson described the lawsuit as being `` ridden with patently false allegations. '' After months of back - and - forth deliberation between the two parties, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald dismissed the infringement claims on November 8, 2017. As stated in the final review, ``... Goldman 's effort to make the plots of Looney and Zootopia seem similar were strained. All the purported similarities between the two works were themes, not plot points or sequences of events, that were too general to be protected by copyright law. '' Merchandise A card game based on the film called Zootopia : Suspect Search was released, as well as a game for mobile phones titled Zootopia Crime Files. Future In June 2016, Howard and Moore were in the talks about a possibility of a Zootopia sequel. In the same month, in an interview about challenges and ideas for Zootopia 2, Ginnifer Goodwin revealed that she wishes to reprise her role as Judy Hopps in a sequel.
