BLT Zoo Animals: The Movie

BLT Zoo Animals: The Movie is a 2015 American animated adventure comedy television film based on the animated series BLT Zoo Animals, serving as the series finale. It was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and premiered on Disney Channel on October 4, 2015. The film was directed by series creator Scott M. Gimple, who co-wrote the film with Eddie Guzelian, Matthew Negrete, Madellaine Paxson, and Laura McCreary. The movie centers on the threesome's journey to find Tomato's unnamed (and previously unseen) older cousin after their most recent scam leaves the zoo in a state of devastation.
Gimple first announced a "90 minute special" in 2012, and its title in 2013. Originally set to air in 2013, its premiere date was then moved to 2014, the year it was completed in, and was finally set to release in 2015. Due to the movie, the series' sixth season was shortened, as Gimple and the team at Walt Disney Television Animation wanted to focus more on the production of the film. The score is composed by Craig Riley, who also composed the music for the series. The voice cast features all of the series' voice actors, while series voice director Maurice LaMarche was cast as Tomato's cousin. The film was a success in the ratings for Disney Channel, posting double and triple digit ratings delivery gains and was met with a positive reception. It was also released on the US iTunes Store.
