Walt Disney Animation’s upcoming feature Zootopia is going to be gorgeous, if the concept art is anything to go by.
Zootopia takes place in a futuristic mammal metropolis, inhabited by animals from every corner of the globe. The city is divided into habitat sections like “Sahara Square” and “Tundratown,” and all animals seem able to co-exist in peace.
But when Judy Hopps becomes the first bunny in the police force, she’s got to prove herself to the bigger, tougher animals. So she partners with the fast-talking fox Nick Wilde to solve an intriguing mystery, after Nick is framed for a crime he didn’t commit.
The movie is directed by Tangled‘s Byron Howard and Wreck-It Ralph‘s Rich Moore, with Jared Bush serving as co-director.

While Zootopia won’t be released until 2016, Disney has now provided a second, stunning piece of concept art for the buddy-cop adventure:
As the image of the city shows, Zootopia will be a character in itself. It’s not a human city inhabited by animals; Disney is designing a modern habitat which anthropomorphic animals might have constructed for themselves.
No voice actors have yet been announced for this title, but Jason Bateman has been in talks for a role – possibly the Nick Wilde character.
Zootopia is set to hit cinemas exactly one year from now, on March 4, 2016!
