VOICE CAST REVEALED
Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason
Bateman Head to “Zootopia”
Walt
Disney Animation Studios welcomes Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman to
“Zootopia,” Disney’s 2016 animated feature set in a modern mammal metropolis.
Goodwin (ABC’s “Once Upon a Time,” “Something Borrowed,” “Walk the Line”) will
lend her voice to an optimistic bunny named Judy Hopps who’s new to Zootopia’s
police department. Jason Bateman (“Horrible Bosses 2,” “This is Where I Leave
You”) voices the scamming fox, Nick Wilde, who Judy reluctantly teams up with
to crack her first case.
“We
knew that ‘Zootopia’ would only succeed if we found the perfect actors to play
our main characters,” said director Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”). “This
rabbit- and fox-duo are in practically every scene in the film
together. After meeting Ginnifer, we knew she embodied Hopps, the ultimate
pure-of-heart, idealist bunny. You fall in love with her
character instantly. And for Nick Wilde, our cynical con-artist fox,
we only ever had one actor in mind, the incomparable Jason Bateman. Jason
has a way of saying the most hilarious sarcastic things while always
staying completely charming. We feel so fortunate to be working with
both of them.”
The
film opens nationwide March 4, 2016.
ABOUT
THE MOVIE
The
modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of
habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a
melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no
matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can
be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that
being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy.
Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even
if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to
solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a
comedy-adventure is directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore
(“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn
Zero: Part-Time Hero”).
