The idea of Zootopia is both incredibly simple and insanely difficult to get your mind around. It’s set in a world where animals live, walk and dress like humans. Okay, but what does that mean? A new trailer, with a scene we can all relate to, gives you a great idea.
If an animal city is just like a human city, they’re going to need a DMV. And, of course, it’s going to be slow. So, in a stoke of genius that seems to apply to each of the details going into this new film, all the DMV employees are sloths.
Zootopia is about a bunny cop named Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) who must team up with a sly fox named Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) to solve a case that will cut to the core of the animal city. Directed by Byron Howard (Bolt) and Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph), it opens March 4.
