Brief Introduction of zootopia's Movie Plot
Modern animal city, each animal has its own residence, Sahara square with desert climate, glacier town with cold all year round and so on. Like a melting pot, animals live in peace here-whether elephants or mice, they can make a name for themselves as long as they work hard. Judy Rabbit dreamed of becoming a policeman in an animal city since she was a child. Although everyone around her thinks that Rabbit can't be a policeman, through her own efforts, she became the first policeman in a big animal city. In order to prove herself, she is determined to solve a mysterious case. On the way to the truth, Judy forced Nick Fox, who lives in the animal city, to help herself, only to find that there was a huge conspiracy to subvert the animal city behind this case, and they had to work together with Qi Xin to try to uncover the truth hidden behind this huge conspiracy.
Behind-the-scenes tidbits of zootopia's films
Before the original idea of Fox Nick and Judy Rabbit was constructed, the film was mainly played by Fox Nick, and the image of Fox Nick came from the image of Robin Hood the Fox in the Disney animated film Robin Hood 1973.
Kristen bell, who voiced Princess Anna in Frozen, voiced Pusila, the pink sloth, because kristen bell really likes sloths. The Duke of Weston who robbed the bank was voiced by Allen Toudic, and Allen also voiced the Duke of Weston of the same name in Frozen.
There are 64 kinds of animals in the film, and the animators keep the characteristics of real animals and bring them to the characters in the film.
This film is the first animated feature film jointly produced by michael giacchino, an award-winning composer, and Disney Animation Studio.
Ginnifer goodwin had little experience in animation dubbing before, and the creator involved her from the beginning, showing her the creation of the film and the characters, and helping her understand all aspects of the role.
In this movie, the police chief is a strong bull. The crew studied the daily collocation of fitness people and the dress style of muscular police, so in the final draft, a button was opened at the neck.
The mob boss was originally set as a polar bear, and his men were also a group of polar bears. John lasseter, the executive producer, thinks it's not surprising that the gangster is set as a polar bear by telling more jokes through different types of characters. Jim reardon, one of the screenwriters, suggested that the gangster be named "Mr. Big".
The film smacks of paying tribute to the Hollywood gangster film The Godfather. "Mr. Da" in the film has an authentic Italian accent, and Moliis Ramach, the voice of Mr. Da, is very good at imitating Marlon Brando.
When designing a role, producers will post photos of stars for employees' reference, so that they can know what the role probably feels like.
The film was originally a spy story, similar to the animal version of 007, called Savage Sees, but no one liked the name, and later Zootopia was adopted. Because of copyright problems in Europe, Britain and other places, it has to be changed. In Europe, this film is called "Zootropolis".
Doug the sheep's costume and the way of cooking drugs with a distillation device in the carriage are all tributes to the American TV series Breaking Bad. Doug bought him coffee from two sheep assistants named "Walter" and "Jesse", which happened to be the names of the two protagonists in Breaking Bad.
Director Niu, voiced by idris elba, is almost identical to his glasses in the crime drama The Wire. At the same time, director Niu's domineering horn modeling restored Heimdahl, the guardian of Rainbow Bridge played by Idris in Thor.
The producer wants to put animals from all over the world in the film, but there is no place to put them, so he has customized some roles for each country. For example, in the version released in North America, the anchor is an elk, voiced by a Canadian host; Australian version, the anchor is koala; In Japan, it is a civet cat; It's a panda in China; In Brazil, it is a jaguar; Britain is ke jiquan.
Shaqiyang, the popular diva of Animal City, was inspired by Shaqila, the Latin American diva, who personally voiced Shaqiyang.
Zootopia's behind-the-scenes film production
Creation background
Zootopia is the 55th animated feature film of Disney Animation Studio. It is inspired by the talking animals in the fairy tale Wind in the Willows. They act like people.
John lasseter, the executive producer of this film, grew up watching Wind in the Willows. He really wants to make a talking animal movie. Director Byrne Howard found that any Disney animation can be applied to modern society and can reflect various societies.
In the early creative version, Fox Nick was the protagonist, and the audience followed Nick's perspective to understand the animal city. However, Nick has long been unable to show any concern and interest in Animal City. If the audience understands Animal City through his pessimistic perspective, the audience will not like Animal City. The creator wants the audience to care about the animal city and whether it can survive, so he changed it to Judy Rabbit as the protagonist, because Judy is more positive and optimistic, which makes Nick's negative remarks contrast with Judy.
production process
In order to vividly show the animal city in the film, the creative team just spent 18 months investigating animals. They visited animal experts from all over the world, including experts from the animal kingdom of Orlando Disney World, and set up a special team to travel to Africa and other parts of the world, even trekking 9,000 miles to Kenya, Africa, to explore animal personality and behavior for two weeks. From this, the landscapes in the film, such as Tongde Town, Sahara Square and Judy's hometown, Bonnie bruns, are designed.
The producer wants to make the animal city look real, so he refers to cities all over the world, not completely imitating the United States, but combining the elements of Asian and South American cities, referring to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Barcelona and Paris. The team members also come from all over the world, with about 800 employees.
Story background
Cities are designed by animals, including rainforests, deserts, ice fields and other different areas. Urban buildings lack materials such as glass, concrete and steel, and are replaced by natural raw materials endowed by nature such as trees, flowers, sand and ice.
In the world of animal city, human beings have never existed. This is a modern civilized world where only animals exist. Animals of different races, such as vegetarians and meat eaters, live in peace in the same city. Animals living in it are all "people"-walking with their feet, wearing clothes and using high-tech electronic products.
The director and screenwriter of the film believe that marine life such as fish belongs to creatures without faith and belief, while primates such as monkeys and orangutans are not included in the animal city because they are too similar to humans and make the audience feel smarter than other animals. On the other hand, cats and dogs are domesticated pets. Without humans, there would be no them.

Goldman said that Disney's films copied his film ideas from the aspects of name, background setting, theme, role, dialogue and atmosphere. According to Goldman Sachs, before the Zootopia project was established, Goldman Sachs had submitted the idea of this animated film to Disney executives. The case is under trial.
