This is the new trailer for Zootopia due for release next year

This looks like it is going to be a funny comedy - I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

We haven't had a true Disney comedy animated film in quite a while (in fact, I think Chicken Little is the last 'comedy' film to come from Walt Disney Animated Studios!). All the films since then have been adventure films with comedy in them (but not true comedies).

Hmmm... well, I'm going to remain open minded but I'm going to say its not thrilling me so far....
Hoping as it get closer, it grows on me.

Hi. A couple of weeks ago I talked with one of the people who work at feature animations and from what they told me there are some very funny scenes. Am looking forward to seeing it myself.

Hi Kevin and welcome to the forum!

I can't wait to see a proper trailer. Walt Disney Animation have really been on a roll lately with quality films so I have high confidence in this project. The premise and characters look great. The directors are also two of my favourite animation directors so this has everything going for it!

Hi Kevin welcome

I will of course want see it but am keen to see more trailer material I suppose. I'll decide from there if its a 'at the cinema' or 'wait for the DVD' movie for me.

And I should say how WRONG I got it over the whole Tinkerbell movie Juggernaut.... I watched the whole lot in a row recently and LOVED them to bits... I am a complete convert so this might also be one of those moments as well ... haha. ..

Welcome Kevin thanks for joining in

Thanks for the welcome guys. I am an Aussie working for Disney in burbank, ca and saw a write up about you folks while reading a newspaper online.

Let me know when you visit LA next and I will give you a tour of the Studio Backlot in Burbank.

Wow, thanks Kevin, that's a very generous offer. I'm in Pittsburgh PA at the moment but heading home to Sydney in time for the club meeting this weekend. It is a shame I can't change plans and pop over to LA for a quick catch up but I'll be there in August so might be able to head to Burbank then. Of course your offer could be dangerous given how many of our club members travel to LA!

You'll have to tell us how you ended up working there from Australia.

Yes you might regret that offer Kevin

Lol, how do I delete a post? I suppose we will have to see how many people take up the offer.

Oh if you guys are visiting Disneyland or California adventures and see a guy with a laptop with a bunch of disney stickers on it, come over and say hi. Now and then I take a break from the office and work down at the parks which is a lot of fun. I did it yesterday but it got too hot and busy so came back to burbank for the afternoon.

Is there a way with this forum to have it send me a digest of activity? At the moment I have to log in and navigate to the forum.

Also, Which section should we use for just chatting since I am way off the zootopia topic?

Yep, we have gotten off track. I've copied the last few posts to the Down Under Disneyana forum so we can continue our chats there. See thread titled "Kevin in Burbank".

Everyone, please use this thread to continue Zootopia discussions.

Anyone been to see Zootopia yet?  I'm planning to over the Easter break... the more snippets I've seen the more I'm looking forward to it.  

I'm hoping it will hang around until school holidays, but if the kids start driving me crazy this weekend we might cave in and go see it earlier.

I would imagine most cinemas would still run it through to holidays... I hope so too so I  can go see it again with my nephews.
