Zootopia, the upcoming CG adventure animated movie from Disney, is actually titled Zootropolis is the U.K., check out this new international trailer:

DISNEY’S ZOOTOPIA

Welcome to Zootopia where one smooth fox has one sly plan.

But he has one big problem!

From the creators of Frozen and Big Hero 6.

Get ready to unleash your wild side!

Plot synopsis:
“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. ”

The U.S. title “Zootopia” is a portmanteau word blending Zoo and utopia, and “Zootropolis” the U.K. title is a portmanteau blending Zoo and metropolis (city). I guess they don’t believe in utopia anymore in Europe… So they changed the title over there.

The film will hit theaters on March 4, 2016.

Zootopia’s top cop, a self-righteous rabbit, is hot on his tail, but when both become targets of a conspiracy, they’re forced to team up and discover even natural enemies can become best friends.”

Would you address the elephant in the room? Or or would you rather bury your head in the sand like an ostrich?

Release date: March 4, 2016.
