Zootropolis: A chat with directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore

Ahead of the release of Zootropolis, the latest Disney animated movie set in a modern mammal metropolis, we had a chat with directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore. Zootropolis is a city like no other, comprised of habitat neighbourhoods 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.

The directors told us about how they created this fantastic world, the intergenerational message of the movie and the story behind the hilarious sloth scene.

Zootropolis is released nationwide on 25th March 2016, read our review here.
