Just announced at the D23 Expo’s Disney Animation panel, pop sensation Shakira will join Zootopia. Her character, Gazelle, is the city’s biggest singing talent, and sings an encouraging song, “Try Everything” to bunny Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin). The song exemplifies the film’s theme of anyone being able to do anything.
Directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, Zooptia opens in theaters March 4, 2016.
What do you think of this casting choice? Did you expect ‘Zootopia’ to feature a song?
