In reply to Manuel Orozco. You should check out the couple of videos that he's posted on Twitter concerning sound effects!

In reply to Iftekhar Ahmed. No thanks besides I'm not a big fan of Disney stuff from the 70's.

In reply to Manuel Orozco. Funnily enough, Robin Hood is notorious as being the movie to rip off the most assets and scenes from other Disney movies. Regardless, it's an enjoyably fun movie. The inspiration came from Robin Hood as it was the first "entirely animal" Disney movie, and truth be told, even Disney don't want to talk about Chicken Little!

In reply to Iftekhar Ahmed. I loved Wreck it Ralph! I actually never saw the whole Robin Hood movie before but I saw bits of it as a kid.

Damn. The very last line where he said from the instant you hear it you’ll love it…Zootopia seems to be getting better and better. I initially had low expectations for this film. If it’s anywhere as profound as Inside Out’s score, my expectations are exceeded.

In reply to leoncor. Exactly, I have a very Wreck-it Ralph and Robin Hood vibe with this movie which makes perfect sense considering that Rich Moore is a director for this movie and that Byron Howard initially made this movie as a tribute to Robin Hood. It's a shame that so many people are skeptical about the potential of this movie just because it's the next anthropomorphic movie after Chicken Little. Disney fans, please give Zootopia a chance!

YES!!! I think he’s the best composer (animation or not) from recent years, totally on board with this.

“It’s one of those films with a huge heart and wonderfully realized characters set within a story that’s not only incredibly fun and entertaining but takes an honest look at our own world and the important issues we deal with living in such a diverse society”. Knowing that this film is already dealing with prejudice and stereotypes, Michael’s statement about challenges in a diverse society has supported my theory that maybe this movie’s message will be tied to racism and injustice.

That’s kind of deep, but Disney has a way of spreading those kinds of messages while being family friendly at the same time. And racism and injustice is especially tied to stereotypes in our country today. I doubt that Disney is going to go deeply dark and mature for this film, but the themes and story content released for Zootopia so far has convinced me that this film’s message on stereotypes will be very easy to compare to racism today.

Still, very excited for this film, and can’t wait to hear what Michael has for us to hear!

This is great news to me! Mr. Giacchino is definitely in tune with another level of music than the majority of the world- he hears, composes, and shares pure emotion through his work. Whenever I listen to his soundtracks, even before i see the movie, I can just feel the passion and can put myself in the story and shoes of the characters. I’m super excited to hear what comes of this and know Zootopia will benefit from him!
