In what year was Zootopia released?

Zootopia was released in 2016. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ buddy-cop film opened in the United States on March 4, 2016, after its international festival and theatrical premieres earlier that year.

The film was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore and written by Jared Bush and Phil Johnston. It follows Judy Hopps, a rabbit who becomes a police officer, and Nick Wilde, a fox who helps her investigate the disappearance of predators in a city built for many animal species.

The date can be confusing because Zootopia premiered before its U.S. release: it was shown at the Brussels Animation Film Festival in February 2016. Disney also used different titles in some markets, including Zootropolis in the United Kingdom and several other territories and Zoomania in Germany. The film became one of Disney Animation’s major commercial successes, earning more than $1 billion worldwide and winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 89th Oscars.
