Ginnifer Goodwin has joined Jason Bateman to voice star in Walt Disney Animation’s Zootopia.
The project is being directed by Byron Howard (Tangled) and Rich Moore (Wreck-it Ralph) and co-directed by Jared Bush. It has a March 4, 2016 release date.
The script, by Bush, is set in a modern mammal metropolis comprised of neighborhoods such as ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown.
Goodwin will voice a bunny named Judy Hopps (get it?), a by-the-book metermaid with dreams of being a police officer. But being the first bunny on the force is not within reach so when a mystery is discovered, Hopps forges an unlikely friendship with a fast-talking scam-artist fox (Bateman) to solve it. Together they will upend the predator-prey preconceptions that permeate this metropolis.
Goodwin is already a friend of the Disney kingdom. In addition to Once Upon a Time, which airs on Disney-owned ABC, has also voiced one of the main characters in Disney’s most recent installment of its popular Tinker Bell home entertainment franchise Tinker Bell and the Legend of the Never Beast.
