“Zootopia” is Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 55th animated feature and last night it had a Hollywood Premiere worthy of Disney’s animation legacy. In front of a huge Zootopia themed red-carpet, VIPs including filmmakers, voice cast, and special guests walked the red carpet leading to the El Capitan Theatre.
Attendees were also invited to a special Zootopia party where you could make yourself into a Zootopia animal, sample some appropriately themed party food, and meet Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde walk-around characters.
Here are a few photo highlights from the evening (click photos to view larger):

Looks like everyone had a lot of fun. As we reported, the movie is getting great reviews, so I can’t wait to see it myself when it opens in the US on March 4th.
