Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has announced that Zootopia will be available to own on June 7, 2016 in several formats including the Ultimate Collector’s Edition which features the film in 3D Blu-ray format as well as Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD formats. Other formats include Blu-ray/DVD Combo and Disney Movies Anywhere. The Blu-ray will feature 28 minutes of additional footage not seen in the original film. In addition, Target has announced a retailer exclusive with cover art plus over 15 minutes of content including voice cast interviews and first cuts from the film.
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together — a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery.
WDSHE has also released a sample clip from the ‘ZPD Forensic Files’ bonus feature which you can see embedded here:
