Watch the colour­ful new trail­er for Disney’s Zootropolis

Talk­ing ani­mals in an ani­mat­ed fea­ture? What­ev­er next…

For all those who love sloth-based humour, your fea­ture-ani­mat­ed lot­tery win has final­ly come in. Dis­ney vet­er­an, Byron Howard, last seen cre­at­ing some of the most detailed ani­mat­ed hair in the his­to­ry of the medi­um in 2010’s Tan­gled, teams up with Simp­sons staffer Rich Moore to tell this tale of a world pop­u­lat­ed by cute animals.

This trail­er – which is more of a sin­gle scene pre­view than a tra­di­tion­al jum­ble of moments” – imag­ines a nor­mal human sit­u­a­tion where two police offi­cers attempt to get details of the num­ber plate of a sup­posed felon, and then replace the humans with ani­mals. Simples.

Vocal tal­ent is sup­plied here by Gin­nifer Good­win as a rab­bit and Jason Bate­man as a fox (kudos to who­ev­er made that cast­ing choice), with anoth­er Simp­sons alum­ni in form of Ray­mond S Per­si tak­ing on the role of Flash the sloth. You get a decent idea of what this thing is going to be, and now we can hope that the remain­der of the pic­ture gives us this, and some­thing more as well.

Zoo­trop­o­lis opens in the UK on 25 March.
