D23 Expo 2013: Zootopia banner

Just when you thought Disney animation reached a new high in creativity with Wreck-It Ralph comes Zootopia, a newly-announced feature that will land in theatres in 2016. The new film was announced on Friday at the Animation panel at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA.

Zootopia (the working title), directed by Byron Howard of Tangled fame and written by Jared Bush, is a buddy action-comedy where humans don’t exist. This world is inhabited, constructed, and ruled by animals.

Howard, who grew up and loved Robin Hood, said he had always wanted to develop a film focused around animals wearing clothes. No joke. It looks like he will execute that in fine film fashion, constructing a society that has as much originality as it does details.

D23 Expo 2013: Big Hero 6 banner

Get ready for some Marvel Comics inspiration in a Disney animated film! Big Hero 6 will detail what happens when the imagination and innovation from those two atmospheres collide.

Director Don Hall (Winnie the Pooh), enchanted by both Disney and comic books growing up, spoke to the audience on Friday at the Animation panel at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA, describing Big 6 Hero as “inspired by the culture of Japan… mashed up with America.”

Set in San Fransokyo, a mesh of two major cities of the world – San Francisco and Tokyo – draws influences from both metropolitan areas.

Tron: Uprising, an arrestingly-captivating new animated original series on the Disney XD channel, brings viewers back into the grid with the dynamic visuals, electrifying music and gripping storytelling that rekindled audiences with digital dazzle in Tron: Legacy.

Set between the original Tron and Tron: Legacy, Tron: Uprising focuses on mechanic-turned-renegade Beck (voiced by Elijah Wood), a deft programmer living in the stunning Argon City. Beck’s free-thinking society is soon threatened by the menacing General Tesler (Lance Henriksen), one of the evil CLU’s cohorts, who aims to take charge of the metropolis. Once his friend is “derezzed,” or the Tron version of someone being killed, Beck avenges his death by disguising himself as believed-to-be-dead hero Tron and inspiring a revolution. In the intense prologue special, “Beck’s Beginning,” we see this as almost an origins story, provided with heavy exposition to better understand the characters and storyline.
