Park World explores Zootopia, Shanghai Disney’s hottest new habitat based on the beloved Disney movie of the same name
S
ince it opened in December last year, Shanghai Disney Resort’s immensely detailed, wonderfully immersive Zootopia has been drawing visitors in their droves. Each and every element of the land, from
entertainment right through to F&B, has been designed to delight, amuse and immerse visitors who come to this great metropolis of mammals. The 2016 Walt Disney Animation Studios Zootopia movie which has inspired
the new land has been one of Disney’s great successes. It grossed over $1 billion at the box office globally, and brought home an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, comments: ““Our popular
Zootopia film continues to delight fans across the globe, especially in China, and we’re excited to give guests at Shanghai Disney Resort the chance to interact with the stories and characters they love in innovative new ways when they visit this spectacular new land.”
The success of the movie means the land has a lot to live up to - and
Shanghai Disney has certainly risen to the challenge. Every sight and sound comes together to bring to life the Zootopia movie, bringing visitors into the heart of the Mammalian Metropolis while also bringing them face to face with many of the movie’s beloved characters. Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort,
explains: “The beloved Disney Animation film Zootopia has fostered a strong connection with its audience since its debut. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring that very connection to life right here in Shanghai with this one-of-a-kind themed land.” Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney’s parks division, adds: “Storytelling is
what we do best… and our cast and Walt Disney Imagineers excel at bringing favourite stories to life in a way only Disney can. Zootopia is a place where the outside world falls away as you enter an immersive, story-driven environment
