We're talking about TALKING cartoon animals. You're allowed to suspend your disbelief a tiny bit when seeing that.
Not as angry as the name would suggest.
I mean, considering we're dealing with talking, anthropomorphized animals living in the city, I'd expect them behave rather like humans. Could be a metaphor for race or class relations, who knows?
Oh God! Natural light!
I expect a bit of Fantastical Racism: "There's nothing in the rule book that says a bunny rabbit cannot enforce the law."

Everything is a metaphor for race relations when you feel like stirring some dramas.

Well, the artwork is nice, but I was expecting a more medieval/medieval-fantasy setting then a Modern Day one. Maybe I've got Disney's Robin Hood on the brain when I think of "Disney" and "anthropomorphic animals/furries", but I would think that a more medieval setting would be neater and much more fitting for this. The modern day setting might lead to a more complicated conspiracy then a Medieval one could, but I'd still prefer that setting.
Still hope this film is good though.

Never really gave the medieval setting much thought. I wouldn't really go for it, especially since Robin Hood already did that, and one of our leads is a fox.
As long as it isn't another Chicken Little...
Darling.
This was an 'urban' setting from when we first about it, really.

... a fantasy/medieval one!? Have you read the press releases? They said it would be a cop comedy with guns!
This may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but I couldn't help but be disappointed when I read it would be all mammals. I thought the idea of a bunch of bird and reptile characters could be cool. 
Not only was Jason Batman officially confirmed as Nick Wilde (a fact I knew before Zootopia was officially announced) but so was Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps.
Has anyone seen her in Once Upon a Time or her other projects?
If that is the case, I can see it as a way to avoid Carnivore Confusion.

Is there anything else she's from? I never followed OUAT.
-reads- ah the Tinkerbell movies.
..... this movie seems to have a TON of television people on it! One of the directors and writers is the creator of Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero!

More news. "This animated film, which Lasseter describes as “classically Disney,” was inspired by the idea of a movie anchored by talking animals who act like humans a la “The Wind in the Willows.” Humans don’t exist in the city of Zootopia and animals are divided into classes, where they face prejudice based on preconceived notions about their species. The plot focuses on bunny cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) — sidelined into a boring career meter maid because she’s the first rabbit in the police force — who teams with a fox named Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) to crack a missing mammal case."
"One of the gags in the film, where Judy is stalled by an exchange with a sloth who works at the DMV, earned big laughs from the Cannes crowd (and landed with a bite that felt more Pixar than Disney). But the story is still a question mark: it could be great, or it could be something out of Disney Afternoon’s “Duck Tales” or “Darkwing Duck.""
.... that last sentence makes me a bit angry.
These were people sent to the Cannes Film Festival. Of course they are going to be snooty about 90s children's cartoons. 
Anyway, this is far from the only report on it, each revealing a bit of info that the others didn't bother to include.
Jason Bateman voices a sly con-artist Fox and Ginnifer Goodwin is the glass-half-full bunny who is the first of her kind to join the Zootopia Police Force. The two are forced to pair up to locate a missing mammal in less than 48 hours. Eliciting huge laughs was a scene in which the unlikely partners are rushing to get a run on a license plate, only to find the DMV is fully staffed by sloths. This one has a March 4, 2016 release.
Animals wear clothes and follow human routines. They flick through the Wall Street Gerbil or Entertainment Squeekly while they take their wildly different sizes of subway car to work. Natural enemies live side by side, and ingrained prejudice is rife. Judy (Ginnifer Goodwin) is the first bunny to join the Zootopolis police force. The old hands – buffaloes, elephants and rhinos – think she’s too fluffy for the job, so she gets consigned to traffic duty. Judy’s determined to break down the stereotypes about what a species should be, so when a twist of fate gifts her a missing persons case, she sets out, with a wily fox called Nick (Bateman), to prove the doubters wrong.
The clips Lasseter showed suggested Zootopia’s script’s a zinger, full of allusions to grownup left-field cop dramas (LA Confidential, Inherent Vice) and packed with sight gags – the population counter on the sign welcoming visitors to The Burrows, the suburb where the rabbits live, is automated and ticks steadily upward.
Another scene, still unfinished, showed Judy and Nick entering a club where animals have rejected clothes and decided to return to a “natural” way of life. “This is Disney animation’s first nude scene,” said Lasseter as Judy prudishly picked her way through the cavorting pigs, giraffes and bison. “It’s been a long time coming.”

I really want to strangle someone.

Yeah, that was snobbish as hell considering people look back on that stuff fondly.

If any of you been watching Penn Zero, I think it's a pretty good idea of the style of humor this movie is gonna have.
@The Guardian Link:
Furries are gonna love it. Disney don't understand just what they are about to unleash...
While I do hate the snobby attitude of that article lets not get too angry over said snotty and snobe tosh. I mean, nerds act really childishly over stuff like this, lets show that we are made out of better stuff.

I think a little indignation might be in order, although it could probably be overdone.
Who would we be showing that we're better than them, anyway?
Oh God! Natural light!

Um... me? Do it for me, guys.
shine on
so, in other words, a typical human DMV.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
It's not like most people eat the people they don't get along with. With animals, many times they don't get along BECAUSE some of them eat the others.
