LOL: ‘Zootopia’ Gives The Best Films Of 2015 Animal-Centric Makeovers
Like everyone else in the known universe, the citizens ofZootopiaare putting together their “best of 2015” lists. But because they live in a city founded, run, and populated entirely by animals, their favorite movies don’t include titles likeStar Wars: The Force AwakensorEx MachinaorStraight Outta Compton. Instead, they’re fans ofStar Wars: The Furce Awakens,Straight Otter Zootopia, andEx Yakina.
It’s an obvious gag, but it’s pretty cute. And it’s a nice lighthearted change of pace from all the arguments currently breaking out over the recent SAG and Golden Globe nominations, and all the arguments that will soon be breaking out over the PGAs, the DGAs, the Oscars, and so on and so forth for the next three months. See the new Zootopia posters after the jump.
Zootopiaunveiled its “best films of 2015” list on itsofficial website. The posters are part of a “Countdown to Zoo Year’s Eve” campaign that will culminate in a “Zoo Year’s Eve surprise.”
Above are films #1-6. Also on the list, but sadly without accompanying images, areAvengers: Age of Bulltron,Pig Hero 6, andPitch Purrfect 2. The corporate synergy is strong with this one. Human critics are still waiting to seeStar Wars: The Force Awakens, but Zootopian reviewers have apparently already seen its animal-centric counterpart. AndBig Hero 6didn’t even come out this year in the human world, but apparently it did in Zootopia because Disney would like to remind you thatZootopiais from the same studio. Kudos on theEx Yakinapick, though.
Disney has also issued a new poster for a real movie that they would probably love to see land on some “best of 2016” lists next year.
If you dug that,Zootopiaalso has a “best of 2015” list up forthe year in music, and is promising upcoming lists for “top travel destinations” and “top entertainers.”
