On June 7, the Disney animation, Zootopia will be available on Bluray, DVD and Digital HD. And with the release of the hit movie, we got the chance to talk to one of the animators, Jorge E. Ruiz Cano and Raymond S. Persi, a story artist at Disney, who did the voice of “Flash” the Sloth. And we also spoke to two of the film directors, Rich Moore and Byron Howard.

A shot from my Zootopia press day and first fun voice over job, it was very cool!
And we finished up the day by trying out a little voice over. You can watch all the video interviews below including the trailer.
Zootopia is a fun film—it is funny with an interesting twist. It also has a wonderful message, that is, don’t let others keep you down, keep going forward, follow your dreams. Plus I think Judy Hopps may be small, but she kicks ASS! — A.O.
