With two months to go until the November 7th debut of Zootopia: Better Zoogether, crews have begun the installation of the attraction’s marquee. The new entrance (and signage) is in the same spot as the former It’s Tough to be a Bug attraction on Discovery Island. Here’s a look at the latest progress from our visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning!
‘Zootopia: Better Zoogether’ Marquee Installation
From what I can see, it doesn’t look like the actual marquee is in place yet. Instead, it looks like the support structure is currently being finalized before the sign and theming arrive. Here’s a closer look at what I mean.
If we turn our attention to the back of the sign, we can see the support structure, with rebar still being put in place. There are no indications that an actual sign has been installed yet, but I imagine that it will be installed in the coming days, or perhaps, in a week or two.
Zootopia: Better Zoogether! brings some of our favorite stars to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park from the Walt Disney Animation Studios films Zootopia and Zootopia 2, including your favorite ZPD rookie cops, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.
When you migrate over to the Tree of Life Theater, you’ll find you arrived just in time to the main stage for the Zoogether Day festivities with familiar furry faces and new friends, like Heidi Howler – a slick-talking wolf who hosts the Zoogether Day LIVE! broadcast with excitement, energy, and quite a bit of howling.
Zoogether Day, a celebration of unity amongst the diverse biomes across the city, will be recognized with special performances such as ice-skating spectaculars from the heart of Tundratown! Synchronized swimming direct from Marsh Market! Tiny mouse drone shows soaring over Little Rodentia! And of course, a musical finale by superstar Gazelle – all of which we’ll see from the livestream watch party.
With talented cast from the films like Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman returning to lend their voices to these beloved characters, and contributions from filmmakers Jared Bush (who helped write the script) and Byron Howard (who directed the animation – all of which was done by the talented artists at Disney Animation) working closely with the Walt Disney Imagineering team to bring the attraction to life, Zootopia: Better Zoogether! brings us all deeper into the beautiful world of the animal metropolis explored in the original Zootopia as well as the new feature, Zootopia 2, coming to theaters November 26.
