WATCH: Disney Unveils Deleted Scenes from ‘Zootopia’

Disney unveils two deleted scenes in celebration of the home entertainment release of global box office hit ‘Zootopia.’

In celebration of today’s home entertainment release of Zootopia, Disney has unveiled two deleted scenes from the CG-animated comedy/adventure from Walt Disney Animation Studios that became the fourth animated feature to cross the $1 billion mark at the global box office this past weekend.

Available starting today on Digital HD, Blu-ray, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand, Zootopia takes place in the animal-filled city of the same name as it follows optimistic Officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin). She discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery.

The home entertainment release comes packed with a ton of extras including candid conversations with filmmakers and artists behind Zootopia, an alternate opening, never-before-seen characters and a total of seven deleted scenes along with a sneak peek at some of the hidden Easter Eggs that make reference to Disney Animation’s most beloved films and characters.

Check out the deleted scenes, with introductions by Zootopia directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore, below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together -- a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.
