Today at D23 Expo, Zootopia
director Byron Howard and Rich Moore, along with producer Clark Spencer
announced that Shakira had officially joined the voice cast of the upcoming
animated movie, and revealed that she will be playing Gazelle, "the
biggest pop star in Zootopia". The trio introduced the Grammy-winning
artist via a video, and offered those attending a glimpse of Try Everything,
Shakira's song for the project.
This is a first for
the Colombian singer, who previously worked on the soundtracks for a few TV
shows including Silicon Valley, and Pretty Little Liars.
Shakira joins
Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, and Alan Tudyk.
"This rabbit-and
fox-duo are in practically every scene in the film together. After meeting
Ginnifer, we knew she embodied Hopps, the ultimate pure-of-heart, idealist
bunny," Howard said of the lead actors and characters. "You fall in
love with her [Goodwin’s] character instantly. And for Nick Wilde, our cynical
con-artist fox, we only ever had one actor in mind, the incomparable Jason
Bateman. Jason has a way of saying the most hilarious sarcastic things while
always staying completely charming. We feel so fortunate to be working with
both of them."
Zootopia opens on
March 4, 2016.
