Nick Wilde, a fast-talking fox from Disney’s next big hit, Zootopia, directed by Byron Howard ’90.

Animals, city planning and animal psychology? Are those the areas of emphases for a new program at Evergreen? No. It is what director Byron Howard ’90 had to study for his next Disney 3-D animated feature, Zootopia. How interdisciplinary!

Howard also directed such Disney hits as Bolt and Tangled. Watch this clip: Howard, along with producer Clark Spencer, and writer Jared Bush talk about “creating a world that no one has ever seen before.”

Byron mentions in the clip above that he grew up loving Robin Hood. Share your favorite childhood film in the comments below.
