Disney’s ‘Zootopia’ Wins Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globe Awards were held Sunday night in Beverly Hills, with Walt Disney Animation Studio’s Zootopia taking home the award for best animated feature film.

Directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, the CG-animated Zootopia beat out LAIKA’s Kubo and the Two Strings, fellow Disney feature Moana, Swiss director Claude Barras’s My Life as a Zucchini, Illumination Entertainment’s Sing, and DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls.

To date, Zootopia has won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Animated Film and the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Animated Feature, and was recently named Film of the Year by the American Film Institute. Zootopia has also been nominated for 11 Annie Awards, including for outstanding achievement in writing, editorial, production design, character design, character animation, animated effects, and best animated feature.

Nominations for the Academy Awards will be announced on Tuesday, January 24, and -- as this year’s animated front-runner -- it’s a safe bet that Zootopia will be included among the nominees.
