Disney is working on a new animated movie called Zootopia which features a city of all different kinds of animals living together. Each part of the city is specific to the varying needs of the different types of animals who call it home. The story will follow a rabbit, Officer Judy Hopps, who joins a police force of larger, stronger animals. To prove herself she teams up with a scam-artist fox to solve a mystery. Zootopia will open in theaters March 4, 2016.
Here is concept art featuring the fox Nick Wilde: (Disney)
And here is art of the city: (Disney)
I am excited to see more actual art as the movies gets closer to release!
Middle of the week. Middle of the week! Middle of the week?
!WHEEK! !WHEEK! Sorry, but the human forgot to give us tomatoes today and that is unacceptable. Never mind that she explained there are not any in the house, that is a typical human excuse!
Well, time again for a Wednesday Woof no matter how much we would rather have tomatoes.
Today we feature a Shiba Inu with adorable black sock markings:
Today is Earth Day! Did you do anything to celebrate?
In honor of the day here is a beautiful fox:

How does this picture relate to Earth Day? Well, it is a wild creature which we should help preserve and it is curled up in a round shape like the Earth! Yeah, that is it. Who needs an excuse to post such a cute picture anyways?
Also, don’t forget that if you go to see Disneynature’s Bears this week Disney will donate money in your honor to the National Park Foundation!
I saw Bears and it was really good! Brown Bears are powerful creatures and Disney does a great job of story telling even with wild subjects. The footage during the credits showing some of how the film makers do their work is well worth watching as well.
Disneynature’s next movie in theaters in time for next years Earth Day will be Monkey Kingdom. A movie about a troupe of monkeys which live in ancient ruins in the jungles of South Asia.
HyperVocal recently posted an article called “Let Mother Nature’s Most Pleasing Animal Noises Be Your Xanax.” While I am not sure I agree with their list, and some of the noises might be made in distress, there are some great noises on the list. I will present some of the videos and link to the article again at the end so you can see the entire list.
1. Bunny Snoring
For the longest time I did not know bunnies made noises except when in great distress because the only time I heard one was the piercing scream of a wild rabbit as it tried to escape from a cat. This video just makes me smile!
2. Fox
These noises are cute, but I know nothing of normal fox behavior and it looks like this is a display of submission. My final verdict is out on this one because of that but it is interesting to listen to.
3. Owl
The owl is so happy to be having his head scratched!
4. Penguin
I posted this video before, but it is just too cute to not share again!
5. Guinea Pig
I know that I am biased because I love guinea pigs but they make adorable noises especially when happy or demanding treats/attention.
