Plus, I’m pretty laid back, and my heart rate never really gets up pretty high. My mom is from England, and she gave me a lot of that dry British, sarcastic sense of humor, and that comes pretty easily to me. So I kind of know that and I’m pretty sarcastic and dry. I had to find out if he had any of the same traits as his Nick Wilde character. I saw little bit of Octavia Spencer in her character, and then I was, like wait a second… You should take a look at yours, too…Īnd then I did kind of see sort of these, these droopy eyes, and the general body language of it, and it was pretty cool. I started to see it a little bit in Ginnifer, with Judy Hopps… And I saw a little bit of it with JK Simmons with the lion. But it’s nice that I can reference it and well, you see how the lion there was being kinda nasty to the little badger… When asked if he knew the character of Nick Wilde was going to resemble him, he was adamant he knew nothing of their plans. It just kinda helps the medicine go down easy. …it’s helpful to have this tool of these characters that are talking about heady issues at times. Having those themes included in the film, and the way that the creators included those moments will make it easier to talk with younger kids when they want to discuss those themes in their own lives. He talked about the fact that Zootopia hits upon a few themes including bullying, racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and fear mongering. Zootopia is a fun, laugh out loud film that also includes a few serious underlying themes. ![]() When we asked about how it feels being part of a movie that he can actually watch with his family, Jason let us know that “it’s cool that I’m in a movie with a Disney logo in front of it.” As for his children, in their mind it feels like something good is going to come from a movie having that logo. Jason was honest, open, and graciously charming as we chatted about his new film. See what I did there? Sly fox and he’s a crooked fox in Zootopia? Not as funny when I have to explain it, right? But, I digress. Jason has one of the main roles in Zootopia and his character is this sly fox named Nick Wilde. It makes for a more relaxed atmosphere and sometimes more honest answers. The ones where you just get into a conversation and forget that you’re actually “interviewing” anyone. I have to say that those are my favorite interviews. I’m sure he was worried when he was put in this small room with ten women, but it honestly was so relaxed and just a casual conversation. That puts this interview in a special place for me because he’s been someone I’ve admired for a very long time. I have to say that I’ve followed Jason Bateman’s career for as long as I can remember and I’ve always been a fan. I had the pleasure of sitting down last week with Jason Bateman and discussing his role in the Disney’s animated film Zootopia. Photo Credit: Disney Jason Bateman as “Nick Wilde” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”), opens in theaters on March 4, 2016. ![]() 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 (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. ![]() 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. The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other.
