Join us for a special preview of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ upcoming comedy-adventure, Zootopia. Following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois, all D23 Members are invited to see the film the day before its release! The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. 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.

Afterward, a limited number of D23 Gold and Gold Family Members will have the opportunity to join us for the “D23 Dessertopia” complimentary reception. This is a great opportunity to mix and mingle with fellow Disney fans!

Stay tuned for details on an exclusive D23 Event the following day in celebration of Walt Disney’s birthplace. Space is very limited – more details forthcoming.

Zootopia opens across the country March 4, 2016.
