The Wonderful World of Disney: Zootopia—Monday, May 30, at 8 p.m. ET, on ABC
The city of Zootopia is a buzzing metropolis with mammals ranging from the enormous elephants to the smallest shrew—and yoga-practicing yaks. Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) makes history as the first rabbit to join the Zootopia police force, but despite her impressive feat her fellow officers remain unimpressed due to her small stature. Determined to prove them all wrong, Judy takes the lead on a case after several Zootopia residents disappear. She turns to an unlikely ally, a sly fox named Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman), to crack the case.
