Jared Bush and Phil Johnston wrote “Zootopia.” They told reporters that it started out as a spy movie set in several different animal worlds. But they found the mammal world especially interesting. So they changed the story.Bush and Johnston said building the imaginary world took a lot of research. They both spoke about it to the website Inside the Magic.

杰拉德·布什和費爾·約翰斯頓是《瘋狂動物城》的編劇。他們在接受記者采訪時說，本片最初的設定本來是幾個不同的動物世界之間的間諜片。但是他們發現哺乳動物的世界非常有趣。所以他們改了劇本。布什和約翰斯頓說，構建一個虛幻的世界要做很多探索。在接受“魔力之中”網站采訪時，他們都談到了這一點。

Bush said they asked themselves, “What’s this world like? What’s the history of this world?” And then, he said, they went to the experts.

布什說，他們問自己，“這個世界是什么樣的?這個世界的歷史是怎樣的?”他說，然后他們就去尋求專家幫助了。

The writers spoke with people who study culture and group behavior, as well as those who study the psychology of individuals. And they talked with animal experts like zookeepers.

編劇們采訪了研究文化和群體行為的人以及研究個體心理的人。他們也采訪了動物園管理員這樣的動物專家。

《瘋狂動物城》導演拜倫·霍華德說，這個發現幫助構建了電影的主題——在一個多樣世界里的偏見和包容。

The creators have noted that that diversity was not easy to produce in drawings. There are 64 species represented in the movie. There are multiple neighborhoods that represent the different environments of animal habitats.

電影的主創們說，這種多樣性很難用繪畫藝術表現出來。在電影中有64種動物。電影中有代表不同動物棲息地環境的不同街區。

Disney says “Zootopia” is its most complex animation yet. The extra effort is certainly paying off at the box office.

迪士尼稱《瘋狂動物城》是其目前為止最復雜的動畫片。額外的努力確實換來了高票房的回報。
