Premise: Flash and Priscilla go out to eat on their first date, much to the dismay of the restaurant’s wait staff.

We were treated to a broad overview of each short in the series. Adding to the complexity, each short also tackles a different style of film, which required a different approach to the cinematography of each story. While the concept was whittled down to 6 shorts, a magic number for Disney+ short-form content, the rest of it has remained the same. The original pitch for Zootopia+ was 10 shorts, all of which were set during a different moment of the film Zootopia, intersecting with key story moments. He hadn’t officially met Josie Trinidad yet, since the studio is so big, but he was a fan of her work and thought she would be perfect for the role, considering how involved she was with Zootopia. But to take on a series of shorts, he was going to need a little help. Having directed the short “Drop” through the Short Circuit program, Trent was well-prepared to tackle Once Upon a Snowman (original title: “Olaf Picks His Nose”), which reunited him with the character he was an animation supervisor on. Zootopia+ is the brainchild of Trent Correy, who pitched the project during an open pitch meeting for content for Disney+.
