Zootopia – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack accompanies the 2016 animated film Zootopia, directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore. The original score was composed by Michael Giacchino, known for his work on The Incredibles, Up, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Giacchino’s music blends orchestral jazz, playful motifs, and thematic textures to reflect the bustling, diverse city of Zootopia, its anthropomorphic characters, and the film’s mix of comedy, adventure, and mystery.
The soundtrack album was released March 4, 2016 via Walt Disney Records. It contains 22 original score tracks running approximately 67 minutes and is available on digital platforms including Apple Music and Spotify. A vinyl edition was later released for collectors.
Giacchino’s score incorporates bright, playful orchestration with rhythmic percussion, balancing action sequences, comedic moments, and emotional character arcs. The music emphasizes Zootopia’s energetic urban environment and the dynamic interplay between Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and supporting characters.
Licensed music note: The film also features contemporary songs such as “Try Everything” by Shakira, used in key narrative moments, but these tracks are not included on the official score album.
