Shanghai Disney Resort says this will be the second major expansion of Shanghai Disneyland, since its opening in June 2016.

Zootopia will be the eighth themed land at Shanghai Disneyland, the world's newest Disney park, and the first-ever Zootopia-themed land at any Disney park worldwide.

Shanghai Disneyland added the Disney-Pixar Toy Story Land last year.

An official with the company says the rapid rate of expansion at Shanghai Disney Resort demonstrates their confidence and commitment to the company's future development in China.

The development of the Zootopia-themed land follows on the success of the animated movie in China, where it broke box office records to become the country's No. 1 all-time highest-grossing animated feature film.
