All right, can you hear me?

There you are.

All right, jump in.

And it's a big deal.

I mean, it's a big family event.

I can send you the pictures of us drinking champagne when Zootopia won the Academy Award.

I mean, this is our lost daughter who is doing great.

I have two sons, and my sons were, I don't know, four and six.

And, you know, at that time you start thinking about, oh, what can I do creatively that my kids can relate to?

And so I came up in under interesting, very specific circumstances with the idea for Zootopia.

And I'll tell you, when I came up with the word Zootopia, I was elated and I ran into my house and I ran upstairs and I talked to my wife.

I said, you're not going to believe I've got the most incredible title.

I've got the most incredible idea.

It's called Zootopia.

And she said, oh, I don't know.

I don't think it's such a great idea.

I said, trust me, trust me.

It's a really good name.

In fact, we can't say this word in front of the kids.

Because if we say this word in front of the kids, they're going to go to school.
