Only one word can describe today’s edition of Movie Morsels: animalistic. That’s because we’ve got a brand new clip from Zootopia, an update on Jurassic World 2, the latest trailer for Angry Birds, and even a clip from Hugh Jackman‘s Sundance fave Eddie the Eagle (which isn’t really about an eagle, but just humor me with this one).

Also featuring the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Shakira, and J.K. Simmons, Â Zootopia opens on March 4.

Angry Birds
Last but not least today… Okay, let’s be honest, it might be least. But there’s at least some potential in the new trailer for the film adaptation of the video game Angry Birds, directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly, and featuring the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, and Bill Hader.
