Shakira is joining the voice cast of upcoming Disney animated movie "Zootopia", the studio announced on Friday, August 14 at its D23 Expo. The "La La La" songstress will voice Gazelle, the biggest pop star in Zootopia. She will also perform a new original song titled "Try Everyting".

The movie will also feature voice performances from Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin. Jason stars as a fast-talking scam-artist fox named Nick Wilde while Ginnifer plays Judy Hopps, an upbeat bunny new to the police force.

The project is being directed by "Tangled" director Byron Howard and "Wreck-It Ralph" helmer Rich Moore and co-directed by Jared Bush. The script, written by Jared, is set in a modern mammal metropolis comprised of neighborhoods such as ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown.

The story centers on Nick and Judy who don't get along at first but must work together when he needs her help getting out of a jam as she's trying to crack a big case.

"Zootopia" is scheduled to be released in the U.S. on March 4, 2016.
