Animal lovers, rejoice: Disney's created our dream world!

It's called Zootopia, and as a sly, fast-talking fox voiced by Jason Bateman explains in a newly released teaser trailer for the animated flick, this is a place where "humans never happened!"

This people-free, entirely animal realm is modern and civilized. Bateman's fox of a character Nicke Wilde explains, too, that all of Zootopia's creatures are "anthropomorphic," which is "just a big fancy word that means you walk around on two feet!"

Zootopia's inhabitants "do not go to work nude"—so yes, put some pants and a button-down on that fox (the skinny tie isn't necessary, but it's adds an element of style). Zootopians even use technology, which enables mammals from all over the globe to be super-connected—sound familiar?

In any case, there are all kinds of animals in Zootopia—large and small, fast and slow. According to Nick the fox, Zootopia is a lot like the (human-containing) world we live in: It's not perfect, and not everyone gets along.

This fox's natural enemy? A bunny rabbit, of course, especially one in particular named Officer Judy Hopps. In this trailer, Miss Judy, who is voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin, is less than amused when Nick purposefully trips her and causes her to fall. She pulls her police badge on that sneaky fox, though, and it turns out she's got some tricks of her own!

"Nature always gives animals special skills to survive," Nick says. "And while one may have amazing night vision, another may have incredible hearing and an air-powered elephant tranquilizer." (Based on the dart sticking out that foxy booty, it seems some bunny has pretty good aim, too!)

Zootopia promises to be "like nothing you've seen be-fur" and hits theaters March 4, 2016.
