Bluewater changes name to Zoowater as Disney celebrates Zootropolis
For the first time ever, Bluewater has rebranded and will be known as Zoowater in a landmark collaboration with The Walt Disney Company to celebrate the upcoming release of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootropolis 2. The centre’s iconic logo, which features a horse, has also been reimagined as a character from the film.
Along with the name change, one of the centre’s escalators has been transformed into a fully functioning Zootropolis 2-themed slide and a statue of one of the film's new characters, Russ the Walrus, has appeared in one of Bluewater’s lakes. Families have the opportunity to explore colourful pop-ups and discover quirky surprises and interactive touchpoints featuring the film’s dynamic duo, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps.
The Zoowater takeover – the first time in Bluewater’s history it has adopted a rebrand – is visible across key entry points in the lead up to the film’s release, including the Wintergarden entrance, six main road arches, and four internal locations, as well as across digital and social media channels.
The 2-week rebrand, which began on 17th November, also sees Bluewater’s iconic horse logo reimagined as Mayor Winddancer, a new stallion character from Zootropolis 2.
In Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootropolis 2, rookie cops Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) find themselves on the twisting trail of a great mystery when Gary De’Snake (voice of Academy Award® winner Ke Huy Quan) arrives in Zootropolis and turns the animal metropolis upside down.
The Zootropolis 2-themed slide replaces Bluewater’s Thames Walk escalator from 17th - 23rd November, offering guests a fun and memorable way to take part in the celebrations. It will operate daily, with a height restriction of 1.2m*, and can be found between Boots and LEGO.
