Linda Barnard,

I recently read your Reel Brief from this month and thought you’d enjoy a change from review to interview with the star of Disney’s new animation, Zootopia. I suggest a feature story on Ginnifer Goodwin who plays the lead character, Judy Hopps.

Ginnifer Goodwin plays a determined bunny in the animated feature film, and Walt Disney Studios Canada would like you to interview Goodwin after the press screening. Goodwin has starred in Once Upon a Time, Something Borrowed and He’s Just Not That Into You.

As a movie writer and film critic, adding this interview with Goodwin to your repertoire would appeal to your Toronto Star audience. I believe your readers would be inspired by her character, story and the films messages. Also an interview with the lead of Zootopia, which will likely be an early favourite for Best Animated Feature at the 2017 Oscars, ties into a great future story for you that builds upon your past awards coverage.

Zootopia opens in theatres on March 4, 2016.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you,
