Disney's JUNGLE BOOK, ZOOTOPIA & More to Be Honored at the 20th Annual Hollywood Film Awards

dick clark productions announced today that Disney's acclaimed film "Zootopia" is set to receive the "Hollywood Animation Award," while "The Jungle Book" will receive the "Hollywood Blockbuster Award" at the 20th Annual Hollywood Film Awards.

The awards ceremony, celebrating its 20th anniversary as the official launch of the awards season, will be hosted by actor and comedian James Corden, and will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, on November 6, 2016. Over the past 20 years, The HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS have honored some of the most acclaimed films and actors, while its former recipients have included the world's biggest stars and more than 110 have gone on to garner Oscar nominations and/or wins.

In "Zootopia," citizens of all classes, sizes and species shed their biases and live in harmony. But when the utopian society is gripped by fear after an inexplicable rash of VICIOUS attacks, an unlikely partnership between a rookie cop and a charming con artist leads them to a shocking culprit.

The Jon Favreau-directed film "The Jungle Book" takes a live action spin on the animated and beloved original, starring Bill Murray, Sir Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong'o and newcomer, Neel Sethi. The all-star cast voices a visually stunning jungle of animals that leads Mowgli on a captivating journey of self-discovery.
