Sly Cooper and Spark, which don't currently have release dates, but which are still listed as "2016 releases" on IMDB, plus the Ratchet and Clank movie, which a. which was originally listed as a 2016 release, b. is now supposed to come out this year according to IMDB, but, c. still also doesn't have a release.
Spark is from the Nut Job studio, and if 2 is coming out in January, Spark will probably be late 2016 or bumped to 2017. Meanwhile, Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank both have the same director, so no idea how that's actually working out. And actually, all three of these movies could possibly drop out of theatrical and go to "straight to video".
I commented on the Zootopia piece that there have been approximately 10 movies released theatrically in America that fulfill Zootopia's three advertised unique features (which of course means they are not actually unique, but nobody expects truth in advertising): no humans, bipedal stance, clothes. Admittedly, there are a lot more movies that fulfill the second and third while failing the first part (Rango and Fantastic Mr. Fox spring to mind, but that's just my favorites), while, the really weird one is The Lion King, which may be the only theatrically released American movie that fulfills the "no humans" requirement but not the other two.
Of course, that's not counting foreign language films, which would add quite a few, though probably still not quite that many; I think the earliest would be the German stop-motion Tale of the Fox.
