> The movie has managed to have different names in different regions
As an interview in digital production reveals, Zootopia was supposed to be the worldwide title. Then they ran into trademarks for that name outside of the US, so they re-titled it Zootropolis for Europe. Then they ran into another trademark for that in Germany, so it was re-titled there as Zoomania. Which is still supposed to be the name of the city, fairly unfortunate because it sounds like a disease.
I can't guarantee for the veracity of the claim - I only found a pet accessoire manufacturer under the name Zootopia, and I don't think that this precludes a same-sounding movie title, but I ain't a lawyer.
