Variety:

Rich Moore, who won an Academy Award for “Zootopia," will be joining Sony Pictures Animation to develop, produce, and direct original animated features.

Sony Pictures Animation, which made the announcement on Monday, said Moore will also be be available to act in an advisory capacity with ongoing feature film and series-based projects.

Wow, this is kind of a surprise.

I guess having a John Lassiter-esq role was the key to bring him over, but I figured Moore was Disney for life. I’d love to know the full story here.
