Cross-media recommendations across film, TV, games, books & music — picked by taste.
Zootopia 2 drops Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde into a fresh conspiracy — a pit viper named Gary De'Snake turns the animal metropolis upside down, and the two officers go undercover through unfamiliar parts of the city while trying to clear their names. At its core it's a story about an unlikely partnership pushed to its limits: the cautious optimist and the streetwise cynic forced to trust each other under pressure. The picks below share that combination of urban mystery, anthropomorphic world-building, and a duo whose friction is also their strength.
Zootopia 2 is a 2025 American animated buddy cop comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and the sequel to Zootopia (2016).

The film follows Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as they pursue a pit viper named Gary De'Snake across Zootopia and try to clear their names after being framed.
