Zootopia 2 (2025)
Zootopia 2 is a 2025 animation movie directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, with a running time of 1h 48m. It stars Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman and Ke Huy Quan.
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde already cracked Zootopia's biggest case, and the sequel drops them into a fresh mess when a pit viper named Gary De'Snake turns the mammal city upside down. Framed and scrambling to clear their names, the rabbit cop and fox hustler go undercover in corners of town they have never seen, and their partnership takes real strain. Walt Disney Animation returns Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman to the leads, adds Ke Huy Quan and Andy Samberg, and keeps the bright, layered animal metropolis that made the first film a buddy-cop hit.

A few thoughts on Zootopia 2
Zootopia+ carries the world into a set of short TV episodes built around background characters from the movies, from the sloths at the DMV to Fru Fru's mob wedding. It is the most direct way to stay in this city once the sequel ends, and the obvious follow-on for anyone who came to the sequel first.
Animal cops and spies who crack the case together
Zootopia 2 keeps Judy and Nick working the same case as partners even when that partnership gets strained. Dog Man, Penguins of Madagascar, Spies in Disguise and Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon all put an unlikely animal, or half-animal, detective on the job, mixing real mystery-solving with broad, kid-friendly comedy.
Mismatched buddy comedies where opposites have to work together
Judy's straight-laced idealism and Nick's fast-talking hustle are still an odd fit even after they have proven the partnership works. The Other Guys and The Odd Couple II build entire comedies out of that same mismatch between two very different personalities forced to cooperate, while Scoob! and Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted send their own oddball crews on the run together.
Talking-animal worlds built for a big, chaotic ensemble
Zootopia 2 leans on its whole city, a metropolis zoned for every kind of mammal, for much of its comedy and world-building. The Secret Life of Pets 2, Smurfs: The Lost Village, Hitpig! and Open Season 2 all construct similarly packed animal ensembles, where sight gags and a rotating cast of species carry as much of the film as the plot does.
Books on the craft behind big studio animation
Zootopia 2 is the product of a deep, decades-old animation pipeline, and these books pull back the curtain on how that pipeline actually works. The Illusion of Life and The Animator's Survival Kit remain the field's core animation-principle texts, The Pixar Touch traces a rival studio's rise, and Acting for Animators breaks down how a character gets its performance.
