Zootopia 2 release date
Zootopia 2, the eagerly awaited follow-up to Disney’s Academy Award-winning 2016 animated hit Zootopia, is set to premiere in theaters on November 28, 2025.

Zootopia trailer: What is the movie about?
The trailer reintroduces Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) as full-time partners at the Zootopia Police Department, though cracks are starting to show in their teamwork. They end up in therapy with Dr. Fuzzby, a straightforward quokka voiced by Quinta Brunson, as Nick’s trust issues clash with Judy’s strong-willed nature.
Their personal struggles are put on hold when they’re assigned to track Gary De’Snake, a mysterious pit viper voiced by Ke Huy Quan, the first reptile to appear in Zootopia in years. His arrival stirs panic, despite his claims of visiting for family reasons. Chief Bogo (Idris Elba) makes it clear: if they fail, their partnership is over.
What to expect from the movie
Zootopia 2 is expected to further explore the bustling world of Zootopia, possibly unveiling new neighborhoods, featuring new animal characters, and addressing contemporary social themes with the same humour and emotional depth that made the first film a hit.
