Fox News Digital has published a review of Disney’s upcoming animated film, ‘Zootopia 2’, which is set to premiere in theaters during Thanksgiving weekend. The film stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, two animal detectives who continue their partnership in a world where anthropomorphic animals live in a bustling city. The story follows their journey as they face new challenges, including a mysterious journal linked to Zootopia’s founder, while navigating the complexities of their relationship and the pressures of their jobs. With a mix of humor and action, ‘Zootopia 2’ promises to be an entertaining film for both children and adults, with a voice cast that includes A-list celebrities.
The first installment of the Zootopia franchise, released in 2016, was a critical and commercial success, establishing a new world of anthropomorphic animals and a compelling storyline that resonated with audiences of all ages. The sequel continues this tradition, with familiar characters and new additions, including the actor-turned-mayor stallion Brian Winddancer and the conspiracy podcast-hosting beaver Nibbles Maplestick. The film also features a strong voice cast, with notable cameos from Andy Sandberg, Shakira, Josh Gad, June Squibb, Danny Trejo, Michael J. Fox, Mario Lopez, and Dwayne Johnson, adding to its appeal.
While ‘Zootopia 2’ does not break new ground, it is a solid sequel that maintains the charm and humor of its predecessor. The creative duo behind the film, Jared Bush and Byron Howard, have successfully crafted a film that appeals to both children and adults, incorporating cultural references and humor that will delight its audience. The film is rated PG for action/violence and rude humor, and with a runtime of 1 hour and 48 minutes, it is a family-friendly option for moviegoers. ‘Zootopia 2’ is expected to be a major release this holiday season, with audiences likely to enjoy the nostalgia and fun that the franchise has become known for.
The film is set for release in theaters on November 26, 2025, and will be available for streaming on Disney+ in the future. As a sequel to one of Disney’s most successful films, ‘Zootopia 2’ is poised to be a major player in the holiday movie market, offering a mix of entertainment and heart that will appeal to audiences of all ages.
