The sequel brings back the beloved buddy cop duo Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as they chase down a mysterious new resident shaking up the city.
The story follows Judy and Nick as they try to track down a reptilian newcomer named Gary De’Snake, played by Ke Huy Quan. The pair must go undercover and explore unexpected parts of Zootopia to solve the case.
According to Walt Disney Animation Studios, the film will dive into new neighborhoods and introduce audiences to a range of new characters, including Wind Dancer, a stallion who takes over as mayor, and the Linxleys, a wealthy family of lynxes. Other newcomers include Chevron, a goat police officer, and Marlon Grizzby, a grizzly bear officer.
The sequel will feature one of the largest voice casts in Disney Animation history. Returning stars include Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps, Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde, Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Jenny Slate as Dawn Bellwether, Bonnie Hunt and Don Lake as Judy’s parents, Tommy Chong as Yax, Alan Tudyk as Duke Weaselton, and Shakira as Gazelle.
New cast members include Fortune Feimster as Nibbles the beaver, Quinta Brunson as Dr. Fuzzby, Jean Reno as Bushron, and Maurice LaMarche reprising his role as Mr. Big. Patrick Warburton and Yvette Nicole Brown will voice Mayor Winddancer and EMT Otter/Bearoness Bea, while Macaulay Culkin, Brenda Song, and Wilmer Valderrama join in undisclosed roles.
Development on the sequel began years ago, with talks about a follow-up to the 2016 original starting as early as 2016. Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed active development in February 2023, and screenwriter Jared Bush, who co-directed the first film, took on directing and writing duties for the sequel.
Byron Howard, also a director of the original, returned as co-director, with Yvett Merino producing.
Ginnifer Goodwin expressed excitement about the sequel, saying, “I would like to see Nick have to be the one to convince Judy that the world is worth fighting for.” Jason Bateman added, “The two of us [Nick and Judy], kicking butts out there. Cleaning up the streets. We’re a couple of new cops out there. So, bad guys, be warned.”
