Zootopia 2 (2025) – A Bigger City, Deeper Secrets, and a Wilder Chase

Disney returns to the mammal metropolis in Zootopia 2, a vibrant, witty, and surprisingly timely sequel that expands the world of the original, delving deeper into its social commentary and story arcs. Directed once again by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, this sequel proves that the city of predators and prey still has plenty of stories to tell and mysteries to solve.

Set three years after the events of the first film, Zootopia 2 features Officer Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and her partner Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), now a full-fledged officer, as rising stars in the Zootopia Police Department. But when a series of high-tech heists threatens to destabilize the city, the duo is forced to team up with an unexpected new recruit: a cunning Arctic fox hacker named Vex (voiced by Ayo Edebiri).

What follows is a thrilling detective adventure that takes viewers beyond the familiar districts and into the heart of Zootopia, including Steel Claw Industrial Park and the mysterious Skyburrow, a floating district ruled by owls. As they uncover a plot to control animal behavior through artificial intelligence, Judy and Nick must grapple with questions of free will, trust, and who calls the shots in a supposedly egalitarian society.

The animation is stunning, with more dynamic lighting, weather effects, and an even greater variety of species and environments. The humor is sharp, the action fast-paced, and the dialogue crisp, but it’s the film’s ability to weave serious themes into family-friendly fun that truly sets it apart.

Rating: 8.7/10
Smart, heartwarming, and visually stunning, Zootopia 2 builds on the original with wit and purpose. The city is bigger. The stakes are higher. And the heart? It’s still in the right place.
