"Zootopia 2" Lands 2025 Release Date

Disney Boss Bob Iger announced Wednesday that "Zootopia 2" is hitting cinemas over the Thanksgiving break on November 26, 2025. 

The first movie was released in 2016 and was widely embraced for its stunning animation and its complicated themes of intolerance and bias and grossed more than $1 billion worldwide as well as winning the Best Animated Feature Oscar, beating out Disney’s own “Moana.” 

It followed Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), an idealistic bunny who travels to the mammal metropolis of Zootopia and winds up partnering with a sneaky criminal fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman). Together, they uncovered a conspiracy that threatened all of Zootopia.

“Zootopia” also inspired a series of Disney+ shorts, called “Zootopia+,” which were directed by Trent Correy and Josie Trinidad and were very funny. Also, an entire “Zootopia”-themed land just opened at Shanghai Disneyland, with a new, next-generation attraction called Zootopia: Hot Pursuit serving as the land’s centerpiece. 

Additional details about the hugely anticipated sequel have yet to be revealed.
