  • Our review here: Zootopia 2 follows Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who first teamed up to crack a case that turned the city upside down. In this sequel (no spoilers!), the duo take on a fresh mystery and meet new animals and reptiles, including Gary, a blue-scaled pit viper voiced by Ke Huy Quan. The film also features an impressive cast.

    Shakira returns with a catchy new track, “Zoo” written by Shakira, Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin, that will have you dancing in your seat. Disney fans will love the clever references to other Disney films throughout the movie. Zootopia 2 touches on discrimination, mental health, and the importance of reaching out when things get overwhelming, an important message for all ages! We loved this brilliantly made, hilarious, and heartwarming sequel!”
