Disney Drops Zootopia 2 Trailer

Disney kept us waiting an awful long time to show us anything from the sequel to Zootopia (a.k.a. Zootropolis). In fact, it's been just short of a decade since the original was released. The teaser trailer finally arrived in May, and did not disappoint. Now, the first full trailer has arrived. 

In Zootopia 2, unlikely partners Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are coming off cracking the biggest case in Zootopia's history. But their partnership may not be as solid as they thought when Chief Bogo orders them to join the Partners In Crisis counselling program. But it's not long until their partnership is put to the ultimate test when they find themselves investigating a mystery tied to the arrival of a venomous snake to the city.

The sequel introduces several new characters, including snake Gary De'Snake (voiced by Ke Huy Quan)  Nibbles (Fortune Feimster) and quokka therapist Dr. Fuzzby (Quinta Brunson), it also features a veritable menagerie of characters returning from the first film. 

“It’s been an absolute joy to reteam with so many actors who made the first film so special, and so exciting to expand the world with our phenomenal new cast members,” said director/writer Jared Bush (chief creative officer for Walt Disney Animation Studios). “I can’t wait for audiences to see what other surprises we have in store in this brand-new adventure.”

Returning characters alongside Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) include Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), Mr Big (Maurice LaMarche), Gazelle (Shakira), Bellwether (Jenny Slate) and of course, Flash (Raymond S. Persi).

Also starring are Bonnie Hunt (voice of Bonnie Hopps), Don Lake (voice of Stu Hopps), Nate Torrence (voice of Clawhauser), Alan Tudyk (voice of Duke Weaselton), Leah Latham (voice of Fru Fru), Josh Dallas (voice of Frantic Pig), Tommy Chong (voice of Yax) and Mark Rhino Smith (voice of Officer McHorn).

Zootopia 2 is directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, and written by Jared Bush. It's executive produced by Bush and Jennifer Lee, and produced by Yvett Merino. The music is composed by Michael Giacchino, reprising his role from the first film.
