Zootopia 2 After 10 Years
All right, after nearly 10 years, we have ourselves Zootopia 2. I don’t know, at a point it just stops being on your bingo card. But hey, it’s here. Furries, your prayers have been answered. Let’s talk about it.
So, Zootopia 2 once again follows Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. They’re working together on the force. They are the underdogs.
I mean, you know, again, long story short, a Snake voiced by Ke Huy Quan shows up. Questions are raised by Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps because, you know, they’re the underdogs.

Again, no one else is going to listen to him, so it’s up to our duo to get to the bottom of a mystery. That is a dark history of Zootopia. Expose the ones who profit from it.
Judy & Nick Dynamic
And yeah, starting out, our duo, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, they’re great. Again, they just play off each other so well as polar opposites that I mean, are they dating? Are they not? Are they romantically together?
They don’t have romantic moments, per se, but they do come across as absolute soulmates. You know, as Rocky said, they fill gaps. I mean, he didn’t say that about Zootopia, but you know,
She’s the lawful, good, ambitious underdog. He’s the snarky, sarcastic, care-free one who deep down we all know he does care.
The snappy dialogue between the two, the punchy animation, it makes for a really fun character adventure, be it about two characters in particular.
New Characters & Puns
This movie does have new characters that come into the fold. Some stand out more than others.
The movie is also chocked full with animal puns and movie references. The animal puns, I mean, you know, who doesn’t like a good dad joke?
But that’s what Zootopia really lends itself to is throwing animals into the mix knowing they don’t really play well together like in the world. But how would that look in a say work capacity?
Solid movie references in this movie too. I mean your kids are not going to get all of them. Kind of took me back to Aladdin how the genie just had these references that I didn’t get as a kid.
My parents are over there laughing. I’m like what? What?
Classic Zootopia Formula
I mean this is absolutely a Zootopia story. I guess we can call it that now. Now that this is a second one.
Couple of polar opposite underdogs get together, work together to expose the hidden corruption, right? I guess that’s just what Zootopia is.
I mean, granted, it’s been nearly 10 years. Maybe that’s the move. Cuz when Avatar Way of Water came out, couldn’t help but see the original Avatar beats in there also.
Maybe this is just what Zootopia is. When Zootopia 3 comes out, we’ll all know it’s a couple of polar opposite underdogs who get together to expose the corruption.
Sequel Quality Assessment
Zootopia 2. Is it a sequel that’s forced? Inspired? More of the same? It’s kind of that third one, which doesn’t make it bad.
And yes, we have our commentary in this movie, too. I mean, this movie’s plot is how Zootopia was built by screwing over a certain group of animals. There are those who profit off of that.
I mean, granted, it’s pretty much this meme, but Zootopia.
Social Commentary Balance
Here’s the thing, though. The Simply Said is not annoying about it. There are many movies out there with social, political, racial commentary, and sometimes it’s like,
great, were you going to have a movie with this message or is is this just it?
With Zootopia, it mixes really well with the film. It doesn’t feel like the conversation in the room at the studio was like
a film with social, political, racial commentary. Our analysts say that’ll track really well on Twitter, I must say. Great. Who should we get to write it?
Write the script, you mean? Well, yeah. We need a plot, characters, dialogue, something binding it together. Oh, that’s far too much work. Just take a few tweets as an example. Put something on screen that will go viral. Yes. Okay.
That is to say, Zootopia does a solid job at creating the balance. It’s not some social commentary piece in which kids are going to be lost or bored,
but it’s not a surface level animation that’ll just entertain your four-year-old while you’re there bored to tears.
It gives something a little deeper for the adults to chew on, but also the animated adventure itself is going to entertain the kids. Heck, the animated adventure itself is going to entertain you as well.
Movie Strengths
It is what a Zootopia movie is:
- A fun mystery caper
- Interesting characters
- Solid character growth
- Twists and turns
- Great animation
The animation in this movie is solid. I get that animation takes different forms. At a point, it it feels like there are a lot of animations that look like someone hit render and halfway through and okay, stop.
I like an animation that feels vibrant, complete, like there’s a competitive market out there. It recognizes it, knows it has to stand out,
and this movie had solid moments of tension.
Runtime & Recommendation
Zootopia 2 is a bit long. It’s about an hour 50 minutes or so. I feel like closer to 90 minutes would be more in the pocket.
But regardless, I had myself a really good time with Zootopia 2. No alcohol required.
If you’re looking for a family time out at the movies, maybe after Thanksgiving dinner or this weekend, Zootopia 2 is a pretty solid choice.
It’s a pretty reliable animated crowd-pleaser.
Final Thoughts & Call to Action
All right, so Zootopia 2. Have you seen it? What did you think about it? or what are you getting for Black Friday this year?
Come on, let’s be honest. We all know you are. You’re getting something.
