Zootopia 2 (2025)

[Britnasty]

FINA-F*CKING-LLY!!!

Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that three animated sequels for Toy Story, Frozen and Zootopia are in the works on today’s Q1 earnings call.

“Today I’m so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation studios to some of our most popular franchises, Toy story, Frozen and Zootopia. we’ll have more to share about these productions soon. but this is a great example of how we’re leaning into our unrivaled brands and franchises,” said Iger today.

The news came in the wake of some sour news, read a $5.5 billion cost savings by the conglomerate across all divisions and 7K jobs getting cut at Disney.

The last three installments of each of those animated franchises were huge global grossing hits on the big screen, read Frozen 2 ($1.45 billion), Pixar’s Toy Story 4 ($1.07 billion) and Zootopia ($1.02 billion).

Franchise sequels work, duh. Unfortunately, Disney’s original films of late have been low grossers, i.e. Strange World tanked with under $74M WW and was fast-tracked onto Disney+ close to a month after its theatrical release. Encanto, released at Thanksgiving 2021, did just over $256M WW, and only $96M stateside, but it was at a time when families were just making their way back to theaters after Covid. The pic was a huge hit on Disney+ reportedly.

Hell yeah. The first is legit one of my favorite neo-noirs.

Zootopia was great and a sequel makes sense. There’s a lot of biomes and animals that could be explored in this world.

Hope they don't muck it up. The original is a gem.

Jared Bush confirmed to be returning to the sequel in some capacity

Hell yeah. First movie is excellent. Looking forward to this!

Well now Judy and Nick have to become a couple so we can have a "mixed species relationship".

I feel like zootopia would have made a good tv series though disney does seem to have a hard time making high quality tv series on a budget.

This is Modern Disney. They already mucked up Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks The Internet.

I can't believe it took them so long.

[Dragon78]

I love Incredibles 2 though I agree about Ralph Breaks The Internet.

Yeah, wish they did a Zootopia 2 years ago.

I am more surprised we didn't get a Big Hero 6 sequel....I couldn't get into the TV series.

Incredibles 2 was better than the original

Not even close and I'm not even in the camp that thinks the first was one of the greatest Disney/Pixar releases.

They sorta did one already (which sadly didn't really feature the lead characters much):

Hope they knock this one out of the park. The original was a very pleasant surprise.

I wonder if amphibians, birds, fish, and reptiles in this world are just animals or intelligent like the mammals.

Incredibles 2 is great, and it’s Pixar, so that’s irrelevant. But, Zootopia is also modern Disney, so I don’t even know what that means.

A new challenger approaches.

Incredibles 2 suxed man. Years of anticipation and that's what we got??

That and Ralph 2 proves Disney cannot do highly anticipated sequels at all.

See, that's the problem. You let your high anticipation get in the way of judging the movie on purely its own merits.

[Dragon78]

I hope this movie will have a good detective story....well a good story in general.
