Zootopia 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Disney’s 2016 hit Zootopia, is set to be released in theaters on November 26, 2025. Directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, the sequel will once again follow the dynamic duo of Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) as they navigate new mysteries in the diverse, bustling world of Zootopia. With the first film’s massive success and a dedicated fan base, Disney is eager to continue the story and bring more of the animal-filled city to life.
The budget for Zootopia 2 is expected to be around $175–200 million, reflecting the high production values associated with modern Disney animation. Given the success of the original film, which grossed over $1 billion worldwide, the studio is likely to invest significantly in both cutting-edge animation and a compelling storyline. The world of Zootopia is rich in visual detail, and the sequel is expected to push the boundaries of animation technology even further, creating new environments, characters, and scenarios that continue to engage audiences.
The release date for Zootopia 2 is set for November 26, 2025, making it a prime holiday season release. Disney has a strong track record of releasing successful animated sequels, and with the critical and commercial success of the first Zootopia, expectations are high for the sequel. The first film received widespread acclaim for its clever social commentary, humor, and heart, making it a box office phenomenon and winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Given its predecessor’s achievements, Zootopia 2 is poised for success, with Disney’s signature blend of humor, adventure, and important messages. Fans are eager to see where Judy and Nick’s next adventure will take them, ensuring the film will be a major event in 2025.
