Disney's Zootopia sequel has finally arrived, and while it may not live up to the original's groundbreaking charm, it's still a fun and entertaining ride. The film picks up nine years after the events of the first movie, with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde now officially partners at the Zootopia Police Department.
The story revolves around a case involving a lost part of the city, a nasty family of billionaire lynxes, and a sweet pit viper named Flash. As Judy and Nick delve deeper into the mystery, they're forced to confront their own prejudices and fears. However, unlike the original, this sequel doesn't quite capture the same nuance and depth, instead focusing on more lighthearted chases and animal puns.
While that might be a letdown for some viewers, particularly adults like myself who saw the first film with its iconic anti-racist messages, kids in the audience were still thoroughly enjoying themselves. The animation is colorful and diverting, if not as groundbreaking as it was a decade ago. The locations in this sequel are more generic and lack the immersive quality of the original's Rainforest District.
Despite some missteps, Zootopia 2 has a genuinely affectionate script that wants to see Judy and Nick succeed as three-dimensional animal cops. The film pays homage to classic noir while still having fun with its own brand of humor. While it may not have captured the same ephemeral magic as the original, it's still an enjoyable experience that teaches kids valuable lessons about acceptance and love.
Ultimately, Zootopia 2 is a predictable but pleasant sequel that will likely become another billion-dollar smash for Disney. As long as these lovable characters keep having something to say, I'm more than happy to join them on their next adventure. Your kids and theirs should be too.

I agree with you, the new Zootopia movie is still a fun ride! 
I mean, who doesn't love Judy and Nick's banter? 
The animation is so colorful and vibrant, it's like stepping into an animated wonderland! 
And I think it's great that they're teaching kids about acceptance and love through the story. 
It might not be as groundbreaking as the first one, but it's still a sweet sequel that'll delight both kids and adults alike! 
! The new animation is still super colorful and fun, but I have to agree that it's not as groundbreaking as the first one 
. I was hoping for more depth and nuance in the story, but I think they did a great job of teaching kids about acceptance and love 
. It's not perfect, but it's a predictable but pleasant sequel 
. My kiddo loved the animal puns and the chases were so much fun to watch 
!
idk about some ppl saying it's predictable tho i mean it's def a fun watch esp with the kiddos 
. Still, it's awesome to see Judy and Nick back on screen together 
. And hey, it's always great for kids to learn about acceptance and love 
. Can't wait for their next adventure! 
the original was a game changer, but sometimes it's just not possible to recapture that magic. don't get me wrong, it's still fun and family-friendly, but for this retiree, there's something missing - maybe its just the fact that kids aren't as young as they used to be 
. i loved how the sequel toned down the 'problems' with zootopia and just went for a lighthearted romp instead? yeah, that really feels like growth as a character... not at all.
. It's got its moments, don't get me wrong - the animation is still on point and the script has some genuinely sweet moments 
. Still, I guess that's just part of growing up... or in this case, part of being an animated movie 
. Kids are still gonna love it, though - they're always down for some cute animal cops and fun chases 
!
but then i thought about all the cute moments between judy and nick 
and it's still super fun! i love how they're tackling tough issues like prejudice & acceptance in a way that's relatable to kids 
and even though it might not be as groundbreaking as the first one, it's still a great message about love & empathy 
. I mean, who doesn't love Judy and Nick's banter? 
But as much as I appreciate the nostalgic value, I couldn't help but feel like it was all a bit too on-the-nose - you know, with its themes of acceptance and love being hammered home from every angle 
.
. Don't get me wrong, I think kids will love it - but for adults who saw the original with its groundbreaking messages? 
. I mean, who doesn't love Judy and Nick's antics? But for me, personally, it was like they lost some of that special spark that made the original so groundbreaking 
.
.
gotta say, it's still a fun ride but kinda lacking the depth of the first one 
what do you guys think about this sequel? 
. The jokes were cheesy, but the chases were still super fun 
! Judy & Nick are still my fave duos - love how they're always got each other's backs 
. And hey, at least they tried to tackle some real issues like prejudice and acceptance 
... even if it felt a bit watered down 
.
and we all had a blast! 
. I guess what I'm saying is, if you loved Zootopia 1 for its groundbreaking storytelling and messages, you might be a little disappointed here
