‘Zootopia 2’ Trailer: Disney Sequel Introduces New Animals

The teaser trailer for “Zootopia 2” has been released, and Judy and Nick are back in investigation mode.

Ginnifer Goodwin (“Once Upon a Time”) and Jason Bateman (“Ozark”) return to their animated roles as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, respectively, alongside a cast of new animal characters. In the sequel, Judy and Nick put their detective skills to use as they tackle another case. The original “Zootopia” followed bunny cop Judy and con-artist fox Nick as they solved a missing animals case.

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” star Ke Huy Quan joins the cast as the snake Gary, as the “Zootopia” world expands to include reptiles and other semi-aquatic creatures.

In the teaser trailer, Nick, Judy, and Gary are seen being chased by police through various districts of Zootopia. Along the way, they encounter a mysterious hooded figure with glowing eyes.

The teaser then cuts to a montage of both familiar and new characters, including Nibbles the beaver (voiced by Fortune Feimster) and Dr. Fuzzby, a quokka therapist (Quinta Brunson).

Shakira also reprises her role as the singer Gazelle, who sang “Try Everything” in the first film. “Gazelle is back and she’s got a new look, a new song and, of course, new dance moves. Just wait until you see what she and her tiger dancers have been working on,” Shakira said in a video at the D23 Brazil expo last year.

The sequel was written and directed by Jared Bush. The original 2016 film, directed by Rich Moore and Byron Howard, made over $1 billion globally and won an Oscar for best animated feature film as well as a Golden Globe for best animated film. The anthropomorphic animal universe has also expanded through the miniseries “Zootopia+” on Disney+.

“Zootopia 2” releases on Nov. 26.
