Subj : Zootopia 2 trailer teases what might be the weakest Disney movie To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Thu Jul 31 2025 16:00:08 Zootopia 2 trailer teases what might be the weakest Disney movie storyline in years, but Im even more furious about another massive missed opportunity Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 14:58:32 +0000 Description: The first trailer for Zootopia 2 has dropped, and the storyline is more predictable than anything Disney has done in years. Not only that, the studio has missed a huge opportunity. FULL STORY ====================================================================== The Zootopia 2 trailer has given us our first look at Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wildes (Jason Bateman) next adventure almost a decade after the original movie was released. In a nutshell, the Disney movie will follow the pair hot on the trail of a mysterious snake whos suddenly shown up in town, leading them to go undercover in parts of Zootopia theyve never explored before. Listen, we said ourselves that Zootopia deserved a sequel , but surely not like this. As you can tell from the premise above, Zootopia 2 is already setting itself up to be a total yawnfest. Im not sure how much that matters to the target audience of under 10s, but hey, is there a more restless demographic than them? Regardless, I think our first few minutes of footage in the Zootopia 2 trailer highlight a real issue with Disneys lack of creative engagement. Following in the footsteps of Turning Red , Luca and Inside Out 2 (yes, I appreciate these are collaborations with Pixar ), it feels as though the studio has regressed back to its cookie-cutter cash grab approach it took the minute it started churning out multiple streams of sequels and live-action adaptations. Its not only the lack of imagination with the storyline thats enraged me either there was an obvious way to be much more playful with the title. The Zootopia 2 trailer is lacklustre at best, but why isnt the new movie called 2ootopia? Disney , you can have this one on me. 2ootopia (pronounced two-topia) would have been such a lightheartened way to inject some fun back into what is already proving to be a bit of a lazy launch. The internet often jokes about sequels adding their movie number into their title, and aside from us being genuinely hilarious on social media, its an easy win as far as kids films are concerned. Younguns need something big and bold to grab onto, and that starts with the first impression a movie makes. Surely I shouldnt be telling the most famous animation company in the world how to do something as basic as their actual job, but if the best they have for Zootopia 2 is setting a snake loose in town only to be caught again, their heads clearly need a wobble. Its certainly a nice touch to include a therapy session as a gentle way to poke fun at how we perceive ourselves its definitely the strongest scene weve seen so far but how much is that just superficial lip service? If you want to play it safe, its better to give the illusion of doing something different, and thats exactly what Disney has done here. I love Judy Hopps more than life itself, so Im really hoping Im wrong with my first-take assessment of the Zootopia 2 trailer. The fact Ive not got a single interesting thing to say about it isnt the best start, but at least theres always time to rebrand to 2ootopia . Zootopia 2 is set to be released on November 26, 2025.
