Exciting news, Zootopia fans! Walt Disney Animation Studios has released the first trailer for Zootopia 2, and it’s packed with adventure, fun, and an all-new original song called “Zoo” performed by Shakira, who’s back as Zootopia’s superstar pop star, Gazelle.
In the trailer, rookie cops Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) discover a hidden reptile population and come face-to-face with a sneaky pit viper named Gary De’Snake, voiced by Oscar®-winner Ke Huy Quan. Directed by Disney Animation bosses Jared Bush and Byron Howard, and produced by Yvett Merino, the film promises big laughs, exciting action, and adorable new characters.
The catchy new tune, “Zoo”, was written by Shakira, Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin, and produced by the same team. Fans can listen to the single from Friday, 10 October. The full Zootopia 2 soundtrack, scored by Academy Award®-winner Michael Giacchino, drops Friday, 21 November, just before the film hits cinemas on Thursday, 27 November.
And there’s a fun surprise! Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin make cameo appearances as a pair of sheep named Ed Shearin and Baalake Lambkin.
The movie also features an incredible voice cast, including Andy Samberg, David Strathairn, Macaulay Culkin, Brenda Song, Idris Elba, Patrick Warburton, Quinta Brunson, Nate Torrence, and comedian Fortune Feimster. From quirky new characters to familiar favourites, Zootopia 2 is set to be a fun-filled ride for the whole family.
Fans of the original will remember “Try Everything”, Gazelle’s hit from the first movie, which has now been streamed over 2.7 billion times worldwide. Zootopia 2 promises to bring the same energy, laughs, and heart to a whole new adventure.
