This morning, Walt Disney Animation Studios unveiled a new teaser trailer for Zootopia 2, the eagerly anticipated sequel to 2016’s Academy Award®-winning Zootopia.
The trailer reunites rookie cops Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) and promises a new team-up with a mysterious pit viper, Gary De’Snake (voiced by Ke Huy Quan). It also provides glimpses at new and returning characters.
Judy and Nick are led down a perilous path by a great enigma in the film, which premieres exclusively in theaters on November 26. Gary De’Snake’s arrival in Zootopia disrupts the animal metropolis. In order to solve the case, they are compelled to conduct covert operations in unexpected areas of the city, thereby putting their developing partnership to the ultimate test.

Jared Bush, Disney Animation’s chief creative officer and director, who also penned the script, anticipates that viewers will be treated to a more expansive universe. “We are ecstatic to reunite with everyone in the outrageous, expansive animal metropolis of Zootopia and to take audiences on a hilarious, wild ride through areas of the city that have never been explored before,” Bush stated. “The marshes of semi-aquatic mammals, the vast desert dunes, or even greater mysteries beyond are all places where our heroes, Judy and Nick, will make many new friends and learn even more about the world, themselves, and a brand-new snake in town.”
“The trailer features the original song ‘ZUTU’ by Zootopia’s finest lemming techno group, LEMEEENS,” director Byron Howard added. Members Hans-Peter, Gūnther, Spielt, and their DJ, Spaß, composed the song to commemorate the event and welcome the world back to the City of Zootopia, following their recent tour as the opening act for sensation Gazelle.
In addition to the voices of Fortune Feimster, Quinta Brunson, and Shakira, who reprises her role as Gazelle, Zootopia 2 is directed by the Oscar®-winning team of Bush and Howard and produced by Yvett Merino.
