The eagerly awaited Zootopia 2 is now accessible via Digital platforms, and its home release is brimming with exciting features for fans. Continuing the narrative from the 2016 blockbuster, this sequel from Disney, which has shattered box office records, sees Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) facing challenges in their nascent partnership due to their unconventional investigative techniques. The plot thickens with their new ally, Gary De’Snake (voiced by Ke Huy Quan), drawing them into a conspiracy far greater than they anticipated.
Since its debut in November, Zootopia 2 has amassed over $1 billion worldwide and has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Picture. Following its successful cinematic run, the film is now available on digital platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. In celebration of its digital release, ScreenRant is featuring an exclusive clip from the “The Zookeepers” bonus content:
While Zootopia 2 is not the only Disney movie to create a lasting affection for its characters, Judy and Nick have certainly made a significant impact on pop culture, rivaling many contemporary releases. The directors, Byron Howard and Jared Bush, are seen in the bonus clip encouraging the actors to immerse themselves fully into their roles by using the “efforts bar” on their script stands, enhancing the authenticity of the vocal performances. This technique helps make the vibrant world of Zootopia 2 feel expansive and real.
In the clip, Jason Bateman is captured perfecting his enthusiastic declaration of “Hopps and Wilde,” while Ginnifer Goodwin and newcomer Fortune Feimster, who voices Nibbles Maplestick, also make full use of their efforts bars. These additional physical actions lend a genuine feel to the onscreen characters, ensuring the film’s universe is believably animated.
