Zootopia, the best animated movie of 2016 with a sequel Disney+ streaming series follow-up in 2022, is getting a movie sequel for Thanksgiving 2025. Rabbit cop heroine Judy Hopp (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) persevered through a boot camp gauntlet at the police academy in the face of those who only wanted her to fail. But she never gave up. Once on the force, like Charlie’s Angels, she was selected only for light work, like issuing traffic tickets. But Judy Hopp won’t be put in the corner. She took on the most important assignment in the city, and became the heroine we all need. In Zootopia 2, previewed at this year’s D23 but not released online yet, Judy is back with pal fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), teaming up as your favorite anthropomorphic detectives.
While you’re waiting for Zootopia 2, Dynamite’s Disney comics is bringing you a monthly comic book from writer Jeff Parker and artist Alessandro Ranaldi, the first Zootopia comics. Check out our first look inside the series and a bunch of covers for the first issue:
It’s another beautiful day in the bustling city of Zootopia, where every animal is free to strive to realize their full potential — and one of the most successful among the pack is Tripp Zebrando, owner of the PB&J cell phone company. Their high-tech devices have become the can’t-miss gadget for every citizen of Zootopia, and they’re about to launch their latest flagship model with a huge publicity event. Everything goes awry when someone has it out for PB&J, set on sabotaging the event and the company by bringing the whole house down — right on top of the unsuspecting crowd! Luckily this is a case for ZPD’s finest, as Officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde rush to the scene to keep the peace, contain the chaos, and investigate the mystery at the bottom of it all.
The artwork looks pretty close to the movies and TV series. These preview pages do not include text yet:
