Zootopia is finally back after nine years.
I personally loved the first movie so much that I went straight to the theater the moment Zootopia 2 opened today.
I have a lot to say, but for now, let me start with the basics and share a short review!
<Quick Review>
Whenever a successful movie gets a sequel, the same question always comes up:
“Does it beat the original?”
A lot of films fail to live up to that expectation…
but for me, Zootopia 2 delivered more than enough satisfaction.
The one downside is that the themes and messages of the first and second movies are pretty similar.
But honestly? When the theme is this good, I don’t mind hearing it again and again.
And if you ask the very blunt question,
“Is it better than the first one?”
my answer would be: “It’s hard to compare them head-to-head.”
They share the same universe and explore similar ideas,
but Zootopia 1 and 2 each have their own kind of fun.
If I had to give an example, I’d say it feels similar to the Avatar series —
same world, same core message, but it’s entertaining every single time.
Watching Zootopia 2, I kept thinking,
“Wow, this movie is such a perfectly balanced polygon.”
People usually say “a well-rounded hexagon,”
but I’m calling it a polygon because the film balances so many different elements so well.
The directing, animation quality, character work, worldbuilding, design, props, music, and story structure —
all of these were already top-tier in the first movie,
and in the sequel, they don’t drop at all. If anything, they go even higher.
What really stood out in Zootopia 2 was the charm of its humor and romance.
There are genuinely a lot of funny moments,
and Nick’s little romantic beats and flirting?
Absolutely adorable.
Creative & Hilarious Moments
LOL, these total goofballs 😂
Honestly, they could be considered the third main characters of Zootopia 2.
And of course, our lovely Nick and Judy
Plus the scene that made me laugh the hardest…
This movie is packed with genuinely funny moments.

Once the movie ends, a beautiful end-credit sequence rolls with a great song,
so it’s definitely worth staying seated until the very end.
There is one post-credit scene, and it feels like a hint toward Zootopia 3.
The fact that we’re getting a third movie? Infinite thanks to Disney…
I’ll wrap it up here.
If you enjoyed Zootopia 1,
don’t hesitate—go watch Zootopia 2
and carry that precious feeling forward
That’s it for now 🙂
