Zootopia broke box office records, won major industry awards, and became one of the most enduring Disney films of all times. Well, Zootopia fans rejoice as Disney+ drops a new follow-up series!
Zootopia fans have been waiting since 2016 for a follow-up to the popular film, well, they don’t have to wait any longer. And, according to Comicbook.com, the new series is going to make it worth the wait.
Fans of the original film will know just how large the world of Zootopia is and that the film only gave a glimpse at just a very small part of it. It seems that Zootopia+ will offer viewers a chance to expand on that world while still bringing back some fan favorite Zootopia supporting characters as well. Zootopia+ [is] be directed by Trent Correy and Josie Trinidad, both of whom were involved with the original film — Correy as an animator and Trinidad as a writer.
Zootopia+ is a follow up of sorts built off of the popular film, Zootopia. First released in 2016, Zootopia followed the story of an unlikely partnership between a rabbit police officer, Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), and a red fox con artist, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), as they work together to uncover a criminal conspiracy involving the disappearance of predators in the titular city where anthropomorphic animals coexist.
