“Today I’m so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation studios to some of our most popular franchises, Toy Story, Frozen and Zootopia,” Iger said. “We’ll have more to share about these productions soon, but this is a great example of how we’re leaning into our unrivaled brands and franchises.”
Tha news has come in the middle of the layoffs of 7,000 employees at Disney+. Since the three movies have proven to be a huge global crossing hits on the big screens, the conglomerate is planning to bring more out of those in an attempt to make the viewers happy and become profitable again.
Is Zootopia+ Zootopia 2?
No, the two are different. While Zootopia+ is a series that has been released on Disney+ in 2022, Zootopia 2 is an upcoming sequel to the 2016 film directed by Jared Bush that isn’t having an exact release date yet but it has been speculated to be release around late 2023 or early 2024.
Is there any release date for Zootopia 2?
Zootopia sequel is currently under development along with Toy Story 5 and Frozen 3 but no exact release date has been given by Disney Studios.
Before this announcement, fans were thinking that the Zootropolis 2 (2023) movie would be replaced with a small Disney+ animated series titled Zootopia+ that will act as a sequel to the award-winning blockbuster film.
Before 8 Feb 2023, there were only speculations over the internet that a sequel was coming on the following date or the following year but finally Disney has provided some official information regarding the future of our favorite animal world adventure comedy film.
It seems that Disney wants to revive our childhood once again with a Zootopia 2, Toy Story 5 and an unexpected third Frozen film. An animated TV series with the title Zootopia+ has already released in 2022 which can serve as a possible sequel to the CGI film.
The animation series dives deeper into the lives of the newly married arctic shrew Fru Fru, talented dancer of the tiger named Gazelle, and a sloth named Flash.
Zootropolis 2 Speculations
In 2016, film directors were in talks about the possibility of creating a Zootopia sequel but no release date was announced publicly. Howard and Moore told an insider in 2019 that they are planning for two more films and take it to Zootopia 3.
The film’s potential future depends on the first part and Zootopia did an awesome job by overcoming the difficult creative hurdle but still a second part is unclear.
Some unofficial reports claimed that the new Zootropolis 2 or second part of Zootopia will come out in 24 Nov 2024. The movie hasn’t released since six years and it can be released on the mentioned date if the project is underway.
The film deserves a sequel after a major success for the first movie due to its awesomeness and humor on social commentary.
Why was Zootopia 2 cancelled?
Producers believe that the movie works well as a single film due to its kid-friendly rating that would be affected if a sequel was announced.
The voice actors were trying hard to maintain the kids rating without any involvement of bad words and it become harder with another part.
So, the idea for releasing a second part was dropped at that time but it seems that the team is trying to bring another film.

So you made up a pile of nonsense to be funny?
Happy to hear that I made you laugh.
NEVER (not even YET) has Disney set a date, or even mentioned the possibility. Look at the Disney website. They advertise EVERY NEW MOVIE–and yet Zootopia 2 has NEVER EVER even been a twinkle in anybody’s eye.
It’s rumor until the creators reveal the thing on camera but in reality, Director Howard had Zootopia 2 plans that he never disclosed.
