When is Zootopia 2 coming out?
The exact release date of Zootopia 2 is currently unknown, but already done official announcement of the sequel. Bob Iger at Disney's regular investor meeting revealed that Zootopia 2 is being developed alongside sequels to Frozen and Toy Story.
It was also announced by the studio's new CEO that the original development teams would return to work on all sequels, including Zootopia. At the moment, there is no concrete data on the release date and director. It is likely that the production of the cartoon Zootopia 2 is only at an early stage, and viewers will see it on the big screens for a long time.
The plot of the cartoon Zootopia
The story takes place in Zootopia, a vast metropolis inhabited by intelligent, civilized animals of various kinds. In the world of the cartoon, people never appeared, but the representatives of the animal world became intelligent. Both herbivores and predators coexist in Zootopia, and the metropolis itself is divided into areas that represent the natural habitats of various animals, for example, Sahara City.
The action focuses on the new police officer Judy Hopps, who is very naive and has dreamed of becoming a police officer since childhood. After undergoing arduous training with honors, she leaves her home and sets off to meet her new life in Zootopia. Reality completely discourages the rabbit, who is put in charge of issuing parking tickets. In the process, she unwittingly aids the machinations of fox Nick Wilde, whose guilt cannot be proven. As a result, she is on the verge of being fired from the police after an unauthorized pursuit of a robber.
The rabbit is lucky when Mrs. Vydrington comes to the police with a request to find her missing husband. Miss Barashkis, deputy mayor, manages to save the situation, and the unlucky Judy gets two days to search for missing citizens. If she fails, she will leave the police. The only lead leads her back to Nick, whom Judy tricks into helping.
As a result of the investigation, the partners find out about the so-called "night horloders" and end up in the laboratory, where they find missing citizens who have gone berserk. Having recorded the words of the mayor on the recorder as evidence of his guilt, the partners seem to have successfully closed the case. The perpetrators are arrested, the citizens are saved, but because of Judy's careless words in an interview, the predators begin to harass and shun, and Nick is very offended by his now ex-girlfriend.
The frustrated rabbit returns to her native farm to help her parents sell carrots, where it turns out that the "night horloders" are actually poisonous plants, flowers, because of which herbivores can also run wild. In tears, she returns to Zootopia, reconciles with Nick, and together with him finds and exposes the true culprit - Barashkis.
Criminals are arrested, feral animals are cured, and Nick and Judy become official partners in the police. Presumably, in the sequel we will see new adventures of the rabbit and the fox, as well as the development of their relationship.
