Disney’s “Zootopia 2” is headed home.
The animated sequel, directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, will hit digital on January 27. And for the physical media fanatics out there, the film will arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on March 3.
Since opening this past Thanksgiving, “Zootopia 2” has become the highest-grossing domestic animated feature ever, with over $1.7 billion worldwide. That’s also enough to make it the most successful Disney animated feature ever and the ninth highest-grossing movie ever.
If you are one of the five people who didn’t see “Zootopia 2” during its blockbuster theatrical run, it picks up shortly after the events of 2016’s “Zootpia,” which also grossed more than $1 billion and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Sly fox Nick (Jason Bateman) and neurotic bunny Judy (Ginnifer Goodwin) are the Zootopia Police Department’s newest partners and, soon enough, they stumble upon a far-reaching conspiracy that stretches back to the very foundation of the sprawling mammalian metropolis.
It was truly epic – largely considered the most complicated feature Walt Disney Animation Studios has ever produced – and still maintained all the charm, humor and emotion that made the first film so special and engaging. And considering how jam-packed with detail every frame of this movie is, it’ll be nice to pause and see all of the hidden gems scattered throughout “Zootopia 2.”
The home video release of “Zootopia 2” comes complete “with a slate of exclusive bonus features that extend the fun beyond the film, including an inside look at Walt Disney Animation Studios, playful behind-the-scenes moments from the recording booth, and a celebratory spotlight on the music of Shakira,” according to the official release. There is also a suite of deleted scenes “offering fans even more laughs, surprises, and world-building.” Huzzah!
