Zootopia 2 – First‐Look Preview of Disney’s Thanksgiving 2025 Blockbuster
The moment Walt Disney Animation Studios told shareholders that Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde would return for a second adventure, the announcement came with three hard facts—no more, no less. To start, Disney has pinned the release squarely on 26 November 2025—its coveted Thanksgiving weekend slot. Second, Jared Bush, who helped write and co‐direct the 2016 original, is back in the director’s chair and shares screenplay credit. Third, Disney confirms that longtime leads Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman will return, while Academy Award–winner Ke Huy Quan and comedian Fortune Feimster have also signed on in yet-to-be-revealed roles. Those points appear in Disney’s public movie portal, the D23 on-stage transcript, and the spring investor handout—everything else, including plot specifics, remains behind the studio gate.
