The premiere of Zootopia 2 was held on November 13th at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, and critics are giving the film very positive reviews.

Rotten Tomatoes reports a 94% approval rating based on 49 critic reviews, showing the film is generally well-received. Reviewers especially liked its captivating story, vibrant animation, and exciting action.

I’ve noticed something really cool about the new movie – Disney seems to be tackling some important social issues, but in a way that’s still really fun and easy for kids to understand. It’s great to see them doing that!

Critics say the new movie strikes a great balance between funny moments and emotional scenes, making it enjoyable for kids and adults alike.

The new movie, Zootopia 2, takes everything people loved about the first film and expands on it with even more action and thrilling obstacles for Judy and Nick. Critics are calling it clever, fun, and heartwarming – a great next chapter for the series.

The varied settings allow for exciting and intricate action sequences, as the animators cleverly used each environment’s special features. Like the sequels to films like Lethal Weapon and Bad Boys, Judy and Nick’s story expands with a bigger, more adventurous plot.

Disney has done a better job of handling sensitive topics with subtlety in this film, which is positive. However, it feels like they put less creative energy into Zootopia itself compared to other projects, which is disappointing.

Zootopia 2 is hilariously funny and genuinely heartwarming. Disney Animation has created a clever and excellent sequel that was well worth anticipating.

While not groundbreaking, this sequel is a lot of fun and moves quickly. It’s perfect for kids, and adults will appreciate the clever humor and references woven throughout.

Christopher Lloyd

Zootopia 2 is a fantastic movie that deserves all the praise it gets. The clever pairing of a bunny and a fox as police officers delivers a funny and insightful look at real-world problems, making it one of the best animated films of recent years.
