Storyline of the sequel

The sequel once again follows the adventures of rookie-turned-experienced police officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. Now official partners at the Zootopia Police Department, they find themselves caught in a complicated investigation.

During a raid linked to a smuggling operation, the two discover clues pointing toward a mysterious reptile named Gary De'Snake. As the investigation moves forward, they realise the case may connect to something much bigger involving powerful groups in the city.

The story eventually takes them into hidden corners of the animal metropolis — including the Marsh Market and other unfamiliar zones — where they must work undercover and uncover secrets tied to the city's past.

The sequel brings back several familiar voices, with Ginnifer Goodwin returning as Judy Hopps and Jason Bateman reprising his role as Nick Wilde. New additions to the cast include Ke Huy Quan as Gary De'Snake, along with Andy Samberg, David Strathairn, Patrick Warburton, Quinta Brunson, and Danny Trejo. Several actors from the first film, including Idris Elba, also return, and the Hindi version features Shraddha Kapoor voicing Judy Hopps.

Produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, the film became a major box office hit, grossing $1.861 billion worldwide and ranking among the highest-earning animated films ever. It received positive reviews from critics, won Best Animated Feature at the 79th British Academy Film Awards, and has been nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the upcoming 98th Academy Awards.
