More about ZOOTOPIA 2
In Zootopia 2, rookie cops Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) find themselves on the twisting trail of a great mystery when Gary De’Snake (voice of Academy Award® winner Ke Huy Quan) arrives in Zootopia and turns the animal metropolis upside down. To crack the case, Judy and Nick must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before. The Oscar®-winning team of Jared Bush and Byron Howard (directors) and Yvett Merino (producer) are the principal filmmakers.
The Zootopia 2 voice cast is composed of an astounding pool of talent that also includes Andy Samberg (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), David Strathairn (“Good Night, and Good Luck”), Macaulay Culkin (“John Candy: I Like Me”) and Brenda Song (“The Last Showgirl”) who appear as the Lynxleys, one of the most prominent families in Zootopia. Comedian Fortune Feimster (“Crushing It”) is the voice of Nibbles Maplestick, an oddball beaver whose podcast explores reptile mysteries; Idris Elba (“Heads of State”) returns as Chief Bogo, the well-respected head of the Zootopia Police Department; Patrick Warburton (“The Emperor’s New Groove”) voices actor-turned-politician Mayor Brian Winddancer; Shakira (“Zootopia”) returns as the voice of Zootopia’s biggest pop star, Gazelle; Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”) stars as Dr. Fuzzby, an adorable quokka therapy animal; Robert Irwin (“Dancing with the Stars”) joins the cast as the cute koala Robert Furwin; and Nate Torrence (“Get Smart”) reprises his role as Clawhauser, ZPD’s charming cheetah receptionist.
