Film Review – Zootopia 2

While many anticipated a hit film in 2016’s “Zootopia,” few could’ve predicted its monster success, taking the world by storm as it rolled on to become a billion dollar grosser. Disney certainly took their time cooking up a sequel, spending the intervening years developing the premise for streaming shows and theme park experiences, feeling out the true popularity of the brand name. Now there’s “Zootopia 2,” which looks to dominate the competition with a return of the franchise’s sense of humor, action, and commentary on the way of the world for underprivileged creatures. Directors Jared Bush (who also scripts) and Byron Howard aren’t looking to stray far from the formula that worked so well nearly a decade ago, but they end up with a much better picture, as “Zootopia 2” maintains a mostly playful presence with a wonderful voice cast, showing more consistency as it looks to balance silliness with societal issues.
