Don't faint ... Disney is actually making something new and NOT another
idiotic live-action remake of their old movies.

It's a sequel, so not entirely new. I like sequels, BTW, whether they
keep everything the same but use a different plot or whether they move
onward and change the underlying situation a bit. Provided they are
well done, of course.

This teaser trailer isn't particularly useful and doesn't give any
details - it is really just an electronic music video with a few scenes
from the new movie.

Disney trailers for DTV sequels often feature really great scenes that
are really great because they are from the first movie. Hopefully,
that is not the case here.

This isn't unique to Disney. The sequel to the Lloyd-Webber Phantom
movie had some really great music in it -- all of it from /Phantom of
the Opera/. The new music wasn't as good.

   Zootopia 2 Trailer: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde Are Going Undercover
   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   The first trailer for Zootopia 2 has been released.
>
   The original Zootopia movie was released in United States theaters
   in March 2016 from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Featuring
   a voice cast that includes Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps and
   Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde, the animated film proved to be a
   massive success, as it made over a billion dollars at the global
   box office.

   A sequel, Zootopia 2, is now in the works and will be released
   this coming November. Check out the brand-new Zootopia 2 trailer

   What happens in the Zootopia 2 trailer?
   The Zootopia 2 trailer sees Judy and Nick reunited for a new
   assignment. The two of them find themselves needing to go
   undercover when investigating a case involving a snake named
   Gary, who is voiced by Ke Huy Quan.

   "In Walt Disney Animation Studios' Zootopia 2, detectives Judy
   Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by
   Jason Bateman) find themselves on the twisting trail of a
   mysterious reptile who arrives in Zootopia and turns the mammal
   metropolis upside down," the official synopsis reads. "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."
>
   Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson will voice Dr. Fuzzby, a
   quokka who is also a therapist helping Judy and Nick work
   through some issues in their partnership, while Shakira is
   returning as the pop star Gazelle. Fortune Feimster, meanwhile,
   has been tapped to voice a beaver named Nibbles.

This sounds very promising, although the use of "meanwhile" is
puzzling.

I mean, are we /really/ to understand that one casting team was
assembling the old group, including Shakira while /at the same time
but in a different place/ another casting team was casting the voice
for Nibbles?

   Zootopia 2 is written and directed by Jared Bush, while Byron
   Howard is a co-director. Yvett Merino produces the film.

   Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures will release Zootopia 2 in
   United States theaters on November 26, 2025. The first movie
   and Zootopia+ television series, meanwhile, are currently
   available to stream on Disney+.

That means I might be seeing it in late 2026 or 2027, when it finally
reaches Prime (for a reasonable rental cost or as part of Prime) or
Netflix.

Unless it bombs, of course. It is amazing how much faster films that
bomb at the box office show up online!
