Yesterday on The Walt Disney Company’s site, they released a press release revealing more information on Zootopia 3!
To recap, at the Entertainment Showcase Panel at D23 Expo, Zootopia 3 was announced to be in early development. This article gives us a little more information on the progress of the film and what could be in store for us!
Most interestingly, Byron Howard teased what could be happening with WildeHopps in the third movie, saying, “If you look at Nick and Judy, there are people who want them together as a couple, and people who want them to stay friends. I love that there’s that tension among the fans, and it just speaks to the fact that Jason and Ginny brought those characters to life and people really believe in their souls. I think we’re going to keep leaning into that. We’re going to keep delivering for the audience, keep making the world bigger, and keep taking you places you haven’t been before-with a lot of new animals.”
The article states that the release date for Zootopia 3, “will be announced at a later date.” What do you think? Are you excited for the next chapter in Nick and Judy’s journey?
You can read the full article over at The Walt Disney Company’s website, but here are the highlighted quotes:
“The idea of bringing birds into this world is something that we’ve been excited about for years. Obviously, at the end of Zootopia 2, you see this little teaser of a feather coming in. What that means for Nick and Judy, what that means for the world of Zootopia, that’s going to be the fun surprise of this movie. For this one, we want all of our really fun characters to come back — but we’re going to really be pushing on this one to bring people some new things.” – Jared Bush
“I did know — as I believe the audience knew — that the next one would end up being about birds. I have been texting them random thoughts. There are things I’m discovering about myself and my own relationship with birds that maybe we could use.” – Ginnifer Goodwin
“Gary is such a nice guy. The birds might be afraid of him because he’s a pit viper, but I like to think that because of how cool he is that they’ll eventually see who he actually is and be good friends with him. We’ll see what happens!” – Ke Huy Quan
“The world of Zootopia is one of my favorites to play in, because it’s such a mirror of the world we live in. Just like the stories in our world, the stories in Zootopia are endless.”– Yvett Merino
“There are so many stories to tell. There are so many other districts we can go into. We didn’t have reptiles the first time, and we’re allowing birds to come in this time. That allows the story to get bigger and bigger, to always feel fresh. But, at its core, this is always going to be a story about Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps. It’s going to always have Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin, because they are the core of these films. They bring not only comedy, but great emotion and great conflict. And one of the things I’ve always loved about the franchise is that there’s a procedural side and a fun mystery to go with it.” – Clark Spencer
“With the sequels, we want to look back at what was created, what people fell in love with, so that we can deliver something even better, expand the world, and take the characters to new levels. If you look at Nick and Judy, there are people who want them together as a couple, and people who want them to stay friends. I love that there’s that tension among the fans, and it just speaks to the fact that Jason and Ginny brought those characters to life and people really believe in their souls. I think we’re going to keep leaning into that. We’re going to keep delivering for the audience, keep making the world bigger, and keep taking you places you haven’t been before — with a lot of new animals.” – Byron Howard
