IT’S HAPPENING! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL, ZOOTOPIA 3 IS HAPPENING!
Announced at the D23 Entertainment Showcase tonight, Jared Bush took to the stage and showed a short video revealing the logo for Zootopia 3! It doesn’t yet have a date but, as Jared said, “You can expect to see all the characters you loved in the first 2 films as Zootopia goes to the birds with some feathery fliers” (via IGN)
And, thanks to ZootopiaArchive, we’ve got the clip they showed of the announcement!
There are already quite a few interesting details to notice-
You’ll notice our favorite dynamic duo on the cover of the newspaper, along with an article that reads:
Hopps and Wilde Will Return! To Burning Mammal
By Franklin Molesworth
Judy Hopps and Nicholas Wilde are the talk of the town after repeatedly bringing down corrupt city elites in two high profile cases. The Missing Mammals & Lynxley Family cases have made this team headline news, but its’ off-the-clock relationship has the public on claws and quills. The police team have Zootopians wondering what these two are gonna do next”
That alongside an article like this…
Oh they know EXACTLY what they are doing.
We’ll be sure to keep you posted as news trickles in! We wish we were there in person, but we’ll make do with what we have. Have a good night!
Oh, and of course, have the official announcement from the Disney Animation Twitter page!
