Zootropolis Franchise has Fans Flocking to Disney+
Zootropolis 2 is racing ahead on Disney+, hopping to 32M views globally in its first seven days, making it the #1 film on Disney+ during its premiere week. Its arrival on service builds on the enduring popularity of the franchise: together, Zootropolis, Zootropolis+, and Zootropolis 2 have been streamed over 885 million hours globally to date.
The film’s strong debut on Disney+ follows in its huge theatrical pawprint. It shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association (MPA) release of all time with $1.9 billion worldwide, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film ever and the highest-grossing animation release of 2025 in South Africa.
The sequel’s success continues the legacy of the original Zootropolis, which captivated fans around the globe and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2017. Zootropolis ranks as the #7 movie on Disney+ of all time and has been one of the most-streamed movies across all platforms in the U.S. for three out of the last six years, according to Nielsen.
In Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootropolis 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 (voiced by Academy Award® winner Ke Huy Quan) arrives in Zootropolis 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.
Now an Academy Award® nominee, Zootropolis 2, is an outstanding cinematic experience, celebrated for its humor, heart, and world-class animation. Beyond its stunning visuals, the film delivers a dynamic musical experience, featuring the new single “Zoo,” performed by Shakira, and a sweeping original score by Michael Giacchino.
The addition of Zootropolis 2 to Disney+ builds on the success of the franchise, including Zootropolis and Zootropolis+, which together have been streamed over 805 million hours globally to date.
Fans can jump into the action with Judy and Nick and watch every adventure in the Zootropolis Collection on service.
