Last year, Walt Disney Animation Studios released Zootopia 2, continuing the story of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. The sequel, which came nine years after the original film’s huge success, follows the Zootopia police officers as they investigate a new case that threatens their animal city, and reveals surprising secrets about Zootopia’s history and their own connection.

After a theatrical release last November, Zootopia 2 is now available to stream on Disney+ as of March 11th. The movie is accessible to all Disney+ subscribers worldwide. Disney waited 105 days before adding it to the streaming service – a bit longer than usual, but consistent with the release strategy for their most popular films, and Zootopia 2 is definitely one of those.

The highly anticipated sequel has been a critical and public success. Zootopia 2 has earned a ‘Certified Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes with a 91% approval rating from critics. However, audiences loved it even more, giving it a remarkable 96% score, making it incredibly popular.

The incredible success of Zootopia 2 at the box office proves just how much audiences loved it. The film shattered records, earning a remarkable $1.8 billion worldwide – making it the ninth highest-grossing movie of all time. With that total, Zootopia 2 is now officially the highest-grossing movie ever to receive a G or PG rating.

Now you can watch Zootopia 2 from the comfort of your own home! The movie is now available on Disney+, so if you missed it in theaters or want to watch it again, any Disney+ subscriber can stream it immediately. And if you don’t have a subscription yet, Disney is offering a special deal: just $4.99 a month for the first three months.
