Directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, the sequel made box office history on its opening weekend, becoming the fourth-biggest global opening ever at the time and the largest global launch of all time for an animated film. It was also nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards.
The franchise started with the original 2016 movie, which introduced fans to rabbit police officer Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and con artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman). The two started as enemies as Judy joined the Zootopia Police Department, but then put aside their differences to solve a mystery in the animal city. The first movie was a hit at the box office, crossed $1 billion globally, and spawned a spinoff TV series called “Zootopia+” on Disney+.
