A deft blend of silly humor that should appeal to kids and adult-friendly sophisticated storytelling, the sequel to 2016’s Zootopia delves into a Chinatown-esque conspiracy involving the history of the animal-populated title city and why there aren’t many reptiles around.
Picking up from the events of the first movie, Zootopia 2 finds rabbit Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and former con artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) now partners in the Zootopia Police Department. When their attempt to bust a big smuggling case goes awry, they get assigned to counseling to work out their differences, but Judy recovers evidence that a reptile might be involved.
She and Nick go undercover at a gala celebrating the 100th anniversary of the technology that regulates the city’s weather so all the different species can live comfortably together. They soon encounter a snake, the first one seen in the city in a century, who steals the original notebook containing the plans for the weather regulator, running afoul of the lynx family descendants of the inventor who patented the device.
When the snake, Gary (Ke Huy Quan), claims the journal holds the key to reversing a great injustice involving the snakes, Judy and Nick decide to help him, disobeying orders in their effort to uncover the truth while being branded fugitives.
While pursuing another message of togetherness similar to the first film, the lively Zootopia 2 is also loaded with crazy action sequnces and filled with fun references to previous Disney animal-related classics.
As to a 4K home release of Zootopia 2, while Disney made it available on 4K through digital retailers, the studio announced the only way to get the film on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc is through a limited-edition Steelbook release that is apparently in such low supply that Amazon took down its listing page for it, and other online retailers offering it have preorders listed as sold out.
