Tommy “Tiny” Lister (Finnick) just revealed a third one might already be planned.

I can tell you for sure I’m doing another Zootopia with Disney. We doing three of them… We the biggest film that Disney is producing. The last one was 240 million. This one I’m hearing will be 300 million. That’s what they spent on the budget, not the advertising.

If this turns out to be true, it would make Zootopia the first trilogy from WDAS. Unless, of course, Frozen gets there first.

I mean, I'd rather they milk this over something like cars or frozen. But obviously I'd rather they put their talents/resources elsewhere.

I already know the plot to Zootopia 3.

Nick and Judy are having a big wedding, but it's crashed by a big robbery in the city. Nick soon finds out his dad, surprisingly alive, is the leader of a team of bandits that steals from wealthy neighborhoods to help poorer ones. Nick needs to decide between helping out his dad or doing his job as a police officer and turning him in.

...okay I may have repurposed the plot to Aladdin 3 with a bit of Robbin Hood, 'cause I doubt a plot to Z3 even exists right now, but meh.

If they are as good as the first, I don't mind if they make a trilogy. But I'd also prefer they focused on original films than on sequels.

I believe (and hope) that both this and Frozen do become trilogies. This at least has the kind of setup made for sequels with the possibility of a different case per movie, and Frozen I just straight up love and want to see more done with. They're both billion dollar money-makers, which made it inevitable.

Or Ralph...

I like it when WDAS acts like Pixar.

After its disappointing box office earnings, I doubt it. Yes, it grossed a little over the original but Disney likes big money-makers, not modest successes.

Oh, you.

Q: Is it official that there is going to be a Zootopia 2 and 3?

The DisInsider: That is an untrue rumor. Disney is discussing a sequel but not a 3rd film.

It seems a little early to be discussing Zootopia 3 when we haven't even had official confirmation for a first sequel yet. I imagine that after WIR2 performed below expectations, that Disney suddenly became more wary of planning a franchise for something untested. As well as the first film did, it hasn't captured the public consciousness the way Frozen did and the merchandise for the film was incredibly nonexistent. I'm not sure why, since Disney has no problems marketing The Lion King. Hopefully, the Shanghai park expansion will help Disney release the film's appeal.

If the second film does as well, or around the same, as the first, I'm sure a third film will be in the works as well.

‘Zootopia 2’ Directors & Producer On Nom For The Sequel To An Oscar-Winning Film & “Exceeding Expectations” On The Global Stage
https://deadline.com/2026/01/zootopia-2 ... 236692985/

As to whether or not there is enough meat on the bone for a third film, Bush says “according to the internet, there sure is.” It took years before the trio decided on a story for the sequel, as well as taking the time to create another Oscar winner with Encanto, so it’ll be dependent on finding a good story. “The world of Zootopia is one where we really get to hold up a mirror to human nature,” says Bush. “The good, and bad, thing is there’s so much for us to continue to learn and understand about each other.”

From the D23 Expo. Zootopia 3 was confirmed to be in the works, but no release date was given.

‘Zootopia 3’ Cast and Filmmakers Tease How Birds Add a ‘Fun Surprise’ to Disney Animation’s Hit Franchise
https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/z ... neak-peek/

It was a fun teaser that was shown. No more, no less. The argument at the beginning reminded me of the argument between the rams in Brother Bear, lol

Some more teases for Zootopia 3

https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/z ... neak-peek/

“The idea of bringing birds into this world is something that we’ve been excited about for years,” Bush, who co-wrote Zootopia (2016) and wrote and directed Zootopia 2, said. “Obviously, at the end of Zootopia 2, you see this little teaser of a feather coming in. What that means for Nick and Judy, what that means for the world of Zootopia, that’s going to be the fun surprise of this movie. For this one, we want all of our really fun characters to come back — but we’re going to really be pushing on this one to bring people some new things.”

Quan admitted he doesn’t “know anything” about what’s in store for his character in Zootopia 3, “but I can’t wait to hear and go back to the recording booth and play Gary again.” While birds and snakes are natural enemies in the real world, Quan hopes they’ll get along in the world of Zootopia. “Gary is such a nice guy. The birds might be afraid of him because he’s a pit viper, but I like to think that because of how cool he is that they’ll eventually see who he actually is and be good friends with him. We’ll see what happens!”

“There are so many stories to tell,” Spencer said. “There are so many other districts we can go into. We didn’t have reptiles the first time, and we’re allowing birds to come in this time. That allows the story to get bigger and bigger, to always feel fresh. But, at its core, this is always going to be a story about Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps. It’s going to always have Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin, because they are the core of these films. They bring not only comedy, but great emotion and great conflict. And one of the things I’ve always loved about the franchise is that there’s a procedural side and a fun mystery to go with it.”

I had expected that Gary wouldn't get to have more than like a singular cameo in the third movie, but Quan seems convinced that he's going to be part of the main cast. That's what I was expecting more from the second movie, but I'll take as much Quan as they're willing to offer.
