Zootopia 2 Review

As a toddler, my days consisted of Frozen, Power Rangers (at least the Chinese version), Finding Nemo, and Zootopia. But my childhood days were a long time ago. When I first heard they were releasing a second Zootopia, I was initially hesitant to watch it. Sure, I had enjoyed the first movie, but oftentimes, sequels aren’t as good as the original.

However, my siblings were relentless in their mission to convince me to watch it. And after a while, I finally caved. But when I walked out of that movie theatre, I was so glad I had decided to watch it.

For those of you who were uneducated as children, Zootopia is a world of talking animals. Judy Hopps, a rabbit, wants to be a police officer when she grows up, a bringer of justice, thanks to a childhood of being bullied by animals stronger than her. However, even in a world of animals, society still doesn’t fail to create prejudices. Rabbits aren’t exactly known as violent or tough animals, but through hard work, Judy manages to become a police officer. In her new job, she meets Nick, a fox who commits crimes daily. At first, he pissed off Judy, but by the end of the movie, they became partners fighting crime. Zootopia 2 features the two unraveling a new mystery.

the new characters, even the way society functionsall beautifully written. Once again, Judy and Nick have to investigate an old, intricate scheme. As if the investigation wasn’t hard enough, they’re also being pursued by the police, their past coworkers, along the way, since it seems it’s impossible to investigate a crime without committing a few yourself.

dialogue. Nick is once again his cocky self, Judy is eager to prove her worth as an officer, and even the criminals’ intentions and motivations are written wonderfully.

I wouldn’t have thought that a childhood favorite of mine could have such a good sequel, but Zootopia 2 has fully exceeded my expectations. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good holiday movie or a sentimental visit.
