Full Plot
Officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are still fighting to be taken seriously as detectives - a struggle that gets worse when their off-the-books smuggling probe turns into a public disaster. With Chief Bogo threatening to split them up, the pair chase one last lead: a mysterious snake seen near the crime scene. That trail leads them to Gary DeSnake, a pit viper fugitive obsessed with exposing a secret behind the city's climate-controlling weather walls. When Judy and Nick realize he's telling the truth, they're suddenly framed by the powerful Lynxley family, whose buried crimes drove Zootopia's reptiles underground - and whose new plans are far more sinister. Branded fugitives, Judy and Nick join forces with eccentric beaver conspiracy buff Nibbles Maplestick to track down Gary and uncover the city's founding injustice - a case that will test their partnership, upend everything they thought they knew about Zootopia, and turn friends and enemies upside-down.

Manuel São Bento · 8/10Very short: Zootopia 2 is lovely and has as many little details about the world and everyone within it as the first one. If you enjoyed the first one, you'll enjoy this one. Longer: Zootopia 2 basically does what the first one already did: Using the story of a police case to teac…
RealZero · 10/10Things are not looking so hot for this animal equivalent of “Dempsey and Makepeace” after one of their clandestine operation goes especially pear-shaped and the boss threatens to split up “Hopps” and “Wilde”. The former is probably the more professional of the two and after disco…
CinemaSerf · 7/10It's very rare that the 2nd movie is better than the 1st and in this case it's true. Not as good as the 1st but actually it stood on it's own. Had a good story apart from the 1st movie and held it's own. Not as funny or clever plot bit more predictable but enjoyable.
