*When Disney Animation invites you behind the curtain, you show up. And when they ask if you want to step into the booth and voice Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) in a brand-new “Zootopia 2” scene, you say yes before the sentence finishes.
That’s exactly what happened when yours truly, Jill Munroe, spent the day at Walt Disney Animation Studios for an exclusive preview of the upcoming sequel. The highlight?

- An animal drawing session — sketching bunnies, porcupines, and learning how semi-aquatic animals that now populate the expanded world of the sequel
- Exclusive footage + a production deep dive with directors Jared Bush & Byron Howard and producer Yvett Merino
- A filmmaker Q&A exploring story, character evolution, and new environments like Marsh Market
- An evidence-room escape experience, complete with clues, case files, and ZPD-style pressure
And now, for one scene at least — Nick Wilde sounded a little like Jill Munroe.
Zootopia 2 picks up minutes after the original, with Judy and Nick now partners — tested by a new mystery, bigger stakes, and an expanded city full of reptiles, semi-aquatics, and unexpected alliances. It hits theatres on November 26.
