‘Zootopia 2’ trailer sees Nick and Judy attend buddy cop therapy

Trouble in paw-ridice? Nick and Judy are back on the case in the Zootopia 2 trailer — this time to solve the mystery between their clashing communication styles. 

The follow-up to Disney’s Oscar-winning 2017 animated film catches up with sly fox and eager bunny (voiced by Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin, respectively) just one week after they’re made official partners and, well… things aren’t going quite as expected. The pair have somehow landed themselves in group therapy for cop duos that can’t stand each other. 

In the clip, Judy can be seen eagerly trying to explain to the adorable quokka Dr. Fuzzby (Quinta Brunson) that she and Nick get along fine and don’t actually belong at the meeting. It’s then, of course, that Fuzzby calls out Judy’s anxious foot tapping and Nick’s “insecure attachment” style in front of the entire group, leaving the pair gobsmacked. 

The only hope the pair have to continue working together is if they’re able to successfully track down a mysterious snake named Gary (Ke Huy Quan). However, the serpent proves to be much more slippery than they’d initially thought. 

Along their journey, the trailer sees the pair visit new locations, like the marshlands, and reunite with some familiar faces, including the fearsome mobster Mr. Big (Maurice LaMarche) and his newly married daughter, Fru Fru (Leah Latham)

“Kiss the ring!” the mob heiress declares, waving a flashy ring pop encrusted hand toward Nick and Judy. “Kiss the ring!”

Disney announced that Zootopia 2 was on the way during an earnings call in 2023. The original film — which saw Nick and Judy join forces to find a group of missing predators — was a smash hit, raking in more than $1 billion at the global box office and spawning a Disney+ spinoff series, titled Zootopia+, that was released in 2022. 

The sequel rounds out its cast with returning stars Idris Elba as Chief Bogo and Shakira as pop star Gazelle, as well as franchise newcomers Quan, Brunson, and Fortune Feimster as Nibbles the beaver.

Zootopia 2 hops into theaters on Nov. 26. Watch the trailer above.
