Zoomania 2

As an adult who hasn't watched disney movie for a while, i gotta say that i didn't expect much from this movie. However, this movie exceeded my expectations by adding the issues on childhood trauma and personality disorders into the script. The details, music, and several hidden references along with a pretty solid plot are combined beautifully.

The pacing is not too rush or too slow. It's a good sequel as we can see the next steps for nick&judy's relationship and character development. Overall, this movie does bring me joy :)

Never thought that the sequel would be better than original. Sequel have everything, incredible world expansion (like it's MASSIVE), jokes are funnier and the relationship between Nick and Judy is the best part, also i absolutely love a new characters like Garry, Nibbles, Mayor Winddancer and ofc the Lynxley family (All of them). The movie references was perfect and especially one for an all time horror classic, if you're a fan of the first one ran as fast as you can to see it.

Zootopia 2 restores Disney animation to its former glory with a high quality sequel that plays to the exact same strengths as the original but doesn't repeat itself thematically. This is another really funny and fast paced adventure where Nick Wilde & Judy Hopps unravel an equally sinister yet more mature conspiracy which goes to the very top, now focused on how the rich use gentrification to expand their ambitions at the expense of those who are different, covering it all up by erasing history with propaganda afterwards.

Ginnifer Goodwin & Jason Bateman are a perfect pairing once again. Their chemistry is faultless and both of them have grown by the end with Ginnifer Goodwin's Judy eventually realising that she doesn't need to always carry the weight of the world on her shoulders and Jason Bateman's Nick has to finally open up by dropping his endless snark for a genuinely affecting moment. Ke Huy Quan playing Gary De'Snake is fantastic casting as the sensitivity he brings is ideal for a character who's designed to go against stereotypes.

Directors Jared Bush & Byron Howard deliver emotionally investing action and the new areas explored makes Zootopia feel even more vibrant, aided by highly detailed animation. Starting this story a week after the first one's narrative ended was a wise choice to avoid missing any character development and there's some hilariously unexpected references to other films as well as so many animal puns. Michael Giacchino's score is easily capable of constantly matching the film's energy and switching things up.

Zootopia 2 is a BLAST!!! Honestly after being disappointed by Disney Animation's last three outings, I had low to moderate expectations going in to Zootopia 2, but it not only met those expectations, it succeeded them. This was worth the 9 year wait. Let's talk about what works so well about the movie.

Nick and Judy are a dynamic duo. Their chemistry is truly what drives this movie. While the first movie established their partnership, the sequel delves deep into their relationship and their differences providing for some solid comic relief moments and some hard hitting emotional ones. There are new characters introduced as well, of which Gary De'Snake and Pawbert Lynxley were the standouts. The movie is also visually stunning with vibrant locations, expressive character designs and gorgeous lighting. The world building is rich and expansive leading to new hidden parts of the animal city. The humor is clever and there tons of references to past Disney movies and other Hollywood flicks. The themes of discrimination, stereotypes and social exclusion are strong. The voice performances were amazing ofcourse particularly by Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy Hopps, Jason Bateman as Nick Wilde, Ke Huy Quan as Gary De'Snake and Andy Samberg as Pawbert Lynxley. And the plot feels more mature and darker this time with a more thrilling mystery and higher stakes.

That said, there were some pacing issues in the middle half and some of the jokes may not land as neatly. Though these are just minor nitpicks as the movie largely succeeds on all other levels.

Overall, Zootopia 2 is a solid sequel that masterfully expands on it's predecessor's strong themes and rich world building with stunning animation, fun new characters and sharp humor providing for an amazing time at the movies.

"Zootopia 2"-a cool breeze of winds that is filled with memories, twists, some sparking chemistry, and an amusing story!

Before watching it, I had no expectations, as Disney had failed many times with their predictable, unnecessary stories, but this time, I was in shock; this is going to be one of my top animated films.

The animation was so beautiful and updated from its first film, like, absolutely amazing, with a strong background score filled with suspense and mystery. This is in between Go For It and Perfection!

The world expansion felt realistic, and each location felt connected, with genuine cinematic lighting and shots too.

Never thought I would feel goosebumps in a Disney movie after Frozen 2!

Just go watch it in theaters-the animations, the characters, the really cool twist, oh man, I love it!
