I guess one advantage of animated movies is that you can release a sequel nine years after the original and have the storyline only take place a week after the first film, but it still feels like Zootopia 2 could have advanced the plot a bit more. It feels like this movie is riding the coattails of its predecessor and using a lot of the same themes it did before. It also isn't as fun or whimsical as Zootopia. There are humorous moments, but the overall tone is fairly serious. I like the animation, the characters, the new song, and the expanded universe. There just isn't much to love about Zootopia 2.
