Overview
- Walt Disney Animation formally announced that Zootopia 3 is in development at D23 in Anaheim, Friday, with chief creative officer Jared Bush onstage.
- Actresses Ginnifer Goodwin and Ke Huy Quan confirmed their characters Judy Hopps and Gary De’Snake will return for the third film.
- Disney used a feather-themed logo and social posts to signal the story will introduce birds to Zootopia, a payoff to Zootopia 2's post-credits feather tease.
- The decision follows Zootopia 2's extraordinary global haul of roughly $1.8–1.87 billion, driven in part by unusually strong box-office results in China.
- Key creative and scheduling details remain unannounced so fans should watch for director and full-cast news and for a release date that could arrive years from now given typical animation timelines.
