LOS ANGELES — Get ready for a paws-itively unforgettable family movie night as Zootopia 2 prepares to arrive on home entertainment platforms with exciting extras for fans.
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ highly anticipated sequel will be available digitally on January 27, followed by 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD releases on March 3.
Along with the feature film, viewers can enjoy exclusive bonus content, including behind-the-scenes featurettes and a collection of deleted scenes that offer a deeper look into the creative process.
A Rare Look at a Deleted Opening Scene
One standout deleted sequence, “Where Are They Now?”, was shared exclusively with On The Red Carpet. This scene was originally developed as an alternate opening for the movie, featuring Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps attempting to stop a smuggler at an airport.
While the finalized version of the story moved this action to the docks, the removed scene gives fans a fascinating glimpse into how the filmmakers explored different narrative directions during production.
Plot Overview: A New Case for Nick and Judy
Zootopia 2 reunites audiences with beloved rookie cops Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps as they tackle their most challenging mission yet. The duo finds themselves following a winding trail connected to Gary De’Snake, voiced by Ke Huy Quan.
