The Zootopia 2 trailer from Disney is now out, with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in it. These are experienced officers from the ZPD investigating a tarnished partnership. There was some trouble in their relationship, and Chief Bogo stepped in by sending them to Partners in Crisis, a therapy for working pairs in some sort of distress. The program is being conducted by Dr. Fuzzby, a happy quokka voiced by Quinta Brunson. While it’s funny, it also sets up a big new case with a mysterious snake named Gary De’Snake.
A New Kind of Danger in the City
Zootopia is in trouble when Gary De’Snake, a venomous pit viper voiced by Ke Huy Quan, shows up in the city. Nick scowled as it was strange to think of him ever having been in Zootopia, with its generally well-known snake-less condition. While Bogo put out an order to get Judy and Nick to book Gary for disquieting the peace. If they fail, he warns them that their cooperation will end. It is a matter of trust and teamwork. As the snake slithers about the city, Judy and Nick have to work their way through the broken bond and towards finally getting back in sync.

Trouble Within the Team
In therapy sessions, Judy is optimistic and determined to fix things, but Nick is resistant and sarcastic. Their differences create tension in front of Dr. Fuzzby, who patiently guides them through exercises to rebuild their trust. Chief Bogo is watching closely and has no patience for poor teamwork. As Judy and Nick juggle therapy and duty, their emotional and professional challenges get more complicated.

Story Themes and Emotional Stakes
The Zootopia 2 Trailer shows deals with fear, trust and emotional healing. The therapy scenes are both comic relief and narrative tools for character development. As the mission unfolds, the stakes get higher. Judy and Nick have to catch the snake but also face their doubts and frustrations. The trailer suggests the film will go deeper than surface-level action and comment on friendship and vulnerability.
Disney+ Spin-Off Set the Stage
Judy and Nick didn’t appear in the 2022 Disney+ mini-series Zootopia+, but the show did set the stage for the world. Disney, with Zootopia II, will finally revive the two in the foreground. The sequel feels like a natural continuation, picking up an emotional run from where we last left off.
