"I will be honest: Until Zootopia 2 insisted otherwise, I had not given a ton of thought to what it would look like if rabbit Judy Hopps and fox Nick Wilde were to procreate. I'm still not actually sure whether such a thing is supposed to be possible in the world of the Zootopia franchise, where anthropomorphic animals live together in imperfect harmony in a high-tech metropolis, commuting and eating out and engaging in corruption while remaining distinct species that each retain their own characteristic needs and behaviors."
"But right there at the start of the new film, Judy (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and recently minted fellow cop Nick (Jason Bateman) opt to go undercover at the docks as new parents to a bouncing baby boy. The dirty Customs agent they're investigating, an anteater named Antony Snootley (John Leguizamo), seems mildly surprised by the sight of this interspecies pairing but doesn't react as though he's encountering something out of Greek mythology or science fiction. Maybe he's convinced because the character posing as their kid, Nick's old fennec-fox partner in crime, Finnick, does kind of look as though he could be a vulpine-bunny hybrid."
"I am not a furry, and I would also like to apologize to the rich and varied furry community for reducing its subculture to horniness, but there is something about the sequel's combination of almost-acknowledged romance and zoological specificity that feels hilariously targeted. Zootopia 2, which was directed by Zootopia 's Jared Bush and Byron Howard, with Bush writing the script, follows the same pattern as the first film, giving Judy and Nick little time to rest on their laurels before sending them off to investigate another convoluted conspiracy involving some of Zootopia's most"
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde pose as new parents to go undercover at the docks, presenting a faux family dynamic that raises questions about interspecies reproduction within Zootopia. A Customs agent, Antony Snootley, registers mild surprise but treats the pairing as plausible, aided by Finnick posing as the child. The sequel foregrounds an almost-acknowledged romantic chemistry between the rabbit and the fox alongside a new conspiracy-driven police investigation. Jared Bush and Byron Howard direct the sequel, with Bush credited as the screenwriter. The tone blends zoological specificity, playful provocation about fandom, and procedural mystery.
