As a pair of mismatched partners at Zootopia's Police Department, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are as irresistible as animated animal characters get. In this sequel to 2016's Zootopia, they're struggling not only with tolerating the nuanced characteristics and mannerisms of each other (they even attend partner focused group therapy sessions), but are soon working with Gary the snake, an uncommon reptile in a city where such animals have been forbidden. At the center of the plot is an original city plan of Zootopia, an object to which two different parties have a claim to. Needless to say, Hopps and Wilde have their hands full.
Just as the first time around, the filmmakers (directors Jared Bush and Byron Howard) fill every shot and frame with gorgeous visuals, clever gags, and inject the screenplay with a film noir-ish mystery brimming with excitement and suspense. They even bring back Gazelle, the famous pop star (voiced by Shakira), whose closing credits song resembles the first movie's hit. Zootopia 2 is some of the best material that Disney Animation has to offer, and knowing how vast their collection of classics is, that's saying something.
☆☆☆1/2
