Overview
- Walt Disney Animation announced that Zootopia 3 is in development during the D23 Disney Entertainment showcase, with the reveal made onstage by Jared Bush.
- Actors Ginnifer Goodwin and Ke Huy Quan confirmed that their characters Judy Hopps and Gary De’Snake will return for the third film.
- Disney showed only a feather-themed logo and teased that the story will bring birds into Zootopia, and the project remains early-stage with no release date or plot details.
- The decision follows Zootopia 2’s exceptional box-office run, which topped roughly $1.8–1.87 billion worldwide and created strong commercial incentive for a quick follow-up.
- Announcing the film at D23 signals official studio backing and starts a public marketing clock that will likely next produce staffing news, a release window, and incremental promotional reveals.
