Disney<\/a> is marching into the new year with its head held high as the studio celebrates its latest milestone, thanks to the runaway success of Zootopia 2<\/a>. The animated sequel, directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, is now Disney\u2019s highest-grossing animated feature with more than $1.47 billion. This total defeats the House Mouse\u2019s previous record holder, Frozen 2, which made $1.45 billion in 2019.<\/p>\n

How much has Zootopia 2 made at the box office?<\/p>\n

According to the latest numbers from Box Office Mojo<\/a>, Zootopia 2 has banked over $344 million domestically, while its international total stands at a whopping $1.13 billion. The animated adventure performed like gangbusters over the Christmas Holiday, adding $87.9 million to its already astounding total. Zootopia 2 is the fastest PG-rated movie in history to surpass $1 billion at the box office, a feat it achieved in just 17 days of release. The film shone brightly in China, where it\u2019s earned over $500 million, the highest total for a U.S. release. Zootopia 2 joins an elite club of three movies to cross the $1 billion mark this year, including Lilo & Stitch ($1.03 billion) and China\u2019s Ne Zha 2 ($2.2 billion).<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Zootopia 2 about?<\/p>\n

The official description for\u00a0Zootopia 2\u00a0reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter cracking the biggest case in Zootopia\u2019s history, rookie cops Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman) find their partnership isn\u2019t as solid as they thought when Chief Bogo (voice of\u00a0Idris Elba) orders them to join the Partners in Crisis counseling program. But it doesn\u2019t take long for their partnership to be put to the ultimate test when they find themselves on the twisting trail of a mystery tied to the arrival of a venomous snake in the animal metropolis.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Zootopia 2\u00a0introduces Gary De\u2019Snake<\/a> (voice of Ke Huy Quan), Nibbles (voice of Fortune Feimster) and quokka therapist Dr. Fuzzby (voice of Quinta Brunson), the upcoming feature film also welcomes back a herd of characters who made their debut in the Oscar-winning film\u00a0Zootopia. \u2018It\u2019s been an absolute joy to reteam with so many actors who made the first film so special, and so exciting to expand the world with our phenomenal new cast members,\u2019 said director\/writer Jared Bush (chief creative officer for Walt Disney Animation Studios). \u2018I can\u2019t wait for audiences to see what other surprises we have in store in this brand-new adventure.’\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve yet to see Zootopia 2. Then again, I think the last movie I saw in a theater was Chainsaw Man \u2013 The Movie: Reze Arc. It\u2019s ridiculous. Trust me. I know. One of my New Year\u2019s resolutions is to attend the theater more often. However, it\u2019s because not much has caught my fancy in 2025. Hopefully, 2026 brings the noise.<\/p>\n
