ONE OF DISNEY'S BEST MOVIES EVER?! Zootopia 2 Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Visit http://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS - ZOOTOPIA (2016) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/MFU5ihSExf8 - Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 With a Best Animated Feature nomination for the 2026 Oscars, Greg & Tara RETURN to give their Zootopia 2 Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, Commentary, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba & Tara Erickson react to Zootopia 2 (2025), Disney’s long-awaited animated sequel that reunites audiences with the bustling, animal-filled metropolis and its unlikely heroes. Building on the Oscar-winning original, Zootopia 2 expands the world, deepens its social satire, and delivers a new mystery that challenges Judy and Nick in unexpected ways. The film once again centers on rookie-turned-legendary cop Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin – Once Upon a Time, Something Borrowed) and her clever, streetwise partner Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman – Ozark, Horrible Bosses). Now firmly established as a team, Judy and Nick are pulled into a fresh case that pushes them beyond the familiar districts of Zootopia, exploring new neighborhoods, species dynamics, and power structures within the city. Early buzz points to the sequel leaning even harder into themes of bias, trust, and institutional accountability—while maintaining the humor and heart that made the original a phenomenon. Returning fan-favorite characters include Chief Bogo (Idris Elba – Luther, Thor), Clawhauser (Nate Torrence – She-Ra and the Princesses of Power), and Gazelle (Shakira – Sing, El Dorado), alongside new faces that broaden the scope of Zootopia’s world. Highly anticipated moments teased for the sequel include expanded buddy-cop banter between Judy and Nick, large-scale city set pieces, and musical beats that echo the cultural impact of “Try Everything.” With vibrant animation, topical storytelling, and sharp comedy, Zootopia 2 aims to prove that this world still has plenty to say—and plenty of fun left to deliver. #Zootopia2 #Zootopia #ZootopiaReaction #DisneyAnimation #AnimatedMovie #FamilyFilm #JudyHopps #NickWilde #DisneySequel #AnimatedFilm #MovieReaction #MovieReview #NewMovie #NewMovies #React #ReactTo #Reaction Inside Out 2 (2024) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/qljF3WE7rGE KPop Demon Hunters (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/MB30DdNaqLA Encanto (2021) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/cLAXNWDtXp0 The Wild Robot (2024) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/f7rp-iDHBGc Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow Greg Alba: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 - Checking In! 1:21 - Zootopia 2 Reaction 41:51 - LIQUID IV 43:57 - Zootopia 2 Movie Reaction 1:10:17 - Zootopia 2 Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8

I love that Disney actually had the guts to let the filmmakers make a story that parallels real world issues affecting displaced minorities.

Remember how Nick only said Judy’s name one time in the first movie? In this one, he says it 13 times.

The tie Nick is wearing in this movie is a gift from Judy. It has night howler flowers on it. When they're on the way to the gala, the tie blows off to the side from the wind, Nick looks down at it and smiles.

I appreciate that Pawbert didn't suddenly reveal his 'true' personality after betraying Judy and Gary. He's still the same person, just also willing to commit premeditated murders in order to cover up his great grandfather's crimes and impress his toxic family; it honestly makes him more frightening to me.

This movie is loaded with so much Nick x Judy fan service, lol But also I was on Nick's side 100%, he put up with Judy way better than I ever would have lol. I feel like y'all (or at least the gal reactor) need to cut Nick some slack, he really did have to endure a whole lot for Judy.

Fun fact: the green lizard named Jésus that wears a hat is actually a Basilisk Lizard, otherwise known as the Jesus Christ lizard because it’s one of the very few reptiles that can actually run on water effectively!

I just realized that Nick opening up to Judy about his feelings sort of mirrors how, in the first movie, Gideon opened up after they met as adults.
