Zootropolis (2016): Start your marathon with the original film from 2016, known as Zootopia in some regions. This is where it all begins: the introduction of the mammal metropolis, a city centered around harmony between predators and prey. However, beneath the vibrant surface lies a mystery that shakes society to its core. Meet Judy Hopps, an ambitious rabbit officer (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) who fulfills her dream at the ZPD (Zootopia Police Department). She teams up with Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman), a slick fox with a knack for hustling. Their dynamic? Classic buddy-cop vibes with a twist.
Directors Byron Howard, Rich Moore, and co-writer Jared Bush deliver a clever piece of storytelling that is both hilarious and sharp. Remember the DMV scene with Flash the sloth, the Night Howlers conspiracy, and the social commentary on prejudices and stereotyping? Add a fantastic voice cast (Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Jenny Slate as Bellwether, J.K. Simmons as Mayor Lionheart, Shakira as Gazelle) and you have a Disney animated film that does more than just entertain. This film sets the tone for everything that follows trust us, you don't want to miss that first introduction to Sahara Square, Tundratown, Rainforest District, and Bunnyburrow.
Zootropolis 2 (a.k.a. Zootopia 2): Although Zootropolis 2 is still in development, the sequel is already generating a lot of excitement in the Disney community and for good reason. Produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and featuring the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman, the sequel builds on the events of the first film. Expect more of that brilliant mix of detective story, buddy comedy, and social commentary. The city of Zootropolis has expanded, with new districts, new mysterious cases, and an even deeper dive into the complex dynamics between predators and prey.
What we know so far: Judy and Nick are now officially partners, and their collaboration within the ZPD reaches a new level. The sequel promises a larger scale, more extensive world-building, and likely even more nods to our own society. Keep an eye out for returning characters like Clawhauser (voiced by Nate Torrence), Mrs. Otterton (Octavia Spencer), and of course Duke Weaselton (fantastically voiced by Alan Tudyk).
While the exact release date and plot details are still under wraps, now is the perfect time to rewatch Zootropolis (2016) and start your marathon in advance. You'll be fully up-to-date when the sequel is released. And let's be honest: Disney is known for packing their films with easter eggs, references, and subtle hints that only true fans will spot. Who knows? During your rewatch, you might notice something crucial for the second installment.
Why This Viewing Order Works for Your Marathon
Some franchises require complicated timelines (just look at the MCU), but with Zootropolis, it's straightforward: watch in order of release. This works perfectly because Judy and Nick's story unfolds linearly, with logical character progression and clear development in the world around them. If you want to go all-in, combine the marathon with a themed evening. Animal print onesies? Check. Carrot cake? Yes, please. Shakira's "Try Everything" on repeat? Of course.
Let's be honest: Zootropolis is the kind of film that becomes richer with each rewatch. From the beautiful animation to the clever dialogues and deeper layers about identity, coexistence, and power this is a Disney blockbuster that isn't afraid to say something meaningful while making you laugh out loud. Ideal for an evening when you want something both light-hearted and thought-provoking.
What Else You Can Expect
Zootropolis is not just a film series; it's a universe in the making. With the upcoming sequel and rumors of spin-offs or a series on Disney+, it seems this world of anthropomorphic animals is only getting bigger. Imagine potential stories about other ZPD agents, new neighborhoods in the city, or even prequels about how Nick Wilde became such a smooth hustler.
Until then, a Zootopia movie marathon is the perfect way to (re)immerse yourself in this brilliantly animated world. Watching with friends? You can bet the discussion about your favorite district or who has the best sidekick (Clawhauser or Flash?) will kick off.
Let the Binge Begin
Whether you're watching for the sly humor, the detective twists, or just because you can't resist Judy's enthusiasm this marathon never disappoints. With Zootropolis 2 on the horizon, now is the perfect time to refresh your memory or bring new fans on board. Invite your friends over (or watch solo in your comfy hoodie), get your favorite snacks ready, and immerse yourself in one of the most original Disney worlds of the past decade.
Pop some popcorn. Dim the lights. Your binge starts here.
