Disney’s Zootopia 2 tackles tough issues with humor and heart

Early in Zootopia 2,the Zootopia Police Department celebrates ambitious bunny cop Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and her fox con-artist-turned-police-partner Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) for their role in ending stereotyping forever. It’s a tongue-in-cheek way to remind viewers of the core theme of carnivore-vs.-herbivore prejudice at the heart of 2016’s Zootopia, while also acknowledging the continuing interspecies bigotry that justify a sequel.
