""The two of us are half-smart so I think the dynamic is we need two of us to just get to a baseline that most people have," Bush joked. "That's right," agreed Howard. "Left brain, right brain, yeah, it's a good point. In all honesty, we are a really good partnership because we trust each other and we share our sense of humor, our sense of storytelling.""
""The comedy I think is a big part of why the first movie worked," added Howard. "And so I think we really wanted to be true to that. At the same time, we want people to get all the feels, like that's what we want. I get the most emotional in my life when I go to the movies and I see characters feeling something.""
Jared Bush and Byron Howard co-direct Zootopia 2, leading a team of hundreds at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return as rookie police officers partnered to investigate a mysterious pit viper named Gary De'Snake. Jason Bateman voices Nick, Ginnifer Goodwin voices Judy, and Ke Huy Quan voices Gary. The directors frame their collaboration as complementary, blending left- and right-brain approaches, shared humor, and storytelling instincts. The film preserves the original's comedy while pursuing strong emotional beats and expansive worldbuilding that supports many potential stories. Zootopia 2 opens in theaters Nov. 26. The original Zootopia won the 2017 Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
