LOS ANGELES — Disney’s “Zootopia 2” is dominating the box office and is expected to take in nearly $150 million over the Thanksgiving weekend.
The sequel to the Oscar-winning animated film takes us back to the mammal metropolis – right where we left off.
With 71 celebrity voices, there are some new characters in the mix.
Nibbles Maplestick
Comedian Fortune Feimster comes to the world of Zootopia as an eager beaver podcaster who helps Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) with a case.
“I got emotional watching the movie because I thought about my 10-year-old self growing up in small Belmont, North Carolina. Growing up on Disney movies, I never thought I would be in this position, so it’s a pretty special experience to get to do this,” said Feimster.
Gary De’Snake
Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan joins the cast as the misunderstood pit viper Gary De’Snake.
“I grew up on Disney animated films,” he said. “It’s made a huge impact on my childhood, so to get to be a Disney character and have your own merchandise and also be a part of this huge family where you’re going to have a positive influence on the next generation. That is something every actor hopes to be a part of.”
Hundreds of people – about 700 to be exact – helped bring the movie to life, from storyboard artists to animators.
“All of us love working together, but we each have these strong suits and we rely on one another, and that’s something that I think is very special to this trio,” said Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios Jared Bush. “I think we really trust one another, and we like to have fun, and I think you see that in the movie.”
“Zootopia 2” is in theaters now.
Disney is the parent company of this ABC station.
