Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin hop back into a world of animated animal fun with sequel ‘Zootopia 2’

Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin are back as Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps in “Zootopia 2.” They once again voice the lead characters for this new Disney animated adventure.

This time around, Nick and Judy, who are partners in the Zootopia Police Department, are out to solve another big case.

For its stars, just being involved in the film is an incredible creative adventure, especially since it’s hard to even visualize the result when they’re recording their lines.

“You’ve done just a voice part and then you see how it slots into something that is so complicated, so immense. I think they said 700 people were on this crew,” said Bateman. “So, it’s very humbling because you’re such a small part of something so massive.”

“I was hanging out with one of my Judy animators and they fully, like, act out our scenes but to our recordings,” said Goodwin. “They become another layer of human study to then put into the character so, we’re like amalgamations of multiple people. It’s really cool!”

When it comes to products connected to “Zootopia 2,” there are plenty – but it seems Goodwin is transfixed on one.

“I keep going through McDonald’s drive-through because I want to get a Judy toy. I’ve gotten five Nicks. Five Nicks!” Goodwin said. “I’m determined to get a Judy.”

“Zootopia 2” is in theaters on Wednesday, Nov. 26.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
