Zootopia 3 Release Date Estimate, News & Updates

by

Now that Zootopia 2 is playing in theaters, many fans are eager to find out if a third Zootopia movie is planned and when it might be released. The strong opening weekend of the second film has only increased this excitement.

This comedy series features a world where animals act like humans. It centers around Judy Hopps, a cheerful rabbit police officer, and Nick Wilde, a cunning fox and former con artist, who eventually becomes her partner.

Let’s dive into the possible release date for Zootopia 3.

What is the Zootopia 3 release date estimate?

We’re currently estimating that Zootopia 3 will be released between 2028 and 2030. This timeline is based on how long it typically takes to produce animated movies.

Creating an animated movie is a lengthy process, typically taking three to five years. This is due to the many stages involved, including planning, writing, storyboarding, and the actual animation – each of which requires a substantial amount of time. Therefore, a release date between 2028 and 2030 seems very probable.

Currently, Disney hasn’t officially approved Zootopia 3, so production hasn’t started. If Disney delays giving the go-ahead, the movie might not be released until between 2029 and 2032.

I’m still hoping for a Zootopia sequel, and it sounds like the filmmakers might be too! They dropped a hint about a potential story idea in the credits after the movie, which has definitely got me excited about what could happen next.

A feather briefly appears on Judy’s window, hinting at the possibility of intelligent birds – a concept never before explored in the series and potentially setting up a future story.
