Disney’s animated hit Zootopia 2 has officially crossed $1 billion at the global box office, becoming one of the biggest movie successes of 2025. The sequel to the hugely popular 2016 film Zootopia reached this milestone in only 17 days after its release, making it the fastest PG-rated and animated film ever to hit $1 billion worldwide.
Zootopia 2 opened in theatres on November 26, 2025, and has been drawing audiences around the world with its mix of humour, heart, and adventure. The story brings back Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) as they solve a new mystery in the bustling animal city of Zootopia. Fans and critics have praised the film’s animation, characters, and its lively yet thoughtful storytelling.
The movie also enjoyed a powerful start at the box office, setting the highest global opening weekend for an animated film and the biggest worldwide debut of the year. A strong performance in international markets, especially in China, where it broke multiple records, helped propel the movie past the billion-dollar mark.
This success places Zootopia 2 in an exclusive group of animated films that have reached $1 billion, a list that includes Frozen, Frozen II, Moana 2, and the original Zootopia. It also marks Disney Animation Studios’ fifth billion-dollar title since 2013.
Producers, cast members, and Disney officials celebrated the achievement, saying it shows audiences still value shared experiences in cinemas. The film has also boosted interest in the Zootopia franchise on streaming platforms, where the original movie and related shorts remain popular.
Overall, Zootopia 2’s success underlines the continued global appeal of animated films and Disney’s ability to connect with families and fans of all ages.
