Zootopia 2 load with a weight that the first part It lacked the need to live up to that wonderful, unexpected, and monstrous Disney production; not just for visual grandiosity—though that too—but for narrative ingenuity. That relentless script, stringing gag after gag and daring to address prejudice without patronizing, remains the inevitable point of comparison. The sequel, in a very respectable decision, tones down the festive tone to offer a more mature reading: where there was once euphoria, there is now prudence.
This isn't necessarily a flaw, because, in reality, the message about the fear of the differentThe power and manipulation are so subtle they seem to be written with kid gloves so as not to offend anyone, and the gags remain witty and effective, but they lack the same punch: it lacks the subversive, playful edge and freshness of the original. Furthermore, the new characters are, with a few exceptions like the snake, likeable caricatures but without much soul; and the climax resolves the conspiracy with the depth of a chapter of... The Furry Patrol.
Zootopia 2 It's a solid, coherent, well-structured, and professional return, even brave in some details, but also less memorable, and lacking the spark and heightened levels of madness that made it Zootopia A small miracle.
