Zootopia 2 Races Back With a Leaner Runtime Than the 2016 Original
Zootopia 2 has locked its official runtime—and it’s leaner than the 2016 original. Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin return as Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps when Disney’s long-awaited sequel hits theaters November 26, according to AMC Theaters.
Zootopia 2 finally has a runtime, and yes, it is basically as long as the first one. The sequel hits theaters November 26, and AMC Theatres lists it at 107 minutes. That is 1 hour and 47 minutes, which makes it just one minute shorter than 2016's Zootopia. So if you were hoping for a breezy 90 or an epic 2-hour beast, nope — Disney is sticking to what worked.
What they are actually doing this time
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back on the job, but their partnership is wobbly enough that Chief Bogo orders them into something called a Partners in Crisis counseling program. Before they can kumbaya their way through that, a venomous snake shows up in the city and drags them into a new, twisty case.
