‘Zootopia2’ is racing ahead on Disney+, hopping to 32 million views globally in its first seven days, making it the top film on the streaming platform during its premiere week. Its arrival on the service builds on the enduring popularity of the franchise — together, ‘Zootopia’, ‘Zootopia+’, and ‘Zootopia 2’ have been streamed over 885 million hours globally to date.
The film’s strong debut on Disney+ (in India it can be viewed on JioHotstar) follows in its huge theatrical pawprint. It shattered box office records, becoming the highest grossing animated MPA release of all time with $1.9 billion worldwide, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film ever and the No.1 US domestic release of 2025, The Walt Disney Company said in a media statement late last week.
The sequel’s success continues the legacy of the original ‘Zootopia’, which captivated fans around the globe and won an Oscar for the Best Animated Feature Film in 2017. Quoting Nielsen data, Disney said ‘Zootopia’ ranks as the No. 7 movie on Disney+ of all time and has been one of the most-streamed movies across all platforms in the US for three out of the last six years.
The world of ‘Zootopia’ has expanded beyond the screen as well. In 2023, the Shanghai Disney Resort opened the first Zootopia-themed land, introducing guests to the Mammalian Metropolis and bringing the beloved animal residents of the film to life. Its signature attraction, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, is the highest-rated attraction at Shanghai Disneyland, with one in four guests stating they came to the park specifically for the land.
Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the park also rapidly integrated new content inspired by ‘Zootopia 2’, debuting the film’s latest Gazelle song with one of the newest Audio-Animatronics just weeks after the film’s theatrical release. Plus, guests go wild for the food too .
The animated feature has also sparked strong fan engagement across consumer products and global retail, igniting viral demand for collectibles, blind boxes, and collaborations with brands such as Pop Mart, Miniso, Tony Moly, and Uniqlo.
