You think they'll replace the Flik animatronic at the beginning of the show with anything too?

If his spot isn't just a hole I'd bet there's now a screen fitted there

Would be pretty easy to have a simple Gary de'Snake character pop down at parts and would tie into Zootopia 2

Clawhouser will be where Hopper Stood so..Probably not.

Speaking of eyelids, I hope they give Clawhouser actual eyes instead of projections.

The project name for this show is Baboon. Someone on the project team must like Baboons.

The project name for this show is Baboon.

BAB = shortened version of ITTBAB, as in a shortened version of the show for the limited attention spans of the modern audience

OON = an abbreviation for a phrase that those of you who paid attention in Latin class will remember roughly translates to "is returning to Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2026"

I know you’re joking but the new show is 9 minutes. Wasn’t the old show…9 minutes?

Yep. Zootopia is the same as Bug.

 

[JPPT1974]

Well hopefully it is the best 9 minutes spent on time!

Moving this to the correct thread:

I don't see how that restricts having a show about real animals? Real bugs don't have talent shows either.

You can have made almost the same show where various animals "came onstage" to show their unique talents. Could have featured things like a cheetahs speed, platypus... being a platypus, echolocation, hibernation, super hearing, gliding, armored skin, etc etc. The list goes on

Can't say that will be exactly that but...

Disney has announced Zootopia: Better Zoogether! opens November 7, 2025.

Hear from the creatives at Walt Disney Imagineering:

You know, the idea of Zootopia
0:32
came about because the filmmakers
0:34
actually did a lot of work researching
0:35
animal characteristics at Disney's
0:37
Animal Kingdom.

We really wanted to tell
0:39
a story that celebrated what we all know
0:41
Animal Kingdom now represents, which is
0:42
that people, animals, and nature are all
0:45
connected in this fundamental way.

And

Zootopia: Better Zoogether! is a reminder that the natural world is profoundly interconnected, and we are no exception.
We are called to take actions and make choices that benefit our worlds – from Savanna Central and Tundratown to the far-flung corners of our beautiful planet.
So, get ready to slither, crawl, stampede and swim to Walt Disney World this November … all Zoogether!

I’m guessing you’ve never seen the movie because there is a whole scene that takes place in a nudist sanctuary, the joke being that we see animals naked all the time. But the movie is not straight up animals for humans. The world and history that was created goes out of its way to explain these animals have evolved from their primitive forms, and the rural and city areas are all created to accommodate the different animals, not humans.

Attitude is important. If people fixate on the "anthro" part, they will not see the animal part.

 

[Prince-1]

It’s a process.

Correct more or less that. We are saying the same thing.

I will unregard this and move along.

Correct, I’m not trying to go against it. I’m just saying what it is and will happen

It won’t have cars obviously but think concept only.

Hey just checking if you’re still 100% certain that It’s Tough to be a Bug is still coming back.

It’s been awhile since you’ve guaranteed that it was definitely going to happen.

You had me thinking he had come back. Getting my hopes up for nothing

There’s always the chance that Nick Wilde gets himself in trouble and this is canceled. Wouldn’t be the first furry to get in trouble.

I mean, maybe some of you prefer your fox looking like they just took a gummy…. But the updated one seems a bit more with it to me
