Zootopia 3 was officially announced at D23, confirming Disney is already developing the next animated sequel.
Disney shared almost no story details for Zootopia 3, but teased “feathery friends” as part of the new adventure.
No Zootopia 3 release date, cast, or plot specifics were revealed during the Disney Entertainment Showcase announcement.
After Zootopia 2 became Disney’s highest-grossing animated film, a Zootopia 3 announcement felt inevitable.

Zootopia 3 is in the works and has been announced at D23. Disney announced that the sequel is coming to the stage at the Disney Entertainment Showcase tonight. That is pretty much all we know. No release date, no cast, and not much was said about the story, though they teased some "feathery friends" in the film as well, so do what you will with that information. Our own Kaitlyn Booth is breaking all sorts of news in her live blog tonight, as she is in the room where it is all happening and bringing you as much info as she can. Go give it all a read.
