First Look: Zootopia Shorts Coming to Disney+
Get ready to get reacquainted with your friends from Zootopia. Six years after the Academy Award-winning Zootopia was first released in theaters. Disney is taking fans back to the city of animals with a spinoff series. Zootopia+ is a NEW set of shorts that take place in the Zootopia universe offering a look at some of the characters weren’t as involved in the feature film.
The series will be making it’s debut in just two days and Disney is celebrating with a brand new teaser trailer.
The trailer gives viewers a look at the first all six of the shorts being released. You’ll delve deeper into the lives of some of the Oscar-winning feature film’s most intriguing residents. The series is directed by Josie Trinidad (Co-Head of Story Zootopia) and Trent Correy and produced by Nathan Curtis (Encanto.)
The episodes debut on November 9, 2022. Disney has given us a synopsis of each. These are as follows:
- Hopp on Board – When Judy boards the train from Bunny Burrow to Zootopia to begin her life as the big city’s first bunny cop, Stu and Bonnie’s youngest daughters, Molly hitches a ride atop the train, forcing the down-to-earth duo out of their comfort zone and into an action-packed rescue mission.
- The Real Rodents of Little Rodenita – Newly engaged, Fru Fru kicks off wedding planning with enthusiasm and flourish—at least until her scene-stealing cousin Tru Tru arrives to assume the role of Shrew of Honor. A battle for the spotlight ensues until a close call with a giant donut reveals that for better or worse, no one knows you better than family.
- Duke the Musical – After being wrangled and arrested in a giant donut—compliments of Officer Judy Hopps—clever criminal weasel Duke reevaluates his life, pondering where he went wrong—in song. In a musical aptly staged in his own mind, Duke contemplates how to go from a small time crook to the Big Time!
- The Godfather of the Bride – A touching tale about the powerful arctic shrew known as Mr. Big revisits Fru Fru’s big day when he delivers a revelatory father-of-the-bride speech. Taking guests back in time to his days as Mr. Small, a new immigrant to Zootopia, he imparts the wisdom he gained then about the importance of friends, family and community.
- So You Think You Can Prance – ZPD dispatcher Clawhauser persuades his boss, Chief Bogo, to audition for “So You Think You Can Prance.” The stakes are high as the ultimate prize is a dream-come-true opportunity to dance on stage with megastar pop sensation Gazelle.
- Dinner Rush – As super server Sam urgently tries to finish her restaurant shift to make a once-in-a-lifetime Gazelle concert, Flash and Priscilla show up at the last minute with hopes of a once-in-a-lifetime dinner.
