“Zootopia 2” Becomes Most Watched Movie On Disney+ In Its Premiere Week

Earlier this month, Disney released its latest animated box office hit film, “Zootopia 2”, on Disney+ around the world.  

The film tells the story of two rookie cops, Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman), who find themselves on the twisting trail of a great mystery when Gary De’Snake (voice of Ke Huy Quan) arrives in Zootropolis and turns the animal metropolis upside down. To crack the case, Judy and Nick must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before.

“Zootopia 2” has already been a massive box-office hit, pulling in almost $2 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association (MPA) release of all time, ranking as the eighth-highest-grossing film ever, and the #1 domestic release of 2025.

That success continues on Disney+, as it’s been revealed that the film has already pulled in 32 million views globally within the first seven days, making it the #1 film on Disney+ during its premiere week. Its arrival on 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 sequel’s success continues the legacy of the original “Zootopia”, which captivated fans around the globe and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2017. “Zootopia” ranks as the #7 movie on Disney+ of all time and has been one of the most-streamed movies across all platforms in the U.S. for three out of the last six years, according to Nielsen.

Roger’s Take:  It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to see that the biggest movie of the year and the biggest box office success of any animated film by Disney, was going to be popular on Disney+.  No doubt, that this film will continue to be a juggernaut for years to come, highlighting the power of Disney’s strong brands.
