'Zootopia 2' Review: Disney Animation's Return to Animal-Run Concrete Jungle Shines with Sharper Claws in Studio's Best Sequel Yet
If they don’t have that fox and bunny make-out sloth-py style in the next film, I'm rioting against Disney Animation.
www.rendyreviews.com
ZOOTOPIA 2 is undeniably the best Disney Animation sequel to date. Bigger, sharper, and so darn funny. Nick and Judy got that 'Mulder and Scully' level of hot tension going on and I hate how I need them to kiss. Disney got me going feral on main now.

Girl just give Oscar already. And Grammy. It’s Joever. Hell Macy’s Parade is not even a competition and yet EJAE, Rei, and Audrey won. This performance ate so hard, I fear everyone who performs after. Wow.

Wait they just announced Skyler Gisondo and Marcello Hernandez as Shrek & Fiona’s sons Fergus & Farkle alongside Zendaya’s Felicia for Shrek 5. Like that wasn’t even announced anywhere.
Did I just get new movie news via Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade?!

I don’t know how else to say this but Lil Jon doing Turn Down For What on a Toys R Us float in 2025 is such a recession indicator.

Didn't expect a Shaggy medley in my #MacysParade. Also love that it's a series of "can we sing this with a TVPG rating?"

A rural generational house of sorrow is no den for a wild stallion.
Was enthralled by Jennifer Lawrence's primal performance in Die My Love. Not my favorite Ramsey, but had me think about derealization when out of our element.

'Predator: Badlands' is a decent Predator installment that pushes the series in a sharp direction, though it suffers as Trachtenberg’s ambitions seem constrained by studio conventions.

Having such a bad case of New Yorker main character syndrome. Had to catch myself from questioning all my friends from other states posting their 'I Voted' stickers, "Wait, how do you get to vote for Zohran too? You don't live here."

After growing up with bitch mayors who used fear-mongering as a means to turn NYC into a prison, especially in marginalized, working-class communities, it’s exciting to, by today, have a mayor who cares about his people and not exploiting us for his pockets. Let’s go Zohran.
