What's the Story?

ZOOTOPIA+ allows viewers to revisit Zootopia in an extra comedic way. Each episode follows a mini-adventure of one of the characters from the original Zootopia movie and embeds their new story into the events of the movie, at the beginning or the end of each episode. We learn more about the lives of fan favorites, such as Stu and Bonnie, Fru Fru, and Chief Bongo, in this series. They tackle everyday issues that put their sense of adventure, imagination, and teamwork to the test. In Zootopia, you never know what to expect next!

Is It Any Good?

Our review:

Parents say (1):

Kids say (2):

Comical, bright, and entertaining are all words to describe this action-packed series. Zootopia+ is a fun way to revisit the beloved world that captured viewers' hearts and minds in 2016. While the show doesn't primarily feature the movie's central characters, Judy and Nick, lots of other familiar characters fill the screen and bring a smile to viewers' faces. Some grown-up but still appropriate humor is inserted to make adults laugh during co-viewing.
