Zootropolis 2 (PG) Film Review from LondonNet
Welcome back to the jungle. Byron Howard and Jared Bush return to the directors’ chairs for a joyful, intrigue-laden squeakquel that effortlessly recaptures the animal magic of the Oscar-winning 2016 animated feature set in a colourful world of anthropomorphic critters, who are determined to get along. Bush’s knockabout script is crammed with almost as many visual gags and in-jokes as the original including a cameo for mouse Remy from Ratatouille and cheeky nods to The Silence Of The Lambs and The Shining that will glide over young heads but delight movie-savvy teens and parents…
One week has passed since rabbit police officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and con artist fox Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) exposed the skullduggery of Zootropolis’s ewe assistant mayor Dawn Bellwether (Jenny Slate) and ushered in a new era of cross-species collaboration. Now paired as crime-fighting partners at the Zootropolis Police Department under Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), Judy and Nick forcefully insert themselves into a sting operation down by the docks. Their clumsy intervention leads to a PR disaster for the new mayor, former action movie star Brian Winddancer (Patrick Warburton), who made his name with The Neighsayer franchise.
As punishment, Judy and Nick submit to couples counselling led by quokka therapist Dr Fuzzby (Quinta Brunson). Soon after, evidence emerges that blue venomous pit viper Gary De’Snake (Ke Huy Quan) is at large in Zootropolis. The fanged reptile threatens the upcoming zootennial gala to celebrate 100 years since lynx Milton Lynxley (David Strathairn) and his powerful clan invented the weather walls that divide and artificially sustain meteorological conditions in the biomes including Rainforest District, Sahara Square and Tundratown. Judy and Nick’s reputations hinge on apprehending Gary and they reluctantly enlist help from conspiracy theorist beaver Nibbles Maplestick (Fortune Feimster), host of the Scales & Tales Of The Weird podcast.
Zootropolis 2 is the bee’s knees, following the template of the first film to orchestrate a wild goose chase (in the best possible sense) across different biomes that reaffirms the power of judging all creatures great and small by their words and deeds, not their appearance. Goodwin and Bateman reprise their bickering double-act with gusto and elicit a few tears too in a surprisingly moving second act. Ironically monikered three-toed sloth Flash from the Department of Mammal Vehicles returns for a terrific visual gag and the small-time weasel criminal selling bootleg DVDs on the streets of Zootropolis has updated his cheeky inventory. Voice cast also conceals delightful surprises – yes, Michael J The Fox is brought to life by his namesake.
Pop diva Gazelle (Shakira) shakes her haunches to a new song Zoo, which promotes self-expression (“We’re wild and we can’t be tamed!”) and boasts Ed Sheeran as one of the writers. Directors Howard and Bush canter through impeccably animated set pieces with confidence and brazenly kick the barn door open for more close encounters of the feathered and furry kind in the future. We are better zoogether.
