Ke Huy Quan's Epic Triumph: Conquering Fear for Zootopia 2 Role!

Walt Disney Animation Studios' highly anticipated sequel, 'Zootopia 2', marks a significant return to the beloved animal metropolis, introducing new characters and deepening the bonds of existing ones.

Their investigation into Gary's past and family leads them to discover a sweet, lovable reptile, challenging preconceived notions and reinforcing the film's core message of open-mindedness.

Alongside Gary, the sequel introduces Nibbles Maplestick, voiced by Fortune Feimster, who transforms from a skeptical conspiracy podcaster into a big-hearted and integral member of the team. The movie, which took a decade to produce, is lauded for its blend of humor and heartfelt moments, emphasizing themes of friendship and the importance of family. The collaboration between Judy, Nick, Gary, and Nibbles forms a dynamic foursome, highlighting the strength found in working together and the profound meaning of their friendships.
