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. The film revolves around the unexpected arrival of Gary De'Snake, a pit viper voiced by Ke Huy Quan, who is the first snake seen in Zootopia in a century. This mystery immediately captures the attention of rookie police officers Judy Hopps, voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin, and Nick Wilde, voiced by Jason Bateman. 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.
Ke Huy Quan and Fortune Feimster shared their enthusiasm for their respective characters and the film's positive messages. Quan, who initially harbored a fear of snakes, deliberately sought to overcome it before voicing Gary, engaging in social videos where he interacted with snakes. He expressed his fortune in being a Disney character and appreciated Gary's role in bringing heart and the value of family to the movie. Quan highlighted the film's invitation for audiences to be open-minded and avoid judgment based on stereotypes, echoing a powerful message from the first 'Zootopia'.
Fortune Feimster found great freedom in portraying Nibbles Maplestick, particularly in being encouraged by director Jared Bush to go
