Is Zootropolis 2 On Disney+ In The UK?

No, not yet. Zootropolis 2 is out to buy and rent in the UK today, but not on Disney+. It will likely land on the Disney+ streaming service later in the year. No official date has been announced yet, but some sources are speculating it will land in late February or March 2026.

Others suggest it'll most likely drop after the 3 March disc release, so potentially early-to-late March

If you need a guaranteed at-home watch date today, digital purchase or rental is the only confirmed option.

What's The Film About (And Who's In It)?

The sequel follows on from the hugely successful Zootropolis and is the second film in the franchise. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) investigate a reptilian mystery in the animal metropolis in this instalment. It's directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, with Bush also credited as writer.
