What makes a good animated film?

Zootropolis 2, the long awaited sequel to Zootropolis, is now Disney's biggest ever animated film.

It hit the big screen November 2025, and has made more than $1 billion worldwide already.

And it reached the $1 billion mark in 17 days, the fastest a PG-rated film has ever done so.

It earned $559.5 million in five days, making it not just the highest global opening for any animated film in Disney history, but also any animated film ever.

This means it's beaten Frozen 2, which previously held the record.

So people are clearly going out in huge numbers to see it, but what is it about these films that make them so popular?

Is it great music, cool visuals, or a gripping story? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Zootropolis 2 sees unlikely duo Nick Wilde (a fox) and Judy Hopps (a rabbit) come together once again to solve a mystery, hot on the trail of a slippery snake.

It's the sequel to the Oscar-winning original film, released in 2016.

Both of them take place in the city of Zootropolis where animals live together, but this time they explore some different parts of town.

Pop singer Shakira is also back with another hit song for the franchise, this time called 'Zoo'.

Zootropolis 2 is the latest in a long run of animated films, particularly sequels, that have done really well at the box office.
