This Thanksgiving, Zootopia 2 brings audiences back to the mammalian metropolis first introduced in 2016's Zootopia, which won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. And Academy Award–winner Ke Huy Quan is joining the fun for the sequel!
Zootopia centered on the unlikely collaboration between bunny police officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and trickster fox Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman). By the end of the heralded buddy-comedy, the two became police partners. Now that the sequel has rolled around, viewers get to see how that partnership has evolved. And based on the trailer, it's clear that it still needs a lot of work.
Zootopia 2's trailer puts Judy and Nick in partners' therapy, run by supremely calm quokka Dr. Fuzzby (voiced by Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson). After just a few seconds together, Dr. Fuzzby calls out Judy's overbearing energy and Nick's emotional insecurity. Ouch.

Clearly, Judy and Nick have a lot to sort out if they're going to succeed as a duo. But the self-improvement might have to take a backseat to a new major case.
A pit viper named Gary De'Snake (voiced by Quan of Everything Everywhere All at Once) is hiding out in Zootopia. He's the first reptile to slither into the all-mammal city in ages, so naturally, his arrival wreaks havoc all over town, even though he claims he's just trying to help his family. Chief Bogo (voiced by Idris Elba) puts Judy and Nick on his trail, with a warning: If they can't find Gary, he'll split them up.
Watch the full trailer above to see Judy, Nick, and Gary in action, along with the return of some familiar faces. I'm talking Zootopia's DMV sloths, mafia shrews, and pop star Gazelle (voiced by Shakira). Given that "Try Everything" is a total bop, we can't wait to see what new bangers she's got cooking.
Zootopia 2 hits theaters Nov. 26.
