'Zootopia 2' Trailer Drops Officer Hopps Into a New Mystery Nearly 10 Years After the Original
The cast also includes Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster, Quinta Brunson and Shakira
The hit 2016 original won the Oscar for Best Animated FeatureThe wait is almost over for Zootopia fans, even if sloths still run the DMV.
On Tuesday, May 20, Disney unveiled the first teaser trailer for Zootopia 2 — nearly a decade after the Oscar-winning original film hit theaters in 2016.
According to a synopsis, this time Officer Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) "find themselves on the twisting trail of a great mystery when Gary De'Snake (Ke Huy Quan) arrives in Zootopia and turns the animal metropolis upside down."
"To crack the case, they must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before."
Fortune Feimster and Quinta Brunson will also be joining the cast of voice actors, with Shakira reprising her role as Gazelle from the 2016 original. The music superstar announced she'll be taking her talents back to Zootopia in a D23Brasil announcement in November.
"She's got a new look, a new song and of course, new dance moves," Shakira, 48, said at the time. "Just wait until you see what she and her tiger dancers have been working on. I know you're going to love it."
Director Jared Bush, who also wrote the script, said in a statement, 'We are beyond excited to welcome everyone back to the outrageous, expansive animal metropolis of Zootopia, and take audiences on a hilarious, wild ride into parts of the city we've never visited before. Whether it's the marshes of semi-aquatic mammals, the vast desert dunes or even greater mysteries beyond, our heroes Judy and Nick will meet a lot of new friends, and discover even more about the world, themselves and a brand-new snake in town."
Added director Byron Howard, 'The trailer features the original song 'ZUTU' by Zootopia's finest lemming techno group, LEMEEENS. Fresh from touring with superstar Gazelle as her opening act, members Hans-Peter, Gūnther, Spielt and their DJ Spaß created the song to mark the occasion and welcome the world back to the City of Zootopia!"
Zootopia 2 is in theaters Nov. 26.

Disney Stock Rides High as Analysts Say ‘Profits Are Back & Bigger than Ever'
Disney stock (DIS) has surged to new 52-week highs, with Jefferies upgrading the stock to Buy and pointing to strong tailwinds in parks, streaming, and cruises. Investor excitement is growing ahead of a packed July calendar, which includes fresh Marvel releases, new cruise rollouts, and the company's earnings report. Web traffic for Disney+ is soaring, and theme park bookings are beating expectations. Don't Miss TipRanks' Half-Year Sale Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Disney Stock Breaks Out as Technical Signals Flash Green The technical setup looks strong. Disney stock is consolidating near $124, and analysts are watching for a breakout. The IBD Composite Rating has climbed to 94 out of 99, and the stock's relative strength line has hit fresh highs. It's trading well above key moving averages, signalling momentum that could carry into earnings. Jefferies Analyst Sees $144 Price Target and Strong Growth Ahead James Heaney, CFA at Jefferies, upgraded Disney to Buy with a new price target of $144. His bullish case is based on accelerating revenue in the Parks and Experiences division, cruise expansion with two new ships, and improving Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) margins. Heaney expects the cruise business alone could add over $1 billion in revenue. Meanwhile, Disney's content slate including Zootopia 2 and Avatar 3, alongside ESPN's DTC launch, creates further upside. Heaney is a 5-star TipRanks analyst with a 20.2% average return and a 51% success rate. Bank of America Adds Fuel With $140 Target Jessica Reif Ehrlich at Bank of America Securities also maintained a Buy rating with a $140 price target in a report issued June 27. Her optimism is rooted in sequential improvements in the Parks and Experiences division, led by two new cruise ships expected to drive long-term revenue gains. She also flagged strength in the sports advertising sector and ongoing margin improvements in the DTC business. Ehrlich sees Disney's 2025 earnings per share guidance as realistic, with the parks segment expected to provide the foundational strength while DTC investment continues. Despite some box office underperformance, the analyst expects profitability to rise, supported by upcoming releases and a strengthened content pipeline. Investor Exit Draws Headlines but Not Panic Former Marvel chairman Ike Perlmutter reportedly sold his entire Disney stake, calling for a stock decline. But his exit hasn't stopped the rally. Analysts say recent moves suggest institutional support is still strong, and technicals remain bullish. Is Disney Stock a Good Buy? Analysts are firmly in Disney's corner. Out of 19 Wall Street analysts covering the stock over the past three months, 16 rate it a Buy, while three recommend Hold. No analysts suggest selling the stock. The average 12-month DIS price target is $129.24, implying a 4.66% upside from the current price of $123.49.

Get a taste of Anaheim Packing District on D23 Night
Since the Anaheim Packing District opened more than 10 years ago, the innovative space has been a model for other food halls and mixed-use spaces. The former 1919 Anaheim Orange and Lemon Assn. Packing House is home to nearly 30 culinary artisans and on the evening of Wednesday, July 16, diners will get the chance to sample a few of them during its annual World Taste event. Conceived as a celebration of the culinary diversity at the Anaheim food hall, World Taste takes place on Anaheim Packing District's D23 Night. In partnership with the official Disney Fan Club, special Disney activities are planned for the evening, including DJ Clark Chuka spinning Disney tracks and tunes at the Packing House and D23 Trivia and a Sip & Sketch at Unsung Brewing, located in the MAKE building. From 5 to 9 p.m. the international tasting event will host these activities alongside tastes from participating culinary artisans within the MAKE, Anaheim Packing House and Farmers Park. One ticket, priced at $49.77, includes seven taste experiences, allowing guests to create their own eat-your-own-adventure menu. This year, the event is also introducing a 'tiny taste' ticket, priced at $28.44 for kids that offers four tastes for smaller appetites. Nearly 20 vendors will participate in World Taste, including Black Sheep Grilled Cheese Bar, serving a sweet and savory Ohana grilled cheese with mozzarella, honey ham and bacon on grilled bread with a side of house made pineapple preserves, and Iron Press, which will be offering loco moco sliders. Guests can also look forward to hand-folded spicy shrimp wantons from 18 Folds and mini samosa chaat stuffed with chickpeas, chutney and cilantro from Adya Indian Flavors. Urbana Mexican Gastronomy will have crispy birria rolls available and ZeroZero 39 Pizzeria Anaheim will serve up Roman-style pizza by the slice. Some vendors will lean into the Disney theme, like Chippy Fish & Grill offering mouse-shaped beignets and Unsung Brewing pouring a poison green apple seltzer.

The Walt Disney Company (DIS): 'Stability Is Working,' Says Jm Cramer
We recently published . The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world. Its shares are up by 11% year-to-date primarily on the back of 34% in gains made since early May. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)'s shares soared after the firm's second-quarter earnings delivered the holy grail of metrics, streaming subscribers. The numbers saw the firm report 126 million subscribers which was higher than the 123.35 million that Wall Street had penciled in. In his previous remarks about The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), Cramer discussed how the firm is caught up in the generational divide between stock market investors. Here are his recent thoughts: 'Why doesn't Hugh Johnson get any credit [for improving performance], the CFO. Well look, the theme park's now [inaudible]. What's really interesting is they're now starting to talk about the cruise ships in 26′. I would have waited until 27′. But I do think that Disney had a great quarter, I think that Hugh Johnson plays a big role and James Gorman is going to play a big role. A packed theater of moviegoers watching a blockbuster film produced by the entertainment company. As for the generational divide, here's what Cramer said: 'We pivoted to interviewing Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, who traced out his plans now that the company owns all of Hulu. The stock was around $115 when Iger started talking, and by the end of the interview, at least partly by the day, it was at $118 and change. That's a tour de force performance, the kind of value added this network proudly provides. I felt great about it, but I could feel the contempt that many younger investors have for what I think is a very strong kind of journalism where we flesh out what really matters to an iconic big capitalization stock that has everything to do with linear television, ESPN, exciting movies, cruise ships, theme parks… Who doesn't want to know about that? Well, how about the people who just stopped going to Disney World with their parents, and it's the last place they would ever be caught dead at?' While we acknowledge the potential of DIS as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
