There were several new clips sharing Zootopia 2 footage revealed at the panel today at the Annecy Festival. This movie picks up from where the first one leaves off, and it's all about whether Judy and Nick have what it takes to stay together. They're working undercover for an assignment which goes terribly in a car chase that was extremely dangerous. Bogo blames their differences in style for that.

Bogo seems worried and says, "Take it seriously!" He sends Judy and Nick to the partner therapy. The therapist is a Quokka named Dr. Fuzzby. Judy finds out that Gary De'Snake, a snake voiced by Ke Huy Quan, is planning to steal a historical book from a party where it will get displayed. Judy and Nick infiltrate the party and realize the snake might not be the villain after all and that the book might be able to clear the snake's bad reputation. They help the snake escape and become fugitives. It's also known that the Lxyleys' grandfather wrote the book.

Mayor Winddancer, who is an actor horse turned politician, is introduced. Nick and Judy are on the run and meet a criminal family made up of Arctic Shrews who give them new clothes and identities. Nick and Judy go to the reptile expert named Nibbles, who tries to gain more information on the book for them. The case is a lot more dangerous than they anticipated as they discover that the villain has already killed someone for the book. Two police officers who are French goats are introduced, with one of them being voiced by Jean Reno.

A second clip was shown which shows Nick and Judy going to the dock where all the sea animals live to find Gary De'Snake. The police end up chasing Nick and Judy while they're chasing Gary. They end up following Gary into an extremely long waterslide where they might run out of air.

The Arctic Shrews' criminal family consists of Mr Big, his wife Fru Fru and his daughter Judith.
