Disney (via Toonado.com) has released a final trailer for Zootopia 2, and it features plenty of fun new footage from the animated sequel, as well as an all-new original song, “Zoo,” performed by pop superstar Shakira, who also returns as the voice of Gazelle.
The story focuses on returning cop partners Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) as they encounter a mysterious pit viper, Gary De’Snake (Ke Huy Quan).

The first movie proved to be a huge hit for Disney, taking in $1.024 billion worldwide against a production budget of $150 million.
