Mojoguy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Now that I think about it, maybe they'll delay production on Stephen Anderson's movie and go with 2020 for Zootopia 2. What the hell is a Stephen Anderson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannastop Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Oh, and here's an interesting comment from CEO Iger: https://ditm-twdc-us.storage.googleapis.com/q3_fy16_earnings_transcript.pdf on page 29: Quote And then of course we have recently with Zootopia had some real success at Disney Animation, which gives us a new franchise to mine. The creative people at WDAS want a sequel, and the C-Suite wants a sequel. It's coming sooner than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenstate5 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I think a sequel will happen, but a series is inevitable. Disney Television Animation is running a marathon right now with Milo Murphy's Law, the DuckTales reboot, Tangled (god what a bizarre idea but they need to keep the franchise alive!) and BH6 among their existing series, so a Zootopia TV show is probably back-burner stuff, but it wouldn't shock me if the show debuted in 2019 with a full-on sequel in 2021/2022. The world building of Zootopia is too rich not to explore it in such an in-depth manner. Of course, one wonders how it would connect to the sequel. If they want to address Nick and Judy's relationship (for the record I'd rather them stay friends, but the possible allegorical subtext is probably too rich for Byron especially to ignore), then obviously a show would be a huge lead if that chooses to address that issue. It's pretty easy to surmise that once you let the cat out of the bag that any one of the two may have romantic feelings for the other, then you've played your hand. Unless it pulls a Bojack Horseman and one of the characters is revealed to be asexual, but I disgress! (I think one of the deleted scenes that heavily hinted towards Nick and Judy being possibly seen as a couple is a huge clue in the direction they would take on this, but again... I disgress...) Anyways, they have to choose if they're going to do both or just one. And I don't see either of the two not happening. But this could be a fascinating experiment in Disney franchising if the directors choose to build upon the series instead of ignore it like DWA does with their's.

cannastop Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 @goldenstate5 I don't think they'll go with a TV show for Zootopia. Shows aren't as lucrative as movies, and it would cheapen the name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has never stopped them before It's likely a pipe dream but it would be cool if they tried for a serial format with multi episode character arcs, not a case of the week as I fear they might 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the one other film we know is going to have a theatrical sequel, Wreck-It Ralph, also doesn't have a TV show. And a sequel for Tangled has been definitively ruled out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows aren't as lucrative as movies, and it would cheapen the name. Yeah, it's a good thing that other Disney films didn't ever become TV show--- oh wait sorry a ton have. Frozen has a TV special coming up, Toy Story has had a few. Tangled has a show, BH6 has a show. In the 90s and 00s these films had TV shows: Little Mermaid, Lion King (now 2!!!), Aladdin, Toy Story, Hercules, Emperor's New Groove, Lilo and Stitch. Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, Atlantis had a few episodes produced made into DTV movies. (bewilders me that they never did anything with Mulan) One of their most underrated 90s films, A Goofy Movie, is based on the Goof Troop series. Snow White, The Jungle Book (2!!!), 101 Dalmatians, Winnie the Pooh (multiple!!!) have all also been made into TV series. Two of Disney's other huge franchise, Star Wars and Marvel have multiple TV series ongoing. So, I don't think those are cheapening the name, and they're making money. I think if done well, a Zootopia TV series would prove to be very lucrative in addition to a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 There was a Beauty and the Beast TV show? Wow, missed that... I'm actually surprised that besides Star Darlings and Descendants (yeah.) There's no Disney Animated Webisode things. 3 minute Flash Animated stories with Judy and Nick would be cool. There are so many damn Star Wars shows currently airing it actually irritates me. But I just ignore them and live my life. Loved the hell out of the Tarzan one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course the real TV shows were: Beauty and the Beast (1987) and Beauty and the Beast (2012). Neither were by Disney though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Huh. That is legit news to me. I've even seen that weird Christmas movie but not those. For some reason I thought Yoda's Tales and Droid Tales (which I love) were still airing alongside Freemaker and Rebels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yoda does a special every so often. I kind of separate the Lego shows off into Lego, and don't really associate it Star Wars. Don't like Freemaker though.
