edroger3 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The problem is that Zootopia is, basing on the cinematic success, one of the Disney's biggest failure in toys/licensing market. So the other division of Disney business empire and their commercial partners don't put pressure on developing the brand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 If they don't mention anything about Zootopia at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it might be a long wait for a sequel. Or maybe D23 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) With Disney announcing a ton of new release dates today, I got all the more excited for a Zootopia sequel. Probably going to take a long time, though. I wonder if it's even on the drawing board. Though, if they go with the 6-year gap that Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen have, it's going to be 2022.

It took them a while to announce a Frozen sequel. I could see something similar happening to a Zootopia sequel, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have something scheduled in 2021, and I have a feeling that it's the Lin-Manuel Miranda/Byron Howard project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it's probably the Lin-Manuel Miranda / Bryon Howard film, it seems the most likeliest out of Disney's upcoming projects to be announced soon.

cannastop Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 The fate of a sequel might depend on this lawsuit: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/zootopia-lawsuit-plot-similarities-detailed-by-writer-suing-disney-1010715 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I doubt it. If by some chance this lawsuit actually does hold Disney will just pay some chump change in damages and maybe give him a cut of the royalties. If they want to do a sequel they'll find a way to make it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Disney filed for a dismissal of the lawsuit a few weeks ago, don't think anyone posted it in the main Zootopia thread: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/disney-seeks-dismissal-zootopia-copyright-lawsuit-1006641. I agree with @tribefan695, if they can't get the lawsuit dismissed they'll settle out of court for some undisclosed amount of chump change. If they actually proceed to fight the lawsuit instead of settling it'll be because they are very, very confident of winning. In any case, I don't think it'll be a factor in whether there's a sequel or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have to be far enough along that they were 100% confident of its eventual release. There were unofficial statements by people working on WIR2 that it was in development in 2014 and 2015 but no official announcement until 2016. P.S. Congrats on winning derby! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 THR just posted a more detailed article on the dismissal of the Zootopia lawsuit: Disney Wins Dismissal of 'Zootopia' Copyright Lawsuit (For Now). Has a link to the full decision as well: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3892334-Zootopia-Order.html If I understand correctly, this is the final written ruling confirming the earlier tentative decision after the June 26 hearing. It says that a first amended complaint (if any) must be filed by Goldman/Esplanade by July 24. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Well, there's always 2019. We'll probably have to wait at least 5 years for this to come out at all. Edited July 15, 2017 by cannastop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
