EXCLUSIVE: 'Zootopia 2' deleted scene reveals Nick and Judy in an alternative opening

Disney's beloved animated series, Zootopia, has been thrilling audiences for years with its lovable characters and intricate storylines. The sequel to the original hit film is set to release on January 27 in digital format and March 3 on DVD and Blu-ray.

For die-hard fans of the franchise, there's some exciting news ahead. In an exclusive interview with On The Red Carpet, a deleted scene from Zootopia 2 has been revealed, offering a glimpse into an alternate version of the film's opening scene.

In this alternate opening, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) and Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) team up to bust a smuggler at the airport. Although the final cut of the scene played out at the docks, fans will love seeing how the animation process works behind the scenes.

Zootopia 2 follows fan-favorite characters Nick and Judy on their new mission as they track down Gary De'Snake (Ke Huy Quan), who becomes the main suspect in a case that requires them to go undercover. The movie marks another milestone for the franchise, solidifying its position as the highest-grossing animated film of all time.

To celebrate this achievement and give fans a deeper look into the making of Zootopia 2, Disney has curated some fantastic bonus features on the digital release. These include behind-the-scenes moments from featurettes such as "The Zookeepers," where animators Jared Bush and Byron Howard discuss their creative process; interviews with the voice cast about their experiences portraying beloved characters; a special episode featuring animator Benson Shum drawing Nibbles, the new beaver character in the film; ssssurprising references to other Disney movies hidden throughout Zootopia 2; hilarious recording sessions where actors bring their characters to life; and even a behind-the-scenes look at how snacks are delivered to the studio staff.

Zootopia 2's soundtrack features the popular single "Zoo," performed by Shakira, which has garnered over 500 million streams worldwide.
