On November 28, it will be released in cinemas.Zootopia 2‘, he The latest release from Disney Which he has again Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde Like Heroes follows the same world and story as the first game, based on an urban world of anthropomorphic animals. The success it means at the Spanish box office with more than $3.1 million in its first weekend, in addition to the $556 million it made globally, with only $156 million between the US and Canada, makes it one of the best premieres of 2025 and animated films of all history.

Zootopia 2However, it is not only a film that draws from its predecessor, but also from other stories Disney They are reminiscent of, or loosely related to, the adventures of Judy and Nick, and range from modern feature films to historical films.


“Robin Hood” (1973)

There is no movie Disney It does not have its own theory, and although some of them are far-fetched, others have explanations and explanations, and in this aspect it could be what brings together “Zootropolis” with “Robin Hood”, the classic that adapted the English legend, by ensuring that both are in the same universe.

Both films feature anthropomorphic animals, with a clear touch of humor and social satire, and also have the same visual style, and with characters reminiscent of those in the classic film, from Nick Wilde who remembers the outlaw to the lion who holds important positions or the wolves who represent danger. The truth is that creative people Byron Howard and Rich MooreThey did not deny that “Robin Hood” had no clear influence on the creation of the world of “Zootopia.”


“Basil, the Super Mouse Detective” (1986)

It is probably one of those films that is not remembered at all. DisneyIn the decade of the 1980s, it was in crisis until the arrival of “The Little Mermaid,” but “Basil, the Super Police Mouse” was a risky project with a kind of adaptation to… Sherlock Holmes In the world of anthropomorphic animals in one of the darkest stories on a visual level. However, like the second part of Zootropolis, it is an exciting film, with complex animals with human emotions and feelings, with action, mystery and humor as well, with a more adult story.


“Chicken Little” (2005)

But if we talk about a Disney title with an irreverent sense of humor, it is “Chicken Little”, in which we also experience an anthropomorphic society in a modern city, and although its themes are different, several species of animals live in the same world, where they learn to appreciate their differences.


“Todd and Toby” (1981)

Nick Wilde is currently one of the Disney heroes in the form of a fox, like Robin Hood, but another one of the characters who was also this animal was Tod from “Tod and Toby”, a beautiful story about the friendship between a fox and a hound, who become friends as puppies. A relationship that must derive biases, which is also related to “Zootropolis” because it represents a story in which there is a “prey versus predator” dynamic, roles formed by society and in which they both propose to break stereotypes, although with a different approach.


“Brother Bear” (2003)

In this same sense of breaking down prejudices by adopting animal heroes, also falls the movie “Brother Bear”, which presents a message about coexistence and understanding, not only between species, but also with an emphasis on humans, all with emotion, but with scenes with a clear sense of humour. Thus, this film shares this social metaphor with the world of “Zootropolis.”
