Here’s when and where you can stream the Shraddha Kapoor-voiced animated sequel

Disney’s Zootopia 2 is officially making the jump to digital after a record-breaking run in theatres that cemented its status as a worldwide phenomenon. Starting March 13, 2026, exclusively on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium), the animated sequel—including the much-anticipated Hindi dubbed version—will be available to stream for Indian fans. Along with the English version, the film will also be available in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in India, expanding its accessibility to a wider audience.

How did Zootopia 2 perform at the global box office?

After its November 26, 2025, theatrical release, Zootopia 2 blew away box office projections. At the global box office, the film has earned an incredible $1.861 billion as of March 2026. This accomplishment surpasses the records previously held by Inside Out 2 and the original Zootopia (2016), making it the highest-grossing animated film in history.

The film earned around ₹27.50 crore throughout its theatrical run in India, which is a respectable sum for an animated Hollywood film. Thanks to the local voice cast’s star power and the first installment’s ongoing success, the Hindi version was in high demand.

Who is the star behind the Hindi voice of Judy Hopps?

The return of Shraddha Kapoor, who voiced protagonist Judy Hopps in Hindi, is a big deal for Indian audiences. In India, the actor’s participation has played a major role in the film’s marketing campaign. Many have noted that she successfully embodies Ginnifer Goodwin’s original voice for the lively rabbit officer.

The story of the sequel begins with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman in English), who are now officially partners in the Zootopia Police Department (ZPD). The story introduces Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan as Gary De’Snake, a new and enigmatic reptile.

What new locations and themes does Zootopia 2 explore?

The two visit the “Marsh Market,” a previously unexplored area of the city that is home to reptiles. Tracing the city’s intricate past, the tale explores themes of bigotry and institutionalised corruption, reflected in a plot involving a prominent Lynx family. 

Zootopia 2 has been a commercial and critical smash, and it returns several beloved characters, including Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), Gazelle (Shakira), and Bellwether (Jenny Slate). It just took home the prize for Best Animated Feature at the 79th BAFTAs and is now in the running for the same title at the 98th Oscars. The film’s world-building and clever storytelling have earned high praise from critics, who also noted that it successfully expanded the universe while retaining the original’s comic tone.

Who directed Zootopia 2 and what is its streaming outlook?

It is the pinnacle of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ work, directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard. This Friday, the film will be available on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium), and from now until the summer, it will likely rule streaming charts.
