Zootopia: Better Zoogether! opens Nov. 7 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and a 4D show full of music, laughs, and fun.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is about to get a wild new addition that’s sure to have fans clapping their paws and clicking their claws. Walt Disney World announced that starting November 7, 2025, guests can step into the lively metropolis of Zootopia with the all-new Zootopia: Better Zoogether! 4D show, debuting inside the Tree of Life Theater.
This high-energy attraction invites guests to celebrate Zoogether Day, a festival of unity that showcases the incredible diversity of Zootopia’s biomes. Of course, some of your favorite characters, including Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, are taking center stage.
What Awaits at Zootopia: Better Zoogether!
When you head over to the Tree of Life, you’ll find yourself arriving just in time for Zoogether Day LIVE!, hosted by a brand-new character, Heidi Howler, a fast-talking, fun-loving wolf with plenty of personality (and howling).
The show highlights stunning performances across Zootopia’s unique regions:
- Tundratown’s Ice Skating Extravaganza – graceful spins and dazzling moves straight from the chilly streets.
- Marsh Market’s Synchronized Swimming – a splashy number filled with rhythm and fun.
- Little Rodentia’s Drone Display – a tiny but mighty aerial show with mice-sized magic.
- Gazelle’s Grand Finale – the superstar pop icon (voiced by Shakira in the films) brings the house down with a musical performance that closes the event on a high note.
This isn’t just a stage show. It’s a 4D experience. Expect immersive effects that make you feel like you are part of the celebration, whether you see snowflakes drifting down from Tundratown, splashes from Marsh Market, or the rumble of a crowd cheering along with Gazelle’s concert.
Star Power from Zootopia and Zootopia 2
Disney fans will be delighted to know that Ginnifer Goodwin (Judy Hopps) and Jason Bateman (Nick Wilde) reprise their roles for the attraction. The creative team behind Zootopia, including filmmaker Jared Bush and director Byron Howard, worked hand-in-hand with Walt Disney Imagineering to ensure the experience feels authentic to the films.
Better Zoogether! not only revisits the world of the original Zootopia but also offers a sneak peek at elements from the upcoming Zootopia 2, arriving in theaters November 26, 2025.
Meet Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde
Of course, what’s a Zootopia celebration without a chance to meet the city’s most famous ZPD officers? Judy and Nick will now greet guests daily at Discovery Island near the Tree of Life. Even better, they’re sporting brand-new outfits inspired by Zootopia 2. Guests will be able to snag a hug, a paw-shake, and plenty of adorable selfies with the duo.
Preview Opportunities
Disney has teased that Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Cast Members will get sneak peeks of the show before the official opening. More details will be released later this fall, so keep your ears perked up.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has always emphasized the beauty and interconnection of the natural world. With Zootopia’s themes of diversity, unity, and coexistence, this new addition feels like a natural fit.
