Zootopia 2 cast interview Jason Bateman Ginnifer Goodwin and Fortune Feimster

The statements of Jason Bateman

"I mean, I'm thrilled to be a part of another uh Disney animated film. I mean, these things are incredibly well-made. They're monsters. There's, I think there's 700 people on the, on the crew on this. I've never been a part of something that large. So, it's a real honor and I'm just so happy that they were so nice to me and warm and supportive 'cause I don't know what I'm doing with this voice-over stuff. They, they helped me out a lot."

The statements of Ginnifer Goodwin

"I mean, this is bonkers. I love this movie. I love number one, I love number two. My husband says number two's better. I say don't choose between my children. On top of that, my actual real children, my human children are here tonight. They've never come to a premiere before or done anything Hollywood anything. And we felt like this was, it was time for them to see what it is we get to do in this way."

"I mean, the world has gotten so much bigger. We're bringing in obviously new characters. And I feel like it just makes like the onion that we're gonna get to peel, right, to see all the different layers. It just makes it richer and richer. Bigger and bigger is better.”

The statements of Stephanie Beatriz 

"When you think about what this story does, and these two characters and their voices and the world that's been built out by Jared and Byron and everyone at Disney, it's like pretty amazing to be a part of. I think there's 700 artists total that worked on Zootopia 2, and you can just see the love in every frame.”

The statements of Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin

Brenda Song: "It was so much fun. We had this was the first time that I think not only did we get to actually work together, but Jared, the director of the film, really just put us in a booth together, which is kind of dangerous, and let us, and let us improv, which was so much fun."

Macaulay Culkin: "Which is also rare. Yeah, yeah. I feel like we barely got any work done. Yes, I kept on trying to ruin the take by making her laugh. Yeah. And uh, I think I did an okay job, I guess."

Brenda Song: "My favorite direction was 'Argue more.' Like, 'Argue more'."

Macaulay Culkin: "'Argue more.' Wow, it's the part I was born to play."

Brenda Song: "I think movies like Zootopia 2 are the reason for families to get together and spend time with one another at the movie theater. Like, I grew up doing that every weekend or every so often, and I think movies like this are a great reason to do that with your family. And you know that you're, anytime that you're going to a Disney movie, it's going to be feel-good, it's going to be fun, it's going to be kid-friendly. So, I think it's a fun date night, it's a fun family night, it's a reason to get out."

Macaulay Culkin: "I, I second everything she just said."

The statements of  Tig Notaro

"Well, for me, I'm excited because I brought my family, my wife and kids are here. So, uh I'm looking forward to have an in-person chuckle with a group.”

The statements of   Fortune Feimster  

I mean, they're just such fun characters. There's a lot of heart there. Um, you know, what I love about Nibbles is that she's just silly and over the top and fun. She starts as a conspiracy theorist but really, I think, evolves throughout the movie to be more lighthearted and helpful. And I think every character has something that people can just kind of relate to and see themselves in. 

I mean, it is truly a perfect family outing. My entire family's going over Thanksgiving weekend, and I we have nephews that are young all the way from like uh 80-year-olds going to see this movie. And I think they're all going to love it for different reasons. It's just such a good movie. It's fun and it's funny and it's action-packed. Like, I mean, you don't even realize all the time that's passed and it's all all of a sudden it's over, uh because it just it just keeps going. And then then you have this heart and emotional arc at the end of it that I think everybody's going to enjoy.
