   In a city where predators and prey live side by side, Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit police officer and teams up with a con-artist fox named Nick Wilde to investigate a string of missing animals.

   2. Moana

   2016Animation

   A chief's daughter on a Polynesian island sets sail across the ocean with the demigod Maui to save her people.

   3. Encanto

   2021Animation

   In the mountains of Colombia, every member of the Madrigal family receives a magical gift, except Mirabel, who must save her family when the magic begins to fade. Encanto shares Zootopia 2's underestimated heroine who proves herself, and both films come from Disney. Encanto is a musical family story set in a single magical house, with no crime-solving.

   4. The Bad Guys

   2022Animation

   A gang of animal criminals led by the charming Mr. Wolf agrees to try being good after a heist goes wrong. The Bad Guys is the closest match to Zootopia 2 in premise, with a smooth-talking wolf as charming as Nick, a city full of animals, and a heist-and-caper plot. It comes from DreamWorks, with a more stylized look and a faster, more cartoonish sense of humor.

   5. Ratatouille

   2007Animation

   Remy, a rat with a refined palate, dreams of becoming a chef and teams up with a clumsy young garbage boy at a famous Paris restaurant. Like Zootopia 2, it is about an animal pushing past what others expect of his species, and it centers on an unlikely partnership. Ratatouille is a gentler, more grown-up story about art and food, with less action.

   6. Inside Out

   2015Animation

   Inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl named Riley, her emotions, led by Joy, try to guide her through a hard move to a new city. Inside Out shares Zootopia 2's creative world-building, turning abstract ideas into a detailed setting with its own rules. It is a more emotional and introspective film about growing up, rather than a mystery or comedy.

   7. The Incredibles

   2004Animation

   A family of superheroes living in secret after heroes are outlawed is drawn back into action when the father takes a mysterious job. The Incredibles shares Zootopia 2's clever world-building and its mix of adventure, comedy, and a crime plot. Brad Bird's film is more of a spy-action story about family, with superpowers instead of talking animals.

   8. Wreck-It Ralph

   2012Animation

   Ralph, the villain of an old arcade game, is tired of being the bad guy and goes game-hopping in search of a medal, meeting a glitchy racer named Vanellope. Wreck-It Ralph matches Zootopia 2's richly imagined world full of jokes and a hero fighting against how others see him. Its video-game references give it a different flavor, with more nostalgia.

   9. Soul

   2020Animation

   A middle school music teacher who dreams of playing jazz has an accident and finds his soul in a strange realm, where he must mentor a soul who has no interest in life on Earth. Soul shares Zootopia 2's imaginative design and a mismatched pair who learn from each other. It is a more philosophical Pixar film, about purpose and how to live.

    10. Turning Red

    2022Animation

    Mei, a confident 13-year-old in Toronto, discovers that she transforms into a giant red panda whenever she feels strong emotions. Turning Red shares Zootopia 2's energetic animation, a determined heroine, and the theme of accepting who you are. It is a coming-of-age comedy about friendship, puberty, and family, with a lot of early-2000s boy band nostalgia rather than a mystery.
