Ginnifer Goodwin and Academy Award® winner Ke Huy Quan celebrated the upcoming release of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia 2” at the Shanghai premiere held at Shanghai Disney Resort along with Disney Animation chief creative officer and writer/director Jared Bush, producer Yvett Merino and many of the local voice talent who star in the Chinese-language version of the highly anticipated animated action adventure.
The global celebration was held at the Zootopia-themed land in Shanghai Disney Resort and kicked off with a star-studded red-carpet event featuring Goodwin, Quan, and members of the Chinese voice cast including Ji Guanlin (Judy Hopps), Zhang Zhen (Nick Wilde), Da Peng (Gary De’Snake), Kris Phillips (Mayor Winddancer), Jin Chen (Nibbles Maplestick) and Wang Anyu (Pawbert Lynxley). A host of international celebrities were also in attendance.
The premiere—held at the Walt Disney Grand Theatre in Shanghai’s Disneytown—was followed by an after-party inside the Zootopia-themed land and ended with a “Zootopia 2” projection show that illuminated the Enchanted Storybook Castle.
Since its debut in 2016, “Zootopia” has shattered multiple records at China’s local box office and remains the highest grossing imported animated film to date. Its spin-off series of animated shorts, “Zootopia+,” leads the viewing charts of its category across Chinese video platforms.
