Zootropolis 2 creators brought almost 200 characters to the screen for the sequel and drew inspiration from Disney's "incredible legacy," including Jungle Book and Robin Hood

Nick and Judy in Marsh Market in Zootopia 2.

Zootropolis is a thriving, vibrant, colorful world packed full of all sorts of creatures and critters – 178 characters across 67 species in the sequel, to be exact.

"One of the important things about this world of Zootropolis is making it feel like a city where animals live there naturally," Zootropolis 2 producer Yvett Merino tells us when we meet in London to talk about the Disney sequel. "And so we knew we needed to create a lot of animals. We had a lot from the first film that we brought over, but again, we go into new areas, and we go into Marsh Market, where we had to create a whole new set of animals that we didn't have before."
