Back to Zootopia!

The Animashow - Episode 9 - Season 6 Annecy Festival - 2025 Special Edition SUMMARY Anyone can be anything... For this Annecy 2025 special edition of The Animashow, I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with Jared Bush — Chief Creative Officer at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Oscar-winning writer/director, and the creative force behind “Moana”, “Encanto”, “Zootopia”, and now “Zootopia 2”, hitting theaters tomorrow around the world. In this rich, generous, and inspiring conversation, Jared takes us behind the scenes of “Zootopia 2” — from the emotional evolution of Judy & Nick, to new characters, bold themes, and the invisible artistry of storytelling at Disney. He opens up about the creative risks taken, the collaborative energy behind each scene, and the deep emotional resonance they hope to share with audiences around the world. A special retrospective celebrating Annecy Festival 2025! Enjoy the podcast!
