Disney has released a brand-new piece of promotional artwork for Zootopia: Better Zoogether!, the upcoming 4D show opening November 7, 2025, at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

The new image, shared on Disney's official social media channels, gives us a first look at several "fur-iends" who will appear in the attraction.

The artwork features Zootopia favorites Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde front and center, both sporting 3D glasses as they dash toward the audience. Behind them, the Tree of Life serves as the backdrop for the celebration, with familiar residents of Zootopia - including Gazelle, Benjamin Clawhauser, and Flash - joining in the action from the branches above.

Disney captioned the post:

"Psssst! Here's a first look at some special fur-iends appearing in Zootopia: Better Zoogether! -- the new 4D show coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park on November 7th."

Zootopia: Better Zoogether! will take place inside the Tree of Life Theater, replacing It's Tough to be a Bug!, and will feature immersive effects, original animation by Walt Disney Animation Studios, and an all-new Benjamin Clawhauser Audio-Animatronic character.

Free Mickey ice cream bars? I LOVE Mickey ice cream bars! All I have to do is… Hmmm… nope. Still wouldn’t be enough to get me to say anything positive about Z******* or this rip-and-replace bungling.

Well what do they do for the alternative character that gets shot into a wall? Does another drone do a cam shot?

I am sure the genuinely creative ones do care but the people in charge with the money tend to get their way in these cases.

I know the Danny Trejo lizard appears during the musical number.

But if you notice, they completely left out the non-mammalians that were the subject of Zootopia 2. To be honest, they could hand out free mickey bars and still not salvage a positive crowd review.

Burbank thought it would be a solid hit, based on their spreadsheets. What could go wrong?

Dang. More indication this will quickly become a glorified space for air conditioning where everytone will be catching up with their phones and not paying any attention to the film :(

The argument that the designers really cared but still produced Zootopia (or Tiana’s) is far more unkind than the one I was making. Teams that care can make all sorts of terrible products for all sorts of reasons, but they are usually terrible in a different and more interesting way from Zootopia. Zootopia is the most unimaginative, low-effort, clip-show product possible. The closest parallel that springs to mind might be that Narnia show MGM featured for a bit.
