Zootopia: Better Zoogether! Details
Zootopia: Better Zoogether! replaces It’s Tough To Be A Bug at the Tree of Life Theater. The theater’s entrance marquee has been installed but not revealed. Disney recently shared a first look at the show’s Officer Clawhauser animatronic inside.
Like It’s Tough To Be A Bug, Zootopia: Better Zoogether! will be a 3D show. Guests will don “Carrot Vision” glasses to join the Zoogether Day celebration hosted by new character Heidi Howler. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde will also appear alongside a host of characters from Zootopia and Zootopia 2.
A new Judy and Nick meet and greet will also open on Discovery Island near the theater.
Cast Members and Disney Vacation Club Members will also have preview opportunities.
