In a recent interview clip posted by TikTok user @georgecbutler, Jason Bateman seemingly learns for the first time that his Nick Wilde character has a role in Animal Kingdom’s new Zootopia: Better Zoogether show. Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin (Judy Hopps) co-star as the main characters in Zootopia and Zootopia 2.
Jason Bateman Learns About Zootopia: Better Zoogether
In the clip, Bateman shares his knowledge of the Zootopia Land in Shanghai Disneyland, but has no idea about the new show in Florida. His co-star Ginnifer Goodwin explains to him that the attraction took over It’s Tough To Be A Bug, making way for 4D experience with animatronics called Zootopia: Better Zoogether. She further explains that he has a singing role before Bateman asks if he was “good.” The pair then joke about their relationship as if she were the mom of a teenager explaining things to her teenage son.
Zootopia: Better Zoogether
Zootopia Better Zoogether brings guests to the animal city for Zoogether Day, a celebration of unity. They view various animal performances that go wrong, leading Nick and Judy to intervene. Officer Clawhauser is an Audio-Animatronic in the theater. Many of the effects from It’s Tough To Be A Bug have been recycled for the show.
Zootopia: Better Zoogether officially opened at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on November 7 after a week of previews, along with a Nick and Judy meet and greet. Check out Zootopia: Better Zoogether merchandise and watch the full show below.
