Byron Howard, director of Zootopia 3, discussed the creative plans for the upcoming animated film.
According to him, the series' creative team intends to further explore the relationship between Judy and Nick, a dynamic largely driven by the audience. Some fans insist that the two characters should remain just friends, while others hope to see them become a couple. Howard emphasized that the team will continue to leverage this conflict in the third installment, making it one of the key storylines.
Plot details and the release date for the third film are currently under wraps. Disney has only revealed that the story will involve birds, with Judy the rabbit, Nick the fox, and Gary the snake as the central characters.
