The sequel brings back fan-favourite characters while introducing fresh voices:

Centuries ago, mammals, birds, and reptiles lived in a fractured world. A plague called the “Scaled Sleep” (a psychological condition causing reptiles to enter a violent, territorial fugue state) led mammal leaders to declare reptiles “non-sentient” and drive them underground. The city was built on top of their civilization. The “taming” of predators like Nick was only half the story—the real lie was the complete erasure of an entire class of beings.

Judy, separated from him, must protect the first reptile child to surface—a tiny, trembling skink named who just wants to see the sun. Judy carries her through a riot, whispering, “You are not what they fear. You are who you decide to be.”

In an era of cultural division, Zootopia remains a rare beast: a family film that makes both children and adults think. It doesn't preach; it investigates.
