We’re excited to share that we were invited to a special preview showing of the brand-new Zootopia: Better Zoogether show that will make its official debut on November 7, 2025! The show takes place in the Tree of Life Theater on Discovery Island in Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World. You may recall that this theater was once home to It’s Tough to Be a Bug.
From the looks of it, the new show’s sign is ready to go, but it hadn’t been unveiled at the time of our preview. We’re all anxious to get our first look at it!
And, POOF! Just like magic, the sign was uncovered and Disney shared the first look!
Here’s a look at the Officer Benjamin Clawhauser Audio-Animatronic, complete with several glow-stick necklaces.
We also thought it was a cute touch to see Flash, the adorable sloth known for his incredibly slow speech and movements, who works at the DMV (Department of Mammal Vehicles), wearing his 4D glasses.
The familiar theater features new details and touches inspired by Zootopia and Zootopia 2 throughout.
Be sure to check out the ‘Paw Pact’ for the First Zoogether Day celebrations.
The posters for each of the unique performances are framed and on display. Each poster features a custom frame with hand-carved details from the different animals that live in Zootopia. The frames were built to fit perfectly into the wall they exist in.
There is also a map of the city of Zootopia, the setting for the animated film Zootopia. The map highlights the different districts of the city, including the Rainforest District, Tundratown, Sahara Square, and Savanna Central, as well as the “Zoogether Day Live!” event and its location schedule.
We love the “Pawdora” jewelry displays – very clever! There are three custom Pandora charms – the Gazellecopter, the Zootopia Day charm, and the Gazelle charm with “1hotdancer’ engraved in it.
You can celebrate Zoogether Day with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde during this brand-new 4D show in the Tree of Life Theater beginning November 7, 2025! Check the Hours & Events Calendar or the Tip Board on the My Disney Experience app for the schedule and showtimes (subject to change).
Don’t forget, Nick and Judy will have a brand-new meet-and-greet location near the Tree of Life on Discovery Island just in time for the show’s debut. They’ll be sporting their brand-new outfits straight from the upcoming sequel, Zootopia 2, which are exclusive to the Zoogether Day Gathering Spot experience.
