The One Very Specific Reason We're Excited About This New Disney World Attraction

2025 is a big year for new things coming to Disney World!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

From new entertainment options to new dining locations to new attractions, we’ve got a long list of things we’ll be checking out in the parks. But one of those big additions is found INSIDE a park icon…and there’s a big reason we’re excited about its arrival!

Disney announced a while back that a new show would be coming to the Tree of Life Theater in Animal Kingdom. Currently, the theater is home to “It’s Tough to Be a Bug,” which is a short 4-D film themed to the Pixar movie A Bug’s Life.

It’s Tough To Be a Bug

“It’s Tough to Be a Bug” is a controversial attraction, often known for scaring children with its loud noises, dark atmosphere, and ya know, the GIANT SPIDERS that drop from the ceiling during the show. Because of this, many were relieved to hear that the new show coming to the theater would be themed to Zootopia.

The new offering’s name is “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” It will take visitors on “an adventure through different biomes seen in the film.” The show will feature fan-favorite characters like Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and more.

It’s set to open in the Tree of Life Theater in the winter of 2025, but that means that there’s another reason to get excited about it — the new Zootopia 2 movie is coming to theaters in 2025 as well! Does this mean we could get NEW characters or storylines from the sequel in the Animal Kingdom show? We sure hope so!

In the new sequel, we’ll see favorite characters like Mr. Big, Officer Clawhauser, and Flash the sloth (if he can make it) return. We’ll be introduced to a new neighborhood, Marsh Market, and a new pal — Nibbles, a beaver. Marsh Market is an area where semi-aquatic mammals live, so we expect to encounter new animals and characters there during the film.

Reptiles are coming to Zootopia!

With all these new friends in the movie, we’re hoping that some of them pop up in the stage show as well! And who knows? Maybe this could open us up to having Zootopia character meets in the Discovery Island Trails around the Tree of Life. How exciting!

Either way, we’ll have to wait and see when more details about the show and the movie are announced. We’ll make sure to share with you as soon as we get all of the information from Disney!
