Good news! Disney has officially filed another permit in Animal Kingdom — this time, for a new show opening at the Tree of Life.

Grab your 3D glasses, and let’s see what’s up with Zootopia: Better Zoogether!
Disney recently filed a new permit to “install set elements” for Zootopia: Better Zoogether!

Better Zoogether will replace It’s Tough to be a Bug! in The Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom at Disney World. The original show is planned to close on March 17th, 2025, so your last chance to see it is on March 16th.
This new show “will take guests on an adventure through different biomes seen in the film,” and guests will see Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and more!

It’s Tough to be a Bug! wasn’t part of most people’s perfect day at Animal Kingdom and was a bit terrifying for lots of kids. From giant spiders coming from the ceiling to being poked in the back by a hornet, the show might have taken the idea of showing people what it’s like to be a bug a little too far.

In terms of the permit, Disney hasn’t given us too much of a look inside, but we can see from the concept art that Officer Benjamin Clawhauser’s animatronic will be to the right, where Hopper used to sit! Flick also used to pop out of the ceiling in the original show, so we can assume they’ll change Flick to a Zootopia character.
