Sequel and TV Series please!
I love Zootopia so much, I want more of it! I hope a sequel and a TV series will exist. Fingers crossed, because I want more Zootopia and I want more Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde! Who agrees with me?
shareI would like to see both!
shareI could find both appealing. My only issue with a TV series would be any inclusion of Nick and Judy where they were voiced by different people.
Having grown up on Saturday morning cartoons in the 80's and 90's it always annoyed me when a cartoon was made from a successful movie or TV show and they substituted the original actors with sound-alikes. I know this was done for the sake of money, as it's likely the primary reason, and possibly scheduling conflicts as a secondary reason. I never had anything against the sound-alikes as they usually did a great job imitating the originals, but it never sat well with me and still doesn't.
To me, the original actors of a movie or TV show are sacred (as long as they were either perfect for their roles or at least memorable for them in the first place). Changing the cast should be nothing less than a last resort. If it comes down to losing Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin playing Nick and Judy as the leads in a series I would much rather see a spinoff with other characters so that the possibility exists for Jason and Ginnifer to do occasional cameos when their schedules would allow.

I see your point but the Tangled series which will premiere soon on Disney Channel has kept Moore and Levi as Rapunzel and Flynn respectively.
shareWell that is a nice surprise. It is also counter to what I'm use to seeing, but this could be because of Moore and Levi's popularity which would affect their respective salaries. Without huge movie roles to put them in high demand Disney can get them back for a decent amount of money. If they had been staring in high-grossing movies since 'Tangled' their salary demands might have made them unfeasible for a series.
I also wonder just what kind of a series it is. Is it a regular series or is it a mini-series? Many actors would turn down a series consisting of 12-26 episodes fitting a thirty-minute time slot. A mini-series of six to eight one-hour episodes would typically be more worth their time with the exposure they'd receive from it.
Or, hell. Maybe Disney just approached them with the offer and they took it because they loved doing it. Seeing something like that would impress the hell out of me.
Ginnifer Goodwin might be able to reprise her role but I think Jason is a little too famous and in demand to be doing the series. Glenn Howerton from It's Always Sunny could be a decent replacement though...Maybe John Cusack? His career isn't what it used to be, so he'd probably have time, and he kinda sounds like Jason.
