Shanghai Disney Resort has unveiled its most ambitious project to date, transforming its Zootopia-themed area into a living, breathing extension of the beloved animated universe. As of December 4, 2025, visitors can experience the groundbreaking 'Disney Zootopia Comes Alive' festival, timed with the global release of Zootopia 2.
The immersive event features Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde leading daily parades in never-before-seen costumes, while newcomer Gary De'Snake charms audiences with interactive meet-and-greets. A showstopping musical performance set to Shakira's new single Zoo has already drawn crowds, blending cutting-edge projection mapping with live acrobatics.
This development underscores Shanghai's growing status as Asia's entertainment innovation hub. Analysts predict the attraction could boost Q4 tourism revenue by 18% across the Yangtze River Delta region, with hotel bookings near the resort surging 40% this month alone.
