This week, we explore how Zootopia 2 has become a record-breaking hit in on the mainland. Against the backdrop of a cooling domestic US market, this animated sequel - not a Marvel or classic Disney title - has redefined Hollywood's success on the mainland. It earned $34 million on its opening day, setting a new record for a US animated debut in China, and is projected to surpass 2.4 billion yuan at the box office. So what sets Zootopia apart? How has Disney connected with audiences where others have struggled? We’ll discuss these questions with film critics Elizabeth Kerr and Timmy Chen.
