Why Are You Here? 3 Hidden Easter Egg Points in 'Zootopia 2'

〈Zootopia 2〉 has revealed hidden fun points in the movie.

The thrilling chase scene unfolding in the historic 'Lingsley Family' mansion from 'Zootopia' hides an Easter egg reminiscent of the Disney classic 〈Ratatouille〉. When 'Judy' and 'Nick' chase the blue snake 'Gary' across the kitchen, a glimpse of the main character mouse 'Remy' from 〈Ratatouille〉 can be seen perched inside the chef's hat. This recreates the moment where 'Remy' directs the cooking atop chef 'Linguini's' head, bringing a delightful smile to fans. Notably, it is said that Michael Giacchino, the music director of 〈Zootopia 2〉 and composer for 〈Ratatouille〉, personally performed for the brief scene featuring 'Remy', adding to its specialness.

The scene where 'Nick' subdues 'Gary' evokes memories of the most delightful Disney animation, 〈Tangled〉. 'Nick' uses his secret weapon, a frying pan, to strike 'Gary', which connects to the bold image of 'Rapunzel' effortlessly taking down intruders with a frying pan, bringing great laughter to the audience. Furthermore, the fact that Byron Howard, co-director of 〈Tangled〉, also directed 〈Zootopia 2〉 reveals his witty affection for the characters in both works.

The legendary thriller film 〈The Shining〉, directed by the master Stanley Kubrick, is also intricately woven into 〈Zootopia 2〉. The breathtaking chase scene between 'Judy' and 'Nick' in the latter part of the film unfolds in a vast snow-covered maze, resembling the location of the most tense scene in 〈The Shining〉, the maze garden. Additionally, the setup where 'Judy' and 'Nick' use a snowplow to escape a crisis is a delightful parody of 〈The Shining〉, offering movie fans a unique discovery and immersive experience.
