“Zootopia 2” is pure delight, every bit as exciting and heartwarming and imaginative as the Oscar-winning original and maybe even funnier. It has hilarious animal-word puns and sly references to cultural touchstones from streaming platforms like EweTube and HuluZoo, where you can watch shows like “Only Herders in the Building,” to a quick shot inspired by one of the most terrifying moments in “The Shining.”

All of our favorite characters are back, even the sloth from the DMV, the Arctic shrew mob boss, the gazelle voiced by Shakira, and Bellweather (Jenny Slate), the sheep who turned out to be the villain of the first film (the sequel has a very brief recap for those who haven’t seen it or don’t remember).
