This milestone also reflects the franchise’s lasting appeal. Combined, Zootopia, Zootopia+, and Zootopia 2 have now accumulated more than 885 million streaming hours worldwide, a remarkable achievement that highlights the series’ enduring connection with audiences.

From Box Office Giant to Streaming Sensation

Before racing onto Disney+, Zootopia 2 already left a powerful mark in theaters. The film smashed records to become the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association (MPA) release of all time, earning an astonishing $1.9 billion worldwide.

Its theatrical run placed it among cinematic heavyweights, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film in history and securing the title of the #1 domestic release of 2025. Clearly, the adventures of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde continue to charm moviegoers across the globe.

A Beloved Franchise That Keeps Growing

The sequel builds on the beloved legacy of the original Zootopia, which enchanted audiences when it premiered in 2016 and later earned the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2017.

Even years after its debut, the first film remains wildly popular. It currently stands as the #7 movie on Disney+ of all timeand has ranked among the most-streamed films across all platforms in the United States for three of the last six years, according to Nielsen.

Clearly, the vibrant world of Zootopia still captures imaginations everywhere.

The World of Zootopia Expands Beyond the Screen

The excitement surrounding Zootopia isn’t limited to streaming or cinemas. In 2023, Shanghai Disney Resort opened the first-ever Zootopia-themed land, inviting guests to explore the lively Mammalian Metropolis in real life.

One standout attraction, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, has quickly become the highest-rated ride at Shanghai Disneyland. In fact, one in four visitors reports coming to the park specifically to experience the land.

The park continues to evolve alongside the franchise. Using advanced technology, the resort introduced new content inspired by Zootopia 2, including the film’s latest Gazelle song, brought to life through one of Disney’s newest Audio-Animatronics, just weeks after the movie’s theatrical debut.

And yes, the treats are just as popular as the attractions. Guests have purchased more than 4.8 million Disney Zootopia Pawpsicles—that’s an incredible 480 tons of ice cream enjoyed by fans.

Fans Go Wild for Zootopia Merchandise

The enthusiasm extends far beyond the screen and theme parks. Zootopia-inspired merchandise has generated strong fan engagement worldwide, sparking viral demand for collectibles, blind boxes, and brand collaborations.

Major partnerships include popular brands such as Pop Mart, Miniso, Tony Moly, and Uniqlo, each releasing exclusive items inspired by the franchise.

Meanwhile, DisneyStore.com experienced overwhelming demand for one particular item: the iconic Zootopia carrot pen, which sold out not once—but twice, including after a restock.

Watch the Complete Zootopia Collection

Fans eager for more adventures can revisit every moment with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde by streaming the entire Zootopia Collection on Disney+. From the original film to the series and the record-breaking sequel, the beloved universe continues to deliver heart, humor, and thrilling storytelling.

PUMA Brings Southeast Asia Together in Bangkok for H-Street Launch, Introduces Arthur Nery as Philippine Ambassador

Global sports brand PUMA has launched Southeast Asia’s first-ever PUMA House on H-Street in Bangkok, marking the return of the iconic H-Street silhouette in 2026. The event transformed Siam Square into an immersive lifestyle destination, inspired by PUMA’s global creative concept, Suburban Surreality, which reimagines suburban life through the lens of past, present, and future. The PUMA House offers fans live performances, interactive installations, and curated brand experiences that showcase the full energy of H-Street culture.

The official launch set the tone with a dynamic opening performance and fashion show, revealing PUMA Southeast Asia’s six new local brand ambassadors.

Representing the Philippines as a new ambassador was Arthur Nery, singer-songwriter and the country’s most-streamed male artist of all time on Spotify. His smooth R&B style and effortless charisma embody H-Street’s energy. Nery was joined by fellow PUMA representatives Michael Sager, a rising actor and model; Lierge Perey, beauty and lifestyle influencer; Gela Munoz, fashion creator; and Paolo Salgado, men’s style content creator. Together, they showcased the creativity and style of the Philippine street culture scene.

Sharing the stage with special guest Win Metawin, PUMA Thailand Brand Ambassador, the Philippine representatives embodied the new face of H-Street across the region.

A Streetwear Icon with Track Roots

The H-Street traces its origins to the Harambee, PUMA’s iconic track spike from the early 2000s. Reimagined for the street, it balances performance and style through a low-profile silhouette, lightweight mesh upper, and expressive colourways. It is a sneaker designed for those who want to boldly express every side of themselves, where sporty meets stylish on and off the track.

“H-Street has always been about more than a sneaker – it is about a culture, a community, and a way of expressing yourself that resonates deeply with young people across Southeast Asia. Bangkok is the perfect home for Southeast Asia’s first PUMA House on H-Street, and we are excited to open its doors to everyone this week,” said Gabriel Yap, Senior Director Marketing, PUMA Southeast Asia.

The PUMA House on H-Street showcases the colorful lineup of H-Street styles worn by PUMA’s global brand ambassador Rosé. These are centered around four key colorways: Fizzy Green–PUMA Silver, Frosted Ivory–PUMA Silver, Poison Pink–PUMA Silver, and PUMA Black–PUMA Silver.

For a more refined take on the classic silhouette, the PUMA H-Street Premium updates the archival design with premium suede uppers and timeless gum soles, creating a polished interpretation of the original.

While retaining the slim profile and lightweight structure of the H-Street, the Premium collection adds a richer texture and lifestyle appeal. Colorways such as PUMA Black–Shadow Gray–Gum, Alpine Snow–Warm White–Gum, and Brandy–Toasted Almond–Gum offer versatile styling options that transition seamlessly from casual wear to elevated street looks.

Together, both the OG and Premium versions highlight the versatility of the H-Street, a silhouette born from racing performance, now reimagined for modern street culture.

The PUMA H-Street OG and Premium collections are now available in select PUMA stores, official retailers, and online at PUMA.com, featuring the OG, which retails for PHP 5,000 and colorways in Fizzy Green–PUMA Silver, Frosted Ivory–PUMA Silver, Poison Pink–PUMA Silver, and PUMA Black–PUMA Silver. Alongside the Premium collection that retails for PHP 6,000 in Alpine Snow–Warm White–Gum, Brandy–Toasted Almond–Gum, and PUMA Black–Shadow Gray–Gum.
