EXCLUSIVE: 'Zootopia 2' deleted scene reveals Nick and Judy in an alternative opening

LOS ANGELES -- Family movie night is about to become un-fur-gettable!

Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Zootopia 2" slithers to digital January 27 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD March 3, including bonus features like behind-the-scenes moments and deleted scenes.

In the deleted scene "Where Are They Now?" provided exclusively to On The Red Carpet, the scene initially acted as an alternative version of the opening where Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) and Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) try to bust a smuggler at the airport! The final version of the scene played out at the docks, but the deleted scene offers a peek behind the animation curtain.

"Zootopia 2" follows fan-favorite characters Nick and Judy on a new mission, the rookie cops finding themselves on the twisting trail of Gary De'Snake (Ke Huy Quan). To crack the case, the pair must go undercover in new parts of the animal metropolis, testing their partnership like it's never been tested before.

The hit film shattered records during its theatrical run, earning $1.7 billion worldwide and ranking as the ninth highest-grossing film ever. It takes the title for the highest-grossing animated film in history.
