Our Top 5 Favorite ‘Zootopia 2’ Popcorn Buckets & Where to Find Them!. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ highly anticipated sequel, Zootopia 2, premieres on November 26, 2025! To celebrate the return of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, theaters nationwide are rolling out some of the wildest and most collectible popcorn buckets, tins, and novelties yet.
We’ve ranked the Top 5 must-have collectibles, including the brand-new Gary the Snake bucket and the hilarious wearable Flash sloth, so you know exactly where to go and what to budget. Okay, so it is 4 Popcorn Buckets, and a Loracana Card! We also did not consider the new Zootopia: Better Zoogether popcorn bucket for this list!
Important Note: Most novelties are available starting November 25, 2025, while supplies last. All prices are estimates based on previous releases. Expect to see Cinemark release the Zootopia 2 Popcorn Buckets two weeks prior, Regal a week prior, and AMC the first day of showings. We expect all the Zootopia 2 popcorn buckets to be available online eventually.
