The storyline is set after the events of the film when residents of Zootopia are gearing up to celebrate Zootopia Day with a big concert featuring Gazelle. You’ll start off your journey being greeted by Officer Clawhauser, which is the animatronic we first got to check out during the 2022 D23 Expo.
