14 Awesome Recent Movies That Actually Deserve Sequels

11. Zootopia

Zootopia instantly cemented itself as one of Disney's best-ever movies, a staggeringly hilarious animation that dared to take its potentially generic premise to fresh new heights with a pervasive social commentary about racism and prejudice in all its forms.

At once operating as a cute animated romp and a more nuanced film with a great message for kids, it's little surprise it ended up grossing over $1 billion worldwide, which of course instantly sparked discussion of a follow-up.

Considering the buddy cop-esque nature of the original, it would be incredibly easy to franchise this out.

How Likely Is It?: Very few movies make a billion dollars and just go way quietly, so the word that Zootopia 2 is being worked on in some capacity isn't terribly surprising.

However, there's been little concrete word on the follow-up, so it happening certainly isn't guaranteed, even if Disney would be daft not to get it made within the next five years. It's happening. 8/10
