Disney’s Zootopia 2 isn’t just for kids—it’s packed with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it jokes made specifically for grown-ups. From spicy wordplay to horror-movie nods, the sequel rewards adult viewers who know exactly what they’re looking at. Here are the funniest adult-only jokes hiding in plain sight.
Yes—Zootopia 2 Has Adult Jokes
Absolutely. The movie sneaks in innuendos, relationship humor, and clever parodies of iconic horror films. Kids see talking animals. Adults see safe words, threesomes, and The Shining.
1. Nick & Judy’s “Safe Word”
Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps attend partners therapy—a clear wink at couples therapy. Things get even cheekier when their therapist suggests a safe word if emotions run too high. Adults instantly catch the real-world meaning… kids, not so much.
2. A Not-So-Innocent “Threesome”
Conspiracy-loving Nibbles Maplestick suggests teaming up with Nick and Judy as a “threesome.” Totally platonic—but definitely a double entendre. Later, it escalates to a “foursome,” just to make sure adults are paying attention.
3. The Shining, Zootopia-Style
A frozen hedge maze. A villain doing the infamous Kubrick stare. Pawbert chasing Judy through the snow is a direct parody of The Shining. Horror fans will recognize it instantly.
4. Silence of the Lambs Callback
Nick’s eerie jail encounter with Dawn Bellwether mirrors Clarice Starling meeting Hannibal Lecter. Same unsettling setup—just with a sheep instead of a serial killer.
5. “Hot Fursuit” Isn’t Subtle
One track on the soundtrack is titled “Hot Fursuit,” a playful pun on “hot pursuit”—and a cheeky nod to the furry fandom. It’s clever, self-aware, and absolutely intentional.
6. Cement Shoes, Zootopia Edition
Mr. Big’s granddaughter Judith casually mentions making “nice shoes” for Duke Weaselton. Mafia fans know exactly what that means. Dark? Yes. Funny? Also yes.
The Takeaway
Zootopia 2 proves Disney still knows how to entertain parents without crossing the line. These jokes fly over kids’ heads—but for adults, they make the movie even more fun on a rewatch.
