90 free Zootopia trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
56 free Zootopia trivia questions with answers. Zootopia is Disney's billion-dollar buddy-cop film about a rabbit officer and a fox con artist, and this quiz covers the whole franchise: the 2016 original, the Zootopia+ shorts, the theme-park rides and the 2025 sequel with Gary De'Snake. Easy questions ask who voices Nick and Judy, what the Night Howlers really are and what Judy swapped into the dart gun; harder ones dig into the spy movie the film started life as, the fur software Disney's engineers built, why the movie is called Zootropolis in Britain, and which real news anchors and wrestlers hide in the cast. It works for a family movie night, since most of the plot questions can be answered by anyone who has seen the film, and it has enough production and box-office stumpers to challenge grown-up Disney fans. Every answer has been checked against the Wikipedia articles on the films, the characters and the franchise, and each question shows its source once you have answered.
