Anyone can be anything...
For this Annecy 2025 special edition of The Animashow, I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with Jared Bush — Chief Creative Officer at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Oscar-winning writer/director, and the creative force behind “Moana”, “Encanto”, “Zootopia”, and now “Zootopia 2”, hitting theaters tomorrow around the world. In this rich, generous, and inspiring conversation, Jared takes us behind the scenes of “Zootopia 2” — from the emotional evolution of Judy & Nick, to new characters, bold themes, and the invisible artistry of storytelling at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Jared opens up about the creative risks taken, the collaborative energy behind each scene, and the deep emotional resonance they hope to share with audiences around the world. also offers heartfelt advice to aspiring animators and opens up about what makes this sequel so meaningful. A rich and inspiring conversation on the soul of animation and the stories that shape us.
A special retrospective celebrating Annecy Festival 2025. Grateful to the Annecy festival wonderful team!
