Disney’s beloved animated franchise returns as Zootopia 2 hits the big screen, promising a fresh wave of humour, heart and visually stunning animation.

Ke Huy Quan on playing Gary De’Snake in Zootopia 2: “This movie makes you less afraid of snakes”

Ke Huy Quan, who voices Gary De’Snake, revealed that the role changed his relationship with snakes entirely. He said, “I got to play this character a little back in my career. It’s like, isn’t it interesting how I’m playing an animal that Indiana Jones is definitely afraid? Prior to playing Gary De’Snake, I was actually very afraid of snakes. After playing him and knowing how misunderstood snakes are, I’m a little less afraid. In fact, I held snakes during this press tour, and I even had one that slithered onto my arm, and where his tongue was going in and out. And you know what that means? That’s how they smell. They smell with the tongue. What I’m hoping to accomplish is, you know how Jaws makes you afraid to go in the water? This movie makes you less afraid of snakes.”

His experience mirrors the film’s central message—challenging stereotypes and encouraging viewers to see beyond fear and misconception.

With its sharp writing, emotional beats and lively new characters, Zootopia 2 continues Disney’s tradition of delivering meaningful stories wrapped in fun-filled entertainment. The film is currently running in theatres in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, inviting families and fans across India to return to the vibrant world of Zootopia.
