A Disney film is full of magic and wonder. In November, Walt Disney Animation Studios released its latest film, Zootopia 2. Along with the many animals and their voices, Volkswagen also plays a starring role in this film.
If you have not seen Zootopia 2 or its original version, Zootopia, it is a humorous look at the animal world, with human traits turned into puns and parodies. In this universe, the Volkswagen EVs become “Wolfswagen” – a nod to the company’s global headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany.
The vehicles featured in the movie are custom renderings of three Volkswagen electric vehicles, part of a “360” campaign that not only promotes the film but also takes part in it. These models include the ID.4 and two other EVs sold elsewhere in the world – the ID.3 and ID.7 Tourer.
There was a 30-second commercial produced for several markets that featured both animated animals and Volkswagen models together in the world of Zootopia 2. They call it “Zootopified,” which melds the EVs into animated form. They join in on the fun with Gazelle’s new song in these spots that were run in theaters, on television, and across select social media platforms worldwide.
This is not the first time Volkswagen has collaborated with Disney. It took part in the Star Wars universe in “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” as well as in the Marvel Comics Universe in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The latter featured the ID. Buzz during its launch. If you go further back, you might remember “The Love Bug” series featuring Herbie the Beetle.
If you have seen Zootopia 2, we hope you spotted the “Wolfswagen” models. If you have not, we will not spoil the animated film. However, you can hear the voices of Jason Bateman, Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan, Ginnifer Goodwin, Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, David Strathairn, Idris Elba, Patrick Warburton, Quinta Brunson, Danny Trejo, Nate Torrence, Jenny Slate, Alan Tudyk, Bonnie Hunt, Don Lake, and Shakira. By the way, Gazelle’s song called “Zoo” is voiced by the superstar herself.
The 2026 ID.4 is a great vehicle to check out. With a choice of single or dual motor with 4Motion all-wheel drive, this electric SUV can take you and your family where you want to go. With up to 291 miles of range, charging is quick and easy. An adapter is available to use at Tesla Supercharger stations, and you get two years of charging when you purchase a new ID.4.
