    Disney is bringing audiences back to Zootopia in Zootopia 2, and based on the film’s first teaser, it will be equal parts dance party and high-octane chase sequence.

    The sequel to 2016’s Zootopia, which took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, Zootopia 2 picks back up with rookie cops Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman). But there’s a new animal joining the crew this time around: pit viper Gary De’Snake (voiced by Academy Award–winner Ke Huy Quan, Everything Everywhere All at Once.)

    Gary’s arrival in Zootopia will turn the bustling metropolis upside down, kicking off a new investigation for Judy and Nick in the process. The mystery will lead them to go undercover, and to explore new parts of town.

    Some of these parts of town are on display in the teaser, which sees Judy, Nick, and Gary on the run from the law. Their chase will take them from underwater marshes populated by semi-aquatic mammals to vast desert dunes. Looming over it all is a mysterious hooded figure who looks like they’ll be trouble for Zootopians everywhere.

    But enough worrying about that spooky villain — let’s dance! The entire teaser is scored by a techno bop, which comes courtesy of a band of lemmings. According to a statement from director Byron Howard, they’re called LEMEEENS and they’ve toured with pop icon Gazelle (voiced by Shakira, returning for Zootopia 2). So get to grooving, and get excited for Zootopia 2.

    Zootopia 2 hits theaters Nov. 26.
