🦊 Zootopia 2 Keeps the Buddy Comedy Magic Alive

In partnership with

They say teamwork makes the dream work. Certainly that’s true in buddy comedy movies like Zootopia and its sequel, which opens in theaters today. Without the undeniable chemistry between Judy and Nick, even with their affectionate bickering, the movie would not be nearly as watchable. It’s bonds like this that work so well thematically with a holiday weekend that’s all about familial connections.

Heck, that’s even true for our story coming out Big Apple Comic Con about the honoring of comics legend Jim Steranko! The amazing accomplishments of the longtime writer and illustrator were boosted by the expertise of panel hosts Mike Carbonaro and Mike Raphael, who have made names for themselves in the industry as well. What a team!

And of course our interview with actor Stephen Lang highlights how teamwork within the cast of 1993’s Tombstone, a much-loved modern Western with a troubled production, both saved the film and made it an enduring fan favorite. It’s a great message that we hope you’ll carry with you in this Thanksgiving season.
