- Disney has canceled a Hong Kong premiere of *Zootopia 2* amid deadly apartment fires.

- Hong Kong Disneyland was set to host a gala presentation of the new animated film.

- The theme park also canceled its nightly fireworks show "out of respect" for the tragedy.

As the death toll rises from a massive high-rise fire in Hong Kong, Disney has canceled its *Zootopia 2 *premiere — and other Hong Kong Disneyland theme park events — "out of respect" for the tragedy that has so far killed nearly 100 people, the company has announced.**

"Due to a serious incident that occurred in Hong Kong, the scheduled appearance of Joey Yung at the 'Friendtastic!' parade, Disney's *Zootopia 2* Selected Magic Access Members Special Screening at Hong Kong Disneyland, and the evening Gala Premiere at Hong Kong Disneyland on Nov. 27, 2025 (Thursday) have been canceled," the park wrote Wednesday on Instagram, announcing the cancellation of a special appearance by Yung, the actress who voices Ginnifer Goodwin's Judy Hopps in the Cantonese dub of Disney's animated sequel.

The park confirmed that "follow-up arrangements" for the* Zootopia 2* screening would be announced soon, adding that, "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this time."**

Hong Kong Disneyland then shared another update on a separate theme park event in a follow-up Instagram Story post.

"Due to an incident in Hong Kong and out of respect, tonight's *Momentous: Party in the Night Sky* will be canceled. Thank you for your understanding," the park wrote, referencing the destination's nightly fireworks spectacular. "Guests who entered the park today with a valid ticket may use the original ticket for revisit on another day within six months from the day of entry."

At press time, the death toll from the Wang Fuk Court complex fires stood at 83, per the Associated Press, which also described the complex as "a dense cluster of buildings housing thousands of people in Tai Po district," a suburb of Hong Kong that closely borders China to the north.

"Our firefighting operation is almost complete," said Derek Armstrong Chan, deputy director of Fire Services Operations, in a statement to the AP. He added that firefighters worked hard "to prevent the debris and embers from flaring up" and that "what's next is the search and rescue operation" to recover those who've died or remain trapped.

Nearly 300 people are reportedly still missing amid the blaze, which sent smoke billowing across the Hong Kong skyline throughout the evening, with crew reportedly battling the blaze throughout most of Wednesday and into the night.

Eileen Chung, a senior superintendent of police, said in a statement to an AP reporter that three people have so far been arrested in connection to the fire, and who were "grossly negligent," Chung alleged.
