The closure comes as Disney prepares to welcome a brand-new show, Zootopia: Better Together!, to the park in the winter 2025. This exciting addition first teased at Destination D23 in 2023, will feature popular characters from the hit film “Zootopia,” including Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.

It’s Tough to Be a Bug! has been entertaining guests since Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened on April 22, 1998. Housed within the iconic Tree of Life, the show invites guests to become “honorary bugs” and learn about the fascinating world of insects alongside Flik from the Pixar film “A Bug’s Life.”

While it’s sad to see this classic attraction close, the arrival of Zootopia: Better Together! promises to bring a fresh and exciting experience to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Guests can look forward to joining Judy and Nick on a new adventure filled with fun, laughter, and the heartwarming message of inclusivity found in “Zootopia.”

If you’re planning a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom before March 17th, be sure to catch one last showing of It’s Tough to Be a Bug! before it crawls away for good. And stay tuned for more updates on the highly anticipated arrival of Zootopia: Better Together! later this year.
