Yvette Nicole Brown knows it’ll take a village to make the Community movie happen. 

As the Zootopia 2 star walked the Oscars 2026 red carpet she shared an update on where the film adaptation of the beloved NBC sitcom that also stars Joel McHale, Alison Brie and Donald Glover stands. 

“Hope springs eternal with that Community movie,” Yvette joked to Zuri Hall during the Live From E!: Oscars red carpet March 15. “We all want to do it, which I think people should be most excited about, that everyone’s on board.” (To see everyone on the Oscars 2026 red carpet, see here.)

But while everyone is on board for the project, Yvette—whose film is up for Best Animated Feature alongside Arco, Little Amélie or the Character of Rain, KPop Demon Hunters and Elio—admitted it’s still an uphill battle to find the right time to shoot. (For every winner so far, see here.)

“It’s just, everybody is so busy,” she continued. “You’ve got to corral Donald Glover, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong. There’s so many people and talented people. How do you do it?”
