The reason was because the sheep were targeting them specifically to lead the public to the wrong conclusion, but there WAS a definitive pattern and being a predator was entirely a requirement to be affected as far as they knew in that moment.

Unfortunately she needed this wake up call to realize that it WAS just speculation; opinion she wasn’t even consciously aware of having, masquerading as “fact”. It took Nick challenging her for Judy to be able to see it.

Fun fact: the attention to detail is so outstanding that the creators added different news anchors for each country the movie got released, this way representing the local fauna. For example, in China the news anchor is a Panda, in Brazil a Jaguar, in Australia and New Zealand a koala bear, in the USA and Canada a moose, etc. Simply amazing!

Bellweather was essentially trying to force public support for making predators less than equal. The original script, reportedly, was a lot darker, with predators wearing shock collars that trigger if the predator gets too excited. This could be a possible consequence of "predators going savage and mauling prey civilians", all predators having to be controlled via the collars.

The original script also developed into a different plot surrounding Nick Wilde, when a doctor's appointment made him motivated to create an amusement park where predators could freely have fun without getting shocked.

I love this movie's message that unity and equality doesn't mean that everything will be perfect. "Real life is a little bit more complicated than a message on a bumper sticker. Real life is ... messy. But the important thing is that we try. We all try to make the world a better place." I think that's a great message for everyone, but especially for kids. We're all mortal. We aren't going to get everything right all the time. But if we all keep an open mind and try to do our best for those around us, we'll be OK in the end.

See what's bad about what Judy said at the conference is more than just hurting Nick's feelings, it's the fact that she told the press/the world a biased answer. She should've just left it at the truth, which was that they still don't know what's going on, but then she saw the reporters' faces and thought about what her parents said in the beginning about "it's in their biology" crap. There's literally not a shred of evidence that it has something to do with "biology".

Fun Fact!: Ginnifer Goodwin, Judy’s voice actor was actually crying during the scene when Judy was apologizing to Nick to make the scene feel more real.

23:10 she ended up getting anxious by Nick with the trying to eat her because it brings a flashback to her- the fox Gideon being aggressive to her as a child

My spirit animal is the Snowleopard... but my favorite animal is my baby girl Texas Heeler, Chione.

"WHY YOU BOO-IN ME? I'M RIGHT!" Yeah. All of the Zootopia drawings that have been made after this film came out kinda show that...

Alan Tudyk was the voice of the weasel that Judy arrested. The funny part is his character name in this movie was Duke Weaselton, which is a reference to another character that Alan Tudyk voiced in Frozen, the Duke of Weselton. Since Zootoptia was released 3 years after Frozen, one wonders how much the script of Zootopia was designed to make this little reference work out, or was it just a lucky coincidence.

My favourite part of the DMV scene is the look on Nick's face when Flash goes to tell the joke to Priscilla. You can just see the thought running through his head saying "This worked so much better than I imagined it would..."

According to the producers, Nick and Flash met in college. They were in the Track team together.

The "I love you Gazelle" took me out 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏽 great movie with, deep fantastic message

The Godfather is a shrew, not a rat but they are small so they would be found in the small mammal city. The sheep is played by Jenny Slate , Mrs Otterton is Octavia Spencer. BTW, your reaction and commentary is hilarious. Films to consider: "TOOTSIE" - Dustin Hoffman "A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE " - Steve Martin "SUSAN SLEPT HERE" (1954) - Christmas movie starring Debbie Reynolds "My Blue Heaven" - Steve Martin

The reason why they turned the predators savage, was to pin everyone else against them, so that terminating them or locking them up makes it look like they prey are the good guys. It made me so sad when Judy said those things on TV

I was simping over Lola Bunny in the 90s and you're right about Judy and her mom

I'll go even further. Zootopia depicts issues around race relations with more truth and nuance than almost any live action film about racism.

My favorite animal is a wolf. My spirit animal is a bear. I’m heavy set, furry, like to eat almost anything, but can get pissed off and fight when I need to. Bellweather’s plan made sense though. She said prey out numbered predators 10-1. If prey votes against predators like the lion mayor and vote in other prey they essentially take over and given their numbers all it would take is a little public outrage to make it happen.

I minor little thing I always enjoyed has never been called out by any reactor: At the Gazelle concert at end when Judy bumps Nick to get him to dance, the dance he starts doing is... The Hustle. :D

I disagree with saying she was simply stating the facts of the case. The whole problem is they didnt have any facts. Sure, all the ones affected by the plant were predators, but that isn't really anything to go off of. Judy very well could have chosen her words more carefully, because obviously what she said was going to plant a huge target on Predators' backs. Not her intention, but it should be pretty clear how the media takes things. Nick had every right to be upset. Imagine you go your whole life without hurting a fly, only for someone to say that your kind is slowly going insane, and just based on some random shit someone said, you're now being alienated.
