More sketches I forgot to post here 😅

Friendly reminder these two sat down together and came up with the idea to pretend to be husband and wife with a child then went out and bought these tacky clothes, a stroller, diaper bag, etc. all for the sake of going undercover for a case they weren’t even assigned to

[weatheredlaw]

nick and judy are in two different movies - judy's in a suspenseful conspiracy driven thriller where she'll do anything to solve the crime and nick is in a full blown romantic comedy of errors where he keeps trying to say "i care about you" and all that comes out is sarcasm.

Zootopia Fanfiction: Chief Bogo assigns Nick and Judy to go undercover as a couple and they are both freaking out about it. They are struggling to stay professional because the whole situation is super awkward for them.

Zootopia Canon: Nick and Judy willingly go undercover as a couple. Against Chief Bogo’s orders. They pose as a couple even when it has nothing to do with the rest of the plan. There is no indication that it is at all awkward for them to be playing a couple, it comes completely naturally to them. This happens in the first five minutes of the movie.

[naf-fluous]

Zootopia Fanfiction: Nick can't possibly fathom even the idea of Judy wanting to couple with him. Even in pretend. Why would she, perfect as she is, want him? No, no. If ever they were to put on the theatre mask of a false romance, it shall be Judy's idea, forthright as she is, or it shall never be.

Zootopia Canon: It was his idea

Movie 1: Joking smugly to annoy her. WIN

Movie 2: Joking genuinely to try to make her laugh. FAILS (makes himself laugh instead).

Alright, I think I’ve sorted out my thoughts on this and it’s time. Zootopia 3 concept thoughts:

Birds. Duh

Time skip. Not huge, but enough. Year-ish? Maybe more maybe less, but we’ve GOTTA move away from this tight timeline and let the kids reestablish themselves

Nick and Judy have settled into a VERY comfortable routine as partners in every way. They’re not TECHNICALLY dating though, but like. They’re so domestic it’s not even funny

Judy is on this bird kick and has been since the reptile case. Everyone’s like “girl chill”

I don’t think the birds are banned like the reptiles, I think there’s some other reason they’re not around. And I don’t think it’s necessarily an infrastructure only issue, but there’s gotta be a different reason

I’ve seen a lot of people speculating about Nick and Judy having to take care of an egg or at least a baby chick and it honestly makes a lot of sense. I’m not NOT buying into that concept

Also someone said something about Nick carrying the egg in a baby björn and honestly that’s SO funny to me

Long story short, if we subscribe to that parenting belief, I think they need to take the egg home, possibly venturing outside of Zootopia to do so

I think it becomes a Nick-centric plot, he might have some history with birds or something, but I think we go to where he’s from because it’s the “only way” and I think we may meet someone from his past (mother seems the most reasonable but could be anyone)

This could also be an opportunity to bring Finnick up which would be nice

We all know Nick is a beautifully complex character but I think he may have even more layers than we realize that show up here. Let’s all explore that traumatic childhood together, babe

I think it hits Judy like a TRUCK that she’s in love with him right around here

I think once they use Nick’s past in whatever way to help bring them to their next step, they get the bird home

Except, bird is not accepted back home

Something something bird acts as a parallel to Nick’s own upbringing and bro relates maybe too hard

Judy’s like “you gotta take your baby back” and the birds are like “yeah no, we don’t like you and we don’t like the baby please leave”

That’s the twist this time, no villain, just traditional values leaving trauma on young impressionable babies

Maybe an allegory for queerness, maybe disability, who knows

Regardless, Nick and Judy are like “welp. Only one thing to do”

They take the baby home

It also shows Judy’s growth because she doesn’t need to chase them down, she now knows that some people just suck and all she can do is be good to the people in her world and hope others can find it within themselves to change some day

But the change starts at home, so this is her baby now

Somewhere in here they’re like “oh we’re just straight up parenting this child now, sick”

“Guess we might as well be in love then”

(Which they both already are)

Honestly I can see them avoiding another big love confession entirely, it’s more just like

“So what, we’re just gonna be this bird’s parents now?”

“I mean…yeah, doesn’t it feel right?”

“But like…together?”

“…I mean…doesn’t that feel right too?”

“…Yeah, it really does”

ACTUALLY WAIT THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I THINK IT’LL GO NOW THAT I’VE WRITTEN IT OUT

Because I think they already know deep down what they are and they do not need to makeout on screen and have some big romcom plotline to acknowledge that this is it, this is their family

It’s been made CLEAR

(Also don’t ask me who’s saying which lines because we all know Nick wants to be a dad so badly he just doesn’t want to say it out loud until now so you can interpret it however you want but I KNOW THE TRUTH)

Anyway I think something about Nick’s past will come back at the very end and attempt to resolve itself in a mediocre way that says “I’m trying to be better because you’ve proven you can change and maybe others can too so I wanna try” and Nick is like “eh, it’s a start”

And we stick the landing with the weirdest family of all time, a rabbit, a fox, and their baby bird

Bonus points if it’s a freaking penguin or something extra out of place as opposed to like a blue bird, a robin, or a duck

And honestly, as much as I love this world, I’d be happy with just a solid trilogy if they play this right

ALSO, I do think the Hopps family pops in at some point to be the foil to Nick’s past because they are always willing to change and always so accepting and while Nick has canonically already met them (peep final scene in the sequel), I think he deserves to really see the parallels right in front of his face

ALSO ALSO double bonus points if post-credits stinger is Nick quitting the ZPD to be a stay at home dad. He deserves it so much

ANYWAY THAT’S MY PLOT TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK THANKS

[leighzuh]

Not gonna lie - I've never done something so cute with my own bare hands! Originally classic paint by numbers (my first one ever), that somehow turned into something personal and meaningful for me. And there's the only reason - they messed the colors BADLY. Like Nick should have had a brown (!) eyes, equally brown shirt without patterns and black/grey tie, Judy - blue eyes and mostly brown fur. So I gave myself a little bit of a creative freedom and painted "from scratch" as much as I could. It was a huge challenge, but I'm so proud with the results, especially as a total amateur. It's like my own art of my beloved animated characters!

Nick's "impressionist" ears are a special kind of beauty, LOVED painting them!

Natural side light that makes colors softer☺️

ZOOTOPIA 2 NEWS!

In a recent interview with TheWrap magazine, directors Jared Bush & Byron Howard talk about how the weather wall scene ties the whole film together! Click here to read the full interview!

That scene was always a part of the “Zootopia 2” screenplay, written by Jared Bush, who co-wrote the first film and directs the second with Byron Howard. But as is customary in animation, the original version of the conversation had an entirely different setting.

“It used to take place at the top of a snowy mountain near the Lynxleys’ estate, and the whole sequence was actually Judy trying to race across town to get to Nick in time,” Bush said. “But what we found was that within the moment where Nick’s about to die, if he wasn’t doing it to save Judy, emotionally it didn’t have the same impact. We had to figure out, how do you make these things happen concurrently?” When Howard came onto the movie more than a year ago, the sequence was already working. “I think we knew it was a great scene,” he said. “I don’t think we knew it was the scene until we started showing it around and people were like, ‘Oh, that’s the movie.’ The fact that it’s a conversation between these two characters, I just love that. It became this guiding light that we hung everything on.”

“To have this moment culminate on one of these Weather Walls, you go, ‘Of course, that’s the way that’s supposed to go,’” Bush said. “It makes total sense and pulls everything together. But the way we develop movies is it’s not linear; it’s this circular exploration, trying a lot of different things and figuring out what’s going to have the greatest impact.” “Zootopia 2” is full of critters of all shapes and sizes, so the starkness of the scene makes it stand out. “We have a movie with so many animals all over the place,” Bush said. “But when it’s stripped down to just these two characters, it has a much bigger impact emotionally.”
