Thinking about how Judy as a cop solves cases by ignoring the rules and regulations of being a cop.

In the first movie, she goes to what is essentially, by police rules, a criminal to solve the case. Then in the sequel, she goes on the lam while trying to protect/prove the innocence of the main culprit.

(There is a case to be made in the sequel that she’s dealing more with the wealthy land-grabbers (classism) dictating the narrative, but it still plays a part in how the police handle Judy and Nick’s “turnabout”.)

This may be my last Zootopia 2 thought for a while but...

...I loved the way the snake (and reptile) houses and architecture functioned!

I'm internally flailing over how that city portion looked -- benches!

And Gray's family house!

Knocker to open the door!

A height chart in the playroom that was HORIZONTAL! 💚💙 I'm dying with the cuteness of imaging snakes measuring how long babies are getting after molts!

I think there was a slide?

The lack of chairs and couches/cushioned benches

oh, and I loved Marsh Market!

You know what detail from Zootopia 2 I can't get out of my mind?

Important plot spoilers below

Gary's ancestor!

A female engineer inventor snake! Who invented the weather walls. And got her invention patented – and still had it stolen by the rich land grabbing (territorial) lynxes!

There's a little there of cool lady science. A little Scooby-Doo culprit (do you realize how often people want land?). A little (well, a lot) of lost legacy and story brought to light, lost history getting told.

This might not be as socially important as the message as the first Zootopia but I'm more feral about this one. Though I do think there is social relevance in this central core of Z2 (alongside Judy and Nick's relationship). Namely, who's stories get overwritten, who's are they, and what can we do about it to help?

This is probably a wild opinion but...

...I desperately want Chopper to have some quality of his devil fruit that contradicts Imu's power. Something something human possibility meets the inherited will to heal smacks whatever Imu is doing in the face.

one interesting thing about Frankie and gender is how different names might carry different gender coding or assumptions

very amused I kept thinking Gary's anti-venom pen sounded familiar – and it turns out to be Auli'i Cravalho

I do think Kuma's flashback, especially the parts about Ginny, and now with the children in Elbaf, adds more context to the Boa sisters situation.
