Rewatched the GOAT of Disney sequels aka Zootopia 2 and...

It cannot be said enough just how much Disney went crazy with this movie. I know everything works out in the end but the part when Judy is paralyzed and is gasping Nick's name over and over because she thinks he's going to die and she can't do anything to save him? Insane work 😭

Then this part when Pawbert lies and says Judy didn't make it is also absolutely insane. First Nick is devastated, but then you see him look at the venom syringe as if he's actually considering letting Pawbert kill him????? If Judy's really dead then he has no reason to live either

And ofc this hug after all that trauma 😭

They're still not officially a couple but this movie managed to tell a better love story with animals than 99% of the nonsense Booktok has been spitting out recently

When they turn on the lighthouse. Gary looks at Pawbert. But Pawbert doesn’t do the same

She just says they’ll find the patent, looking and talking only to Judy.

Even after she’s thrown Gary into the snow and explains why she’s doing this, she only talks to Judy and hardly looks Gary’s way during it

It’s almost as if it’s too painful Pawbert to look Gary in the eye. Like she doesn’t want this snake’s destroyed look to make her determination to continue her horrific way of meaning something to her father falter

THEY MAKE ME PHYSICALLY UNWELL THROWS UP EVERYWHERE AND SOBS FOR TEN HOURS

Zootopia + interesting facts about its citizens

Zootopia 3:

[wanderingrose19]

The fact that during this whole fight scene, Nick's only concern was for Judy. He knew full well if he got arrested he would probably be killed bc of the Lynxley's. But you can see even while HE'S BEING PINNED DOWN by one of the officers, he's scanning everywhere above him for any sign of Judy, and then he proceeded to run for her the second he escaped their grip

He wasn't worried for himself when he should've been and the fear on his face wasn't for his own situation, he was worried and scared for her.

You can't tell me that Judy and Nick's relationship is strictly platonic. That fox would literally DIE for that bunny

[terriblychosen]

this is the cherry on the top of the Wildehopps sundae. Like how is there any platonic explanation for this scene? She's literally pining for him.

Judy's Z3 character arc will involve "allowing herself to be CAUGHT".

It's pretty clear from the first two movies that Judy has been forcing Nick to chase her around. But what she doesn't seem to know yet (on a real conscious level, anyway) is whether she actually wants to be caught.

She proves in the first movie that she isn't afraid of Nick. She then goes to great lengths in the second movie to establish how much she wants their partnership. But she never slows down enough to genuinely attune with Nick or get on the same page as him emotionally. She assumes Nick's primary motivation for joining the ZPD aligns perfectly with her own pursuit of justice. (After all, what else is there?) Never once does she stop to consider that what Nick actually might be pursuing, indeed what he might value above anything else, is her.

It's clear from Jared Bush's script that Judy doesn't have a lot of romantic/sexual experience ("Judy has NO IDEA how to react to someone flirting with her"), not to mention her discomfort with nudity in the more progressive spaces of Zootopia (Marsh Market, the Naturalist Club). Additionally, her tendency to PUNCH Nick could indicate some awkwardness with physical touch. He has to physically pull her into their embrace the first time they hug, and she looks so confused the first time they hold hands, lol.

In spite of Judy's openness, she seems to have a real fear of vulnerability. She told Nick at the end of Z2 that she's afraid of "looking weak", and it's likely she doesn't have a habit of being introspective or even honest with herself about the true nature of her feelings (unresolved childhood trauma, insecurity, a desire for commitment and emotional support, attraction to Nick). In addition to fearing intimacy, Judy is afraid of examining herself too closely - hence the FLIGHT RESPONSE. Judy's always been her own worst enemy, and she demonstrates this constantly by managing to outrun herself, and therefore Nick, in every movie.

The third movie is going to involve Judy's greatest emotional journey yet, one in which she'll have to override all of her natural instincts and finally allow Nick to "catch" her. I believe Judy wants to be caught. I believe this is what will allow her to be her happiest, most actualized self. Nick definitely wants to catch her. But in order for him to succeed, Judy ultimately has to trust that Nick won't let her fall.

*****

P.S. - WATCH MY FANVID ON YOUTUBE! It's a fun, lighthearted video that aligns with how I personally interpret Judy. (Basically, she's not as smart as she thinks she is. 😉)

Things we NEED to see in Zootopia 3!

Jealous Judy - i mean come on, they gave us jealous Nick WE HAVE TO SEE JEALOUS JUDY.

The falling asleep trope - yk where someone (most definitely Judy) falls asleep and the other mc has to take them to bed? yeah come on this is smt that Judy would 100% accidentally do.

a WildeHopps movie night - collectively as a fandom we all agree that these two do movie nights. so it would be so cute to see it irl.

a Nick pov scene from Judy - that short little snippet of Judy through Nick’s eyes was just AMAZING. PLEASE i beg 🙏. also the height difference was just so cute.

a tail wagging scene - this would be ADORABLE to just quickly include and would demonstrate Nick genuinely catching feelings. bonus points if we does the “🤔😳🫣🤭” (in that exact order) trope

Nick’s family - memories or flashbacks of his parents and to give some more info on his mother and father. personally, i feel like she’s alive however Nick’s father left very early on.

Nick and Judy high school flashback - i just really wanna see a teenage Nick and Judy.

following on from that, meeting a character from either of their pasts - an old friend or even an enemy. bonus points if they start bringing up embarrassing high school moments please.

“and i’m not the liar, he is!” scene - they scrapped this for z2 but it would fit so well for the action-climax part

A soft Judy reaction - where she observes Nick doing something quite impressive or when they’re playing dress up again, and she pulls the “wow he’s so stunning” face (echoing Nick during the gala)

a WILDEHOPPS DANCE SCENE - okay this is pushing it but some sort of dance (or even little snippet) of something similar the Tangled dance scene.

okay scrap that, i need the entire Tangled dance scene for Wildehopps bc it includes all THREE of my previous points: a soft judy, a tail wagging scene (YK WHEN EUGENE LOOKS AT RAPS LIKE 🤭 WITH HER HAIR BRAIDED) and the dance scene is just 🤌

lmk ur opps!!

[iwasbored777]

This scene hits harder after Nick's confession that he joined ZPD not because he wanted to be a cop but because he wanted to be with Judy, his "pack".

Debunking all the reasons the anti wildehopps bitches have said why it shouldn’t be canon

“A fox and a bunny would be unnatural” good thing this is a fictional universe with fictional anthropomorphic animals who aren’t actually real in nature (also if a donkey and a dragon can be canon in Shrek then why can’t a bunny and a fox be together?)

“They have an age gap!” So do the majority of other Disney couples. Theirs is the least problematic too because yes they have eight years difference, but Judy is still a full grown adult while the Disney princesses are mostly in their teens

“They act more like siblings!” bitch WHERE

“It would traumatize the kids! They don’t need to see that!” Do you actually think Judy and Nick are just gonna start fucking on screen ?? Are you dumb??

“They should just be friends!” gosh it’s almost like the majority of couples start out by being friends! It’s almost as if friends to lovers is one of the most common tropes in media because that’s how it happens almost all the time in real life!

“They don’t have any romantic chemistry!” are we being fr…?
