Sometimes I imagine the world where the darker Zootopia got made and I shed a tear for what we have lost. We could have gotten a good movie about prejudices and instead we got copaganda with the sexy bunny
i frequently look at the concept art and all the love put into it and have to stop myself from crying. one of the most well-thought out furry worlds ever and its used for a copaganda movie. all hope is lost. the rainforest district is so wonderful they have a whole city just built to accommodate their needs there's so much rain and steam that are machine-made. the fruit bat house. the fruit bat house....
Judy’s Police Meter Cart! The directors wanted lots of lights. Here is the final pass and some sketches. I had a lot of fun making a round clunky cart. I worked with some great Justin Cram sketches as my starting point.
Zootopia Tundra-Town vehicles! Here is an assortment of snow vehicles I did to populate the Tundra-Town environment. There are other versions of these with wheels in the rest of the city.
Zootopia (also known as Zootropolis) is an animated 3D movie from Disney Animation Studios, released in 2016. It’s a classic buddy-cop style film, focusing on the team of police bunny (Judy Hopps, voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and a con-artist fox (Nick Wilde, voiced by Jason Bateman) as they attempt to uncover a conspiracy on their island that is linked to the disappearance of predators. Praised by fans and critics alike, Zootopia is held as one of the hallmarks of Disney’s modern animation.
However, Zootopia went through numerous iterations before it settled on the final film that was released. Initially conceived as a spy film, centered on a wolf named “Jack Savage”, it was then shifted to a police procedural with Nick Wilde in the lead with Hopps as his sidekick. Close to the end of production, the team reversed the film’s role and re-drafted the screenplay, and in late 2014 Zootopia was born. In the middle iteration, many of the subtleties the final film is praised for were not present, and the predator/prey interactions were much more obvious, with predators wearing control collars.
I really hope to see more clawhauser and Gideon in the new zootopia movie. although I am biased because they're my favorite characters, I feel like they have great growth potential to be awesome in a spin off episode (similar to zootopia+) I know clawhauser already had one but I want to really know more about him other than he's a top notch gazelle fan.
