This might strike you as an odd allocation of priorities, but it’s indicative of the specific way in which fans tend to connect with Disney stories, and the the broader trends this reflects in terms of how the idea of love is represented within their films. Replying in the affirmative, the filmmakers gave a few hints of how they’d approach a follow-up to their intricately designed race relations parable, revealing that the first thing they’d have to consider before continuing their story of prejudice, racial profiling and political fearmongering is… whether the fox and the rabbit will make out or not. With the studio in newly sequel-happy mood, the question was inevitably put to Zootopia directors Byron Howard and Rich Moore of whether Zoo2pia (I’m copyrighting that name) might be something they’d consider. As it turns out, I was far from alone in this response: pretty much the whole world turned out to see the animal crime caper, turning it into a critical and commercial smash that exceeded most reasonable expectations, with the internet dissolving accordingly into a swamp of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde fanart and GIFs. As you’re probably aware, I was a pretty huge fan of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest movie Zootopia, for reasons I’ve already explained in detail.

Foxy fox! *Giggle* I’ve wanted you for a long time, but ‘m just a dumb bunny. *A few minutes of shuffling, shifting, undressing happening* There. Past Nick’s voice: If we get naked, will you calm down? Nick: Now now… Before you fly off the handle… *Pulls out his cell phone. Judy: What the hell?! *Naked! She was naked! He was naked!?* Sweet cheese and crackers, Nick! I will blurb this to clear Nick’s good name:
