In the film, Zootopia is a place where no matter what you are—from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew—you can be anything. But when rookie officer Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with Nick Wilde—a fast-talking, scam-artist fox—to solve a mystery.
“He’s a complete cynic,” says director Byron Howard of Nick. “He’s the opposite of Judy. She grew up in the country—he grew up in the city. He is very much a pragmatist. He doesn’t care what the city motto is, he does not think anyone can be anything.”
