This is the sleeve I have chosen.
I bet there are farming communities of animals like sheep and alpacas who comb out their undercoats yearly and then a few of 'em spin and weave all that extra wool, that'd be pretty neat. Nick probably billed it as some rare natural black sheep product.

The part that gets to me is the ice cream parlor. Popsicles, fine, that's just fruit juice, but they're sure as hell not getting milk out of fish and bugs. I dunno maybe it's almond milk and I'm assuming the worst.

I'm fairly ignorant regarding clothing, but this video makes the claim that they took some of that thinking into account for the character's clothes. The sheep wears only wool clothing. The otter wears fisherman knit sweaters with tiny fishes on it. Its one of those fun fact videos but its #14 and #18 respectfully.

Sheep need to be sheered regularly or stuff like this happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ck3gaEEHhc

They probably have a system set up where once a year sheep turn in their old wool for cash and then a factory or something weaves it into wool.

There are exceptions but usually they have about the same material. I know for Lord of the Rings there's some non-HD stuff that's still on the Blu-Rays.

I suppose the skunk butt rug must have been more of a juvenile prank than a practical con, then - by that logic, it should be far more convenient to obtain actual wool than to get a skunk to shave his butt.

I'm thinking that their line of thinking was more, "We're Disney and we decide what normal is for the children of the entire country. This will be the first Godfather reference millions of children will ever see, it serves the needed function in the story, and we think it's funny."

It must be incredibly liberating to write for Disney and know that you can get away with poo poo that would be called too normal if anyone else did it.


The stinky butt joke was there for the 4-9 year old boys.

The latter but with stipulations. If you have talent and connections, you can be the huge rear end in a top hat and everyone else will put up with you. Otherwise the grapevine is quite extensive and too much bad history can accumulate around you to make employment possible.

I had a classmate get on the bad side of [a certain bird-themed studio] who then called his later employers with allegations of him stealing money from them (how an animator could access their accounts or petty cash I have no idea). Luckily the other studios knew it was bullshit and he's been steadily employed since, but this kind of pettiness and sabotage does happen.

This is true with pretty much any field. The problem is you don't exactly see powerful and influential animators (outside of like one or two people?).

The ones that become studio owners or show runners/creators can have a certain level of impunity since they have public success and have the power over hiring and firing. Luckily it's not that often. There's definitely a few "kick the ladder down after I made it" people out there which exist, as you said, in any field.

A little late to the subject of Zootopia issues, but...I watched it again and I'm really having a hard time following where the "48 hours" come from.

She gets the case sometime mid-day, gets Nick, goes to the DMV, it's night, they go to the limo and then the mob wedding, still night, they go meet Manchas, still at night, Bogo arrives right before sunrise and demands her badge. Nick says they still have 10 more hours but it seems like it hasn't even been a day at that point. Then it takes them an entire day to look at the traffic cams and it's nearly night again by the time they get to the asylum, which still seems like...a little over 24 hours? Am I stupid or where did the extra day go?

I'm sure you can explain away a lot of the time gap with little things like inter-city transportation (if the high-speed train took so long to wrap around the different boroughs, it's pretty widespread; neither one has a car other than Judy's low-speed meter maid buggy; and we don't see how widespread Zootopia's public transport is other than the train chase). Travel likely takes a big chunk out of things. Plus, we don't know how long the wedding goes on, how far away from the limo service/the rainforest district Mr. Big's home is or how long he holds them, and if I'm remembering correctly, it's last light when they get to Manchas, then it's night when he goes savage...

Things definitely get a little loose, and I'm sure there's a few deleted scenes here and there that would fill in the gaps, but it seems more cohesive and hand-waveable than many movies of its ilk.

I am not an egghead. I am well-read.
In regards to 'what do predators eat', the art book has some of the company logos and advertisements on the inner covers, and there's a couple ads for insect protein, plus the fish markets in Tundratown.

And I'm fine with the skunk butt rug scene because it gave us Judy saying 'Oh sweet cheese and crackers'.

I don't think Judy finds Nick immediately. She gets the case mid-day or in the evening, after she's already been working parking detail, and after she's had time to take Duke Weaselton into custody. But when she goes to fetch Nick, he's on his way to begin his daily hustle with Finnick. This suggests that she didn't track him down until the next morning. After she and Nick get the license plate information from the naturalist group, she realizes that she won't be able to run the plate because she isn't in the police database yet. She leans on Nick for help looking up the plate number, which he's clearly reluctant to do. He just wants his incriminating recording deleted. She mentions out loud that she only has 32 (?) hours left on the case. I'm going entirely off memory here, so I might have the number wrong. At that point, Nick realizes that he can get back at her by delaying her, so he mentions his contact at the DMV - Flash - and proceeds to waste the remainder of the day. It's past nightfall when they get out of the DMV.

By the time they meet Mr. Big, attend the wedding, and then investigate further, the entire night has passed. Right after Nick points out that she has ten hours remaining, the sun starts to rise. Seems like the numbers work out.


On the one hand, I'm embarrassed to have put this much thought into a kids' movie. On the other hand, I'm at work, and I'd rather do this than my real job, soooo....
