Officer Judith Laverne Hopps [2] is a European rabbit and one of the central characters of the franchise along with Nick Wilde.

Development

For the initial production of the film, Judy was not the protagonist of the story, instead being a sidekick for Nick, with the plot centered around him. She was an already established lieutenant of the Zootopia Police Department, with the goal of assisting Nick in clearing his name after being framed for a crime he did not commit. [3] To Nick, the Zootopia city was broken from the beginning, and following the story of a cynical protagonist would degrade both the message of the story and the city itself. With Judy being an optimistic protagonist, and her struggle to insert herself within the harsh world of reality, the story and themes made much more sense. [4]

In Zootopia

Since she was a child, she has dreamed of becoming Zootopia's first police rabbit, and although she finally succeeds, on her first day she is assigned to take care of the parking meters. While she is working, she runs into Nick Wilde, a fox who wanted to buy his son a large ice pop but had no money, so Judy offers to pay for it. However, she discovers that they are not father and son, but two con men who wanted to use the ice pop to resell small ice pops. Subsequently, she is caught up in a manhunt to catch Duke Weaselton, but although she succeeds, the ruckus she caused enrages Chief Bogo. Between that, and promising Mrs. Otterton to find her missing husband, Bogo prepares to expel her from the police force for giving Mrs. Otterton false hope, but instead offers her two days to solve the case, or else she will be fired.

Investigating, Judy decides to ask Nick for help, who introduces her to his friend Flash from the traffic department to find the limo where Mr. Otterton was last seen. The limo turns out to belong to Mr. Big, a crime boss who is about to freeze Judy and Nick, until he is stopped by his daughter Fru Fru, who recognizes Judy for saving her during Duke's chase. Mr. Big, grateful for saving his daughter, gives her the address of the limo driver, Manchas, who tells them that Otterton went wild and fled after attacking him. At that point, Manchas ends up going wild as well. Judy and Nick continue their investigation, discovering from traffic cameras that Manchas was taken in a van to an asylum, where they find Mr. Otterton and other missing predators, in addition to discovering that it is Mayor Lionheart who has them locked up.

Judy feels proud to solve the case, but because the fame gained from the predatory animals after the case going wild negatively affects her friends like Nick and Clawhauser and the situation begins to cause chaos in the city, she decides to resign from the police force out of guilt.

She returns to her family farm in Bunnyburrow to work with her father, but upon discovering that the flowers Weaselton had stolen were the cause of predators in Zootopia going wild, Judy returns to Zootopia, where after reconciling with Nick, they both return to investigate the case. Finally, they end up discovering that the mastermind behind the plot was Bellwether, who they manage to set up to record her confession, bringing her to justice. Subsequently, Nick joins the police force, becoming Judy's partner, both being assigned by Chief Bogo to their first job as a team.

Nicholas Piberius Wilde [18] is a red fox, Judy's best friend and one of the central characters of the franchise along with Judy Hopps.

Development

For the initial development of the film, Nick served as the film's protagonist. He was a wanted fox on a mission to clear his name after being framed for a crime he did not commit, with Judy Hopps, a lieutenant of the Zootopia Police Department, assisting him in achieving this goal. [3] Nick also was every bit as sarcastic and cynical, but with a strong dislike towards the city of Zootopia, which was more of a dystopian society, with direct abuse and cruelty against predators. In production, the filmmakers felt the tale of optimistic Judy Hopps, an ambitious bunny that wants to achieve her dreams in what she believes to be a wondrous city, would make for a more compelling story with the message of preconceived notions. [4]

In Zootopia

He is a con-artist who tricks Judy Hopps into buying a large ice pop for his son because he had no money, later Judy discovering that his "son" is actually his partner Finnick, with whom Nick used the ice pop to resell small ice pops. Later, Judy asks for his help in solving the case of the disappearance of Mr. Otterton, and although Nick initially refuses, Judy blackmails him with revealing that he has not filed his taxes. Nick introduces her to his friend Flash from the traffic department to find the limo where Mr. Otterton was last seen. The limo turns out to belong to Mr. Big, a crime boss Nick has had problems with in the past, and who is about to freeze Judy and Nick, until he is stopped by his daughter Fru Fru, who recognizes Judy for saving her in Little Rodentia. Mr. Big, grateful for saving his daughter, gives Judy the address of the limo driver, Manchas, who tells them that Otterton went wild and fled after attacking him. At that point, Manchas ends up going wild as well. Later, Nick reveals to Judy that as a child he suffered discrimination from other children for the simple fact of being a predator.

Judy and Nick continue their investigation, discovering from traffic cameras that Manchas was taken in a van to an asylum, where they find Mr. Otterton and other missing predators, in addition to discovering that it is Mayor Lionheart who has them locked up. But the fact of having solved the case causes the inhabitants of Zootopia to be afraid that all predators will end up in the wild, and seeing that even Judy is afraid, he gets angry seeing that he will always be discriminated against. Some time later, Judy apologizes to Nick and asks for his help in solving the case, earning his forgiveness. Finally, they end up discovering that the mastermind behind the plot was Bellwether, who they manage to set up to record her confession, bringing her to justice. Subsequently, Nick joins the police force, becoming Judy's partner, both being assigned by Chief Bogo to their first job as a team.

In other media

In Zootopia+ , he makes a brief appearance in "Hopp on Board", making ice pops with Finnick. In "Dinner Rush", he and Judy are shown stopping Flash's car.
