Judy Hopps Gallery Quotes Relationships

When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means- Hey, glass half full!―we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what type of animal you are, from the biggest elephant to our first fox, I implore you: try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us. Judy Hopps' speech during the first film's epilogue.

Officer Judith Laverne "Judy" Hopps[4] is a female rabbit and the main protagonist of Zootopia franchise. She is an optimistic and ambitious bunny who becomes the first rabbit officer of the Zootopia Police Department or also known as ZPD.

Advertisement Official Bio Judy Hopps is the first bunny ever to join Zootopia's police department. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the chance to crack a case, even if it means teaming up with a con artist fox.[5]

Advertisement Personality In Hopps' animation, we tried to celebrate both her rabbitness and her female nature. She's a tough bunny, but she's still feminine. She's sweet, but she's not weak. And when she's on high alert, her natural rabbit instincts take over - ears and nose twitching, foot thumping. Kira Lehtomäki

Judy is fiercely optimistic and independent. Since childhood, she had harbored a dream to become a police officer, to make the world a better place. She cares for the well-being of others, and is always willing to extend a helping hand.

YoungJudyPersonality A screenshot of young Judy, reflecting her determined nature. Due to being a rabbit, a species not known for being police officers, Judy faced continuous doubt from those around her, from her parents to local bullies. Nevertheless, she used this doubt as a means to increase her determination; she believed in the importance of always trying and making an effort to reach her goals, one of which was to eventually become a police officer of Zootopia, a city where predator and prey supposedly live together in peace and harmony, believing she will be quickly accepted amongst her peers. Unfortunately, she was too idealistic in this regard and found herself unprepared when facing the reality that city had both positive and negative aspects including prejudice, stereotyping, and profiling.

Unfortunately, Judy's fierce determination, at times, causes her to be overconfident, prideful, and impulsive. She is shown to leap into action without always taking the time to fully think things through. This leads her to: abandon her post on parking duty to pursue Duke Weaselton into Little Rodentia causing considerable mayhem; almost get herself fired by taking on the Otterton case without permission; stake her career on being able to solve that case in 48 hours before learning that she has no resources; threaten to expose Mr. Big to his face which leads to him deciding to ice her and Nick; steal an entire train car full of evidence, rather than simply taking some key evidence to the ZPD. This leads to them nearly crashing into another train and ultimately destroying almost all the evidence. Her emotional breakup with Nick makes her realize that she’s not perfect and that even she can mistakes just like everyone else around her.

Despite the odds, Judy remains optimistic and determined, adapting herself to the environment of Zootopia and those around her to build up both the way she presents herself and pursue her goals. She is clever, kind, and resourceful, which proves to be her greatest asset. She tarnishes the stereotype of a "dumb bunny", being intelligent enough to outsmart professional con artist, Nick Wilde, several times. Months of training at the Zootopia Police Academy has also left her tactical, with an impressive amount of physical prowess. During times of chaos, she can quickly take charge of a situation by concocting an efficient plan on the spot, being daring enough to take dangerous chances, in order to potentially end the day victorious. More often than not, Judy comes out successful as a result of this.

Personality-Judy A screenshot of adult Judy, reflecting her confident and optimistic nature. Judy believes that predators and prey should be treated equally and works to follow that belief. However, due to her childhood experience, having been bullied, attacked and injured by a fox, Judy harbors a degree of unconscious fear of predators (mainly foxes), such that while she is aware that predators don't pose a threat, there is a small part of her that does believe they could revert to their primitive savage ways.

After being pestered into taking a canister of fox repellent during her move from Bunnyburrow to Zootopia, Judy makes the conscious decision to keep the canister by her side for a majority of the film. When she first spots Nick looking dubious in the street, she immediately assumes him to be up to something and follows him inside ready to use her repellent just because he was a fox. When it appears that Nick was merely an innocent dad looking to buy ice cream for his son, she feels ashamed of her profiling, which causes her to overcompensate in hopes of redeeming herself, which ultimately makes her an easy mark for Nick's Jumbo Pop scam.

Judy's time in Zootopia will cause her to blossom into a more mature, practical, diligent, and legitimately progressive individual. Through her experiences, she discovers the downside of having an overly idealistic mentality, and that the world can be a problematic place, filled with issues such as prejudice and stereotype, showing that all mammals—be they predator or prey, foxes or rabbits—can be victims of bias, even when it is unintentional. All animals have feelings, hopes, and dreams, all of which can be destroyed by preconceived notions. As such, all should strive to live and accept one another for who they are inside, and not the stereotypes they have been labeled as by society. Using her success and experiences as proof, she implores those around her to try and make an effort to see beyond stereotypes, to prove your worth and reach your goals in spite of all that may go against you, with the belief that these positive actions can ultimately lead to a better world, becoming the physical representation of Zootopia's motto "Anyone can be anything."

AdvertisementScroll to continue with content Advertisement Physical Appearance Judy is a young rabbit with a lithe build and round face. She is covered in gray fur with a lighter shade on her underbelly up to her muzzle and on her paws. She also has short brown, blunt claws on her paws and feet. She has large purple eyes, a pink nose and inner ears, and long ears with black tips.

Judy is shown wearing three police uniforms: Her dress uniform worn during her graduation, her daily patrol uniform and the additional gear worn when she's doing parking enforcement.

The dress uniform worn at graduation is navy blue with sleeves, a high collar, and pants with a gold chain and sewn ZPD patches on her shoulders. She also wore a darker tie and a belt filled with various paraphernalia.

Her daily patrol uniform consists of dark blue pants, a blue shirt, a Kevlar vest, and black coverings around her wrists and ankles. She also had knee pads on her pants and a black Kevlar belt with a silver buckle. The uniform is made of neoprene, allowing Judy to work in different types of weather.

Judy's parking enforcement gear is worn over her daily patrol uniform and consists of an orange high-visibility vest with neon yellow lines and a dark blue bowler-type hat with a light blue band that contains the parking enforcement emblem on it.

When working as a carrot farmer, Judy wore a red-striped pink flannel shirt with rolled up sleeves and blue jeans and wore a beige sun hat.

In Zootopia 2, she wears a blue jacket with slightly lighter accents, along with a light blue top and black leggings. Her police badge is attached to her belt.

Advertisement History Zootopia I want you to remember this moment the next time you think you will ever be anything more than just a stupid, carrot-farming, dumb bunny! Gideon Grey to Judy

Judy onstage Judy announces her dream to become a police officer. In the community of Bunnyburrow, at the annual Carrot Days Festival, young Judy and her friends perform a play promoting how in the city of Zootopia, anyone can be anything and Judy proclaims her desire to become a police officer. Her parents Bonnie and Stu, try to dissuade Judy from following a risky goal and encourage her to become a carrot farmer with the family instead.

At the farm fair, Judy confronts a young fox named Gideon Grey picking on some prey children; Judy asks him to return their tickets. Gideon mocks the young rabbit for pretending to be a police officer and shoves her to the ground, to which Judy retaliates by kicking him in the face. Angered, Gideon claws Judy's cheek, drawing blood, and derides her, snarling that she will never be anything more than a "stupid carrot-farming dumb bunny." After Gideon leaves without realizing she got the tickets back from him, Judy gets up and proudly declares that Gideon was right about one thing... "I don't know when to quit."

Zootopia-6 Judy, newly graduated from the academy, smiles for the cameras. 15 years later, Judy is enrolled at the Zootopia Police Academy. At first struggling with the course demands, she gradually becomes stronger and more inventive in facing the various academy challenges so that she graduates as valedictorian and becomes Zootopia's first rabbit officer. As she leaves Bunnyburrow to start her new job in the city, Bonnie, Stu, and the rest of her family all gather to say their goodbyes at the train station. Bonnie and Stu accept the path she is taking, but they warn her of the dangers of predators in the city, including foxes, and give her a canister of fox repellent just in case. When she arrives in Zootopia, Judy finds an apartment at the Grand Pangolin Arms.

JudyBullpen Judy arrives at the ZPD. Optimistic and excited to start her first day at the Zootopia Police Department Judy arrives at District 1 headquarters and finds that all the other officers are large mammals (hippos, rhinos, elephants, bears, lions, tigers) with wolves being the smallest members on the force. During the bullpen, Chief Bogo places her on parking duty. Although Judy protests she could help on the missing mammals case, citing her academy record, Bogo doesn't care and leaves the assignment unchanged. Despite this, Judy is determined to make the best of the situation and pursues a self-imposed challenge to issue 200 tickets by noon which is an impressive accomplishment that ultimately accomplishes nothing with regards to impressing Bogo.

Nick-Judy-shake-hands Judy meets Nick Wilde. While out on parking patrol, she spots a shady fox sidling into Jumbeaux's Café and follows him, suspicious of his motives. There, she discovers that the fox simply brought his son there to get him a jumbo popsicle for his birthday and is ashamed of her profiling. However, Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr. refuses to sell him an elephant-sized treat on account of his being a fox. Judy interrupts the argument by pointing out potential health violations, and uses that to convince Jerry to sell the popsicle to the foxes (with Judy paying for it).

Judy hiding in grass Judy spies on Nick and Finnick's shady business dealings. The fox introduces himself as Nick Wilde and thanks Judy for helping him, with Judy admitting that she believes foxes like him should not be treated as sly or crooked. But while issuing tickets in Sahara Square, she spots Nick melting the Jumbo-pop down into "pawpsicles" with his son. Following them throughout the city, Judy discovers Nick's "son" to actually be an adult hired fox named Finnick, who helps Nick with his plan. They purchase lumber for a construction site, use the wood to make pawpsicles that are sold to lemmings before recycling the lumber and delivering it to mice construction workers as "red wood".

Nick Wild talking to Judy Hopps Judy attempts to arrest Nick. When Judy confronts Nick, he deflects all her attempts to arrest him by revealing that he has the proper paperwork and permits for his actions. He is quick to deduce her fears and insecurities, warning her that Zootopia is not a paradise and predicting her inevitable failure and return home. And as a fox that had managed to trick her, Nick concludes that she should know what kind of position she is in because of the animal she is and nothing will change that. As a self-assured Nick leaves the bunny in shock (and with her feet in wet cement), a depressed Judy returns to her apartment with her hopes of being accepted on the police force dented.

Judy saving Fru Fru from being crushed under The Big Donut sign Judy saves Fru Fru from being crushed. The next day, Judy continues to do her job, but is increasingly depressed as she only succeeds in aggravating animals with parking tickets. As she dejectedly asserts to herself that she is a real cop, she is confronted with a crime courtesy of Duke Weaselton, who had just robbed a floral shop. Ecstatic, she flings off her parking enforcement officer garb and pursues Weaselton, taking the chase into Little Rodentia despite it being a size-restricted zone. The frantic chase causes considerable panic among the residents and Weaselton kicks a large donut sign loose at Judy dodges it and then manages to save a young female shrew from getting crushed by it. She finally apprehends the crook and delivers him to ZPD headquarters. Upon her arrival, a furious Bogo confronts her on abandoning her post and causing reckless endangerment to the citizens of Little Rodentia.

Bring him home to me Judy volunteers to search for Emmitt Otterton. Just then, Mrs. Otterton arrives at Bogo's office, desperately seeking someone to search for her missing husband Emmitt; Judy volunteers to take the case without seeking approval from Bogo beforehand. While this fills Mrs. Otterton with joy, Bogo is outraged and fires Judy for insubordination, but learning that Assistant Mayor Bellwether has already reported that Judy is on the case, forces him to allow her to continue. However, he makes a deal that she solves the case in 48 hours, or else she will resign.

Reviewing Mr. Otterton's case file, Judy notices that he bought a pawpsicle from Nick on the day of his disappearance and realizes that she now has a lead. She tracks down Nick and using a carrot pen with a recording function, she gets him to brag about his income. She then reveals he has admitted to tax evasion and uses the confession to blackmail him into aiding her investigation.

Zootopia Sloth Trailer 9 Judy and Nick visit Flash at the DMV. Nick brings Judy to the last place he saw Emmitt, the Mystic Springs Oasis, where Judy, to her discomfort, discovers that everyone is naked. The receptionist, Yax, mentions that Emmett was last seen getting into a limousine and provides the plate number.

As Judy doesn't yet have the ability to run a plate, Nick takes her to the Department of Mammal Vehicles, to seek the assistance of his friend Flash. To Judy's dismay, Flash and his co-workers are all sloths. After some frustration with the sloth's slow nature and Nick telling Flash a joke, they finally identify which company the limo belonged to. Upon leaving the DMV, Judy is dismayed to find that night had already fallen.

JudyNickCarLot Judy tricks Nick into helping her further. The pair locate Tundratown Limo Service where the limo was parked. But, to Judy's annoyance, it has already closed, the gate is locked, and she lacks a warrant to search the place. Believing his debt to her paid, Nick asks for the recording, but Judy casually tosses her pen over the fence into the limo yard, tricking Nick into climbing over it. This "trespassing" now provides Judy a "probable cause" to search the premises, which she says that Nick is "helping plenty".

Mr.BigIcing Judy and Nick are almost "iced" by Mr. Big. When they locate the limo, they examine the back compartment and see that is riddled with claw marks and find Otterton's wallet, leading them to think that he had been attacked. Nick then realizes that the limo belongs to Mr. Big, Tundratown's most feared crime boss. However, before they can get out, a pair of polar bears find them and take them directly to Mr. Big, whom Judy discovers is actually a small arctic shrew. When Mr. Big addresses Judy, Nick tries to prevent her from revealing her identity, but she identifies herself as a cop and directly accuses Big of being behind Emmitt's disappearance. Unruffled, Mr. Big calmly orders the pair to be "iced", but before the polar bears can drop them into a pool of icy water, his daughter Fru Fru―the same shrew Judy saved the previous day―arrives, reminding her father that he had promised not to ice anyone at her wedding and recognizes Judy.

Fru Fru tells her father what Judy did for her, resulting in Big sparing Judy and Nick's lives. In gratitude, Mr. Big offers to help her find Mr. Otterton, kisses Judy on both cheeks and invites her and Nick to Fru Fru's wedding.

Judy-Nick-fall After a narrow escape from a savage Manchas, Judy and Nick fall through the Rainforest District. During the wedding dinner, Mr. Big explains that Emmitt was his florist, who was coming to tell him something important but, en route, suddenly went savage and attacked his chauffeur Manchas, a black jaguar. Judy and Nick go to see Manchas at his home in the Rainforest District for questioning. The traumatized jaguar describes the attack and mentions that Otterton had been yelling about "Night howlers", but before he can reveal anything else, Manchas suddenly turns savage himself and chases the pair. Judy calls for backup as they work to reach a gondola lift drop-off. As they reach the platform, Judy is knocked off, leaving Nick to face Manchas alone. However, Judy is able to get back up in time to handcuff the jaguar's leg to a pole before Manchas can reach Nick. However the safety is only temporary as Manchas thrashes around, knocking Nick into Judy and they both fall off the platform. Here Judy saves Nick's life again by catching his paw and a vine mid-fall allowing them to swing into a patch of branches that unfortunately isn't strong enough to support their weight.

Screenshot 80 Judy comforts Nick. Falling from the rainforest trees, the pair become entangled in a series of vines as Bogo and reinforcements arrive. Judy leads Bogo to Manchas, insisting that the case is bigger than she thought, only to find the jaguar has mysteriously disappeared. Frustrated by this apparently false emergency call, Bogo demands Judy to resign, and she nearly does, but Nick takes a stand, scolding Chief Bogo for deliberately setting Judy up to fail and insisting they still have 10 hours to solve the case. As the pair leave the Rainforest District in a gondola, Judy learns that Nick was bullied by prey animals as a child just for being a fox and considered untrustworthy. He resolved to live out the "sly fox" stereotype so as to never be hurt that way again. Judy's attitude towards Nick softens significantly.

Nick and Judy Phone Judy films Mayor Lionheart's conversation with Dr. Badger. Nick then realizes that the traffic cameras may have captured how Manchas disappeared, and the pair consult Assistant Mayor Bellwether, who had earlier promised to help Judy. Reviewing the footage, they learn that a pair of wolves captured Manchas and trace their truck to Cliffside Asylum. As they infiltrate the facility, they find all the missing predators, including Emmitt and Manchas, are imprisoned there, having all gone savage. The duo then discover Mayor Lionheart is one keeping the savage predators imprisoned to try and find a cure. Judy uses her phone camera to record Lionheart's admission, but their presence is given away when her cell phone starts ringing with an badly timed call from her parents. The asylum goes into lockdown but Judy uses a toilet to flush herself and Nick to the outside. With her evidence intact, Judy calls the ZPD, who raid the asylum and arrest Lionheart.

Judy-reach-repellent Judy reaches for her fox repellent on instinct. Later, before attending an important press conference, Judy offers Nick a chance to join ZPD, stating that she would like him as a partner. But when it comes her turn to speak, a pressured Judy describes the savage mammals' condition as them reverting to their natural instincts. Nick is outraged at her public insinuations and confronts Judy after her address. When the argument gets heated enough for Nick to angrily demand to know if she feels threatened by him, the exchange triggers Judy's past encounter with Gideon and she fearfully assumes a defensive posture while reaching for her fox repellant. This reflexive act seemingly confirms to Nick her fear of predators and he angrily walks out on her offer.

Dont-deserve-badge Heartbroken, Judy resigns from the ZPD. As time goes on, more cases of predators going savage begin sprouting across Zootopia with no known cause or cure, resulting in fear and discrimination from the prey population. As Judy watches the chaos her words set in motion, she declines to become the face of ZPD despite Mayor Bellwether's request, saying that her attempts to make the world a better place have only broken it. Dejected and convinced that she had ruined everything, she resigns from the force.

Judy night howlers Judy's epiphany. Judy has returns home to Bunnyburrow and rejoins the family business as a carrot farmer, as newspapers report how Zootopia has become even more divided. She meets a much more mature Gideon, who has since partnered with her parents. Gideon apologizes to her about bullying her during their childhood, which Judy accepts. As they are talking, some children approach some blue flowers her father has been growing to protect their crops from bugs. Gideon reveals that the flowers are nicknamed "night howlers", which catches Judy's attention, and she learns that a family member ate one whole and went completely nuts. This causes Judy to realize that anyone can go savage, predator or prey, if they've been exposed to the "night howlers".

Nick Judy Hug Judy is forgiven by Nick. Realizing she was wrong regarding the savage predators, Judy takes her father's truck and speeds back to Zootopia. With help from Finnick, Judy tracks down Nick and admits that she was wrong about predators. Judy becomes visibly upset, tearfully apologizing and condemning herself as "just a dumb bunny" for her words and actions, believing he can hate her forever after they set things right, Nick opens up, forgives and comforts her. Their friendship is reconciled, and their investigation is renewed.

Fru Fru-pregnant Mr. Big declares Judy the godmother of his future granddaughter. Recalling that Duke Weaselton had stolen a bunch of Night howler bulbs when she first arrested him, Judy and Nick confront him, demanding to know who he was stealing the flowers for. When he refuses to cooperate, they take him to Mr. Big, who threatens to ice him unless he tells the duo what they want to know. During this time, Mr. Big designates Judy the godmother of his future granddaughter, whom Fru Fru is planning on naming Judy in her honor.

Judy and Nick in Doug's Lab "We need to get this evidence to the ZPD!" Using Weaselton's information, the pair track down a ram named Doug, who is cultivating and weaponizing night howlers at a secret lab hidden in an abandoned subway car. Entering the lab, they spy on Doug, who mentions during a phone call with his mysterious client that he "hit a tiny little otter through the open window of a moving car". These words and the sight of photos of all the savage predators on Doug's transit map, make Judy realize that the reason why Otterton, Manchas, and all the other predators went savage is because Doug shot them all with the night howler toxin via a dart gun, completely unnoticed.

As two more sheep arrive, Judy takes the opportunity to steal the subway car, hoping to get the evidence to ZPD. As the sheep try to regain control of the car, they realize that an oncoming freight train about to collide with them head-on. Judy sees a switch track nearby and has Nick speed up so they can reach it before impacting with the other train. Judy knocks one of the sheep onto a track switch, diverting their car onto a different track and avoiding the collision, but unfortunately, their car is now going way too fast, and jumps the rails on the sharp curve. This results in it crashing and bursting into flames forcing the pair to leap free from the car before the final crash. It appears that all the evidence has been destroyed when the train car explodes, however, Nick reveals that he retrieved a case containing the dart gun and its night howler toxin ammo.

Nick-shot Judy attempts to calm a supposedly savage Nick. As they cut through the Natural History Museum to get to the ZPD, the pair encounter Bellwether, who insists on taking the evidence. Suspicious as to how Bellwether knew of their whereabouts, Judy and Nick insist on delivering the evidence themselves and try to leave, only to find a large, sinister-looking ram blocking their way and realize Bellwether is the true mastermind of the savage predator conspiracy. Judy and Nick try to flee, but Judy accidentally injures her leg on a tusk display, gashing her shin and impeding her mobility. Judy tells Nick to get the case to Bogo, but Nick refuses to leave her behind, insisting that they'll think of something. As Bellwether and her ram henchmen close in, the pair use a mannequin of a prehistoric bunny as a decoy to make a break for the exit, only to be knocked into a pit by one of the three big rams. Bellwether then shoots Nick with the dart gun, causing him to apparently go savage, and calls the ZPD to report a savage fox in the natural history museum and that Officer Hopps is down.

Zootopia Boom "It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom." While trying to evade Nick, Judy asks Bellwether why she was doing this. Bellwether elaborates on her plan to unite prey against predators and take over Zootopia in the name of prey animals. Nick then clamps his jaws on Judy's neck as she lets out a bloodcurdling scream. However, it turns out this was all a trap the two of them set for Bellwether; they had secretly swapped the dart gun's ammo with blueberries from Judy's family's farm. With Bellwether's confession recorded on Judy's carrot pen, Chief Bogo and the ZPD (Higgins, McHorn, Rhinowitz, Pennington, Jackson, and an unnamed grizzly bear cop) arrive and arrest her.

NickandJudyasCops Judy and Nick as partners. Later, Judy is reinstated into the ZPD. She is thanked by Mrs. Otterton for having found (and helped find a cure for) her husband, watches Zootopia return to normal, and months later, speaks at Nick's police graduation ceremony, taking him in as her partner.

During Nick's first bullpen, Bogo seemingly assigns him and Judy to parking duty even after everything that had happened in the savage case. However, he admits to the pair that he was kidding, and assigns them to hunt down a street racer zipping through Savanna Central. As they roll out on their first assignment together, they encounter and chase down the racer and, to Judy's shock and Nick's amusement, discover he is none other than Flash.

During the credits, Judy, Nick, and the Zootopia populace dance at a concert performance of "Try Everything" by Gazelle. Judy dances to the music and glances over at Nick, who is simply standing there, so she playfully bumps him to get him to dance, to which he complies.

Advertisement Zootopia 2 JudyFindsGarysScales Judy finds evidence of a reptile in Zootopia After Bellwether's arrest, Judy testifies as a witness in her trial, playing her confession on the carrot pen as evidence. She and Nick are later hailed at a ceremony held by the new mayor, Brian Winddancer, who declares no matter how different they are, everyone can be better "zoo-gether". Judy insists that she and Nick aren't that different and that they will become the greatest partners of all time. Now deemed rookie officers, the two head to the City Shipping Yard with Finnick, who is disguised as their baby, in a self-assigned undercover mission to expose Antony Snootley's illegal smuggling ring. The three distract Antony while Judy unlocks a crate filled with catnip, but their cover is blown when Chief Bogo, via walkie-talkie, demands they stand down from their unauthorized mission and wait for backup. Antony flees in a catering van and Judy and Nick give chase in the frantic pig's hog rod. The ensuing chase results in the Zootennial parade being ruined and the new statue of Ebenezer Lynxley, the supposed founder of Zootopia, being destroyed. In the catering van, Judy finds a piece of snakeskin.

JudyandNickLookingAtEachOther Judy and Nick attend Dr. Fuzzby's "Partners in Crisis" therapy session Back at the ZPD, she watches a podcast hosted by Nibbles Maplestick, who says no snake has set foot in Zootopia in 100 years. Judy and Nick are then called into Bogo's office, where the chief furiously scolds them for the damage they caused. He then tells her that he actually likes her, but her actions reflect badly on him, the police department, and any other rabbit that sees her as a role model. He adds that he allowed her and Nick to work together because of their work in solving the night howler case, but some are now questioning whether they should have been partners at all. He takes them off the field and gives them a new assignment, telling them he will split them up if they fail. This assignment is a series of partner therapy sessions for struggling police duos held by Dr. Fuzzby. Judy insists that she and Nick are doing very well and that they don't need to attend these sessions, but Fuzzby points out how she answers before Nick, doesn't let him speak, appears to be in denial, and taps her foot when she suppresses discomfort, the latter of which she is also doing. Fuzzby assigns them a Partnerships for Dummies book to study, and for the rest of the day, they are mocked and laughed at by the other officers. Nick asks her if she thinks they are a good team, and Judy confirms that she does, but she wants to do something to prove they are to everyone else.

JudyLookingAtJournalThroughGlass Judy inspects the Lynxley Journal at the gala When she returns home, she briefly calls her parents, who tell her she and Nick have many differences, and that she has to choose between being right or being happy. While studying her book, she listens to a news report about the Zootennial Gala, which will take place that night and display the Lynxley Journal, written by Ebenezer Lynxley. She sees a van on the broadcast, and realizes it is from the same company of the van that Antony used. She searches Zoogle for information about the journal and finds a new podcast from Nibbles, where she says that when Zootopia was founded 100 years ago, a venomous snake "fanged" the Lynxley family's maid while trying to steal the journal. She suspects that another snake will return, prompting Judy to investigate. She goes to Nick's apartment to convince him to infiltrate the gala, telling him they have to stop another potential fanging, and if they don't prove that they're great partners, Bogo will split them up. Nick reluctantly agrees, and they sneak into the manor where the gala is held, going undercover in formal attire. They enter the VIP section with help from the Bearoness Bear, who Nick hustles, and split up to look around. Judy bumps into the awkward Pawbert Lynxley, a descendant of Ebenezer Lynxley, who jokes with her and makes her laugh. Nick tells Judy via hidden communication device that he hasn't found anything and they should leave, but Judy ignores him. Nick tells Judy he found something, but then Bogo catches him and drags him away. Nick kicks a spotlight, which shines on a cloaked figure on a chandelier. The cloaked figure falls onstage and is revealed to be a venomous pit viper, who is later introduced as Gary De'Snake. The guests panic as Gary steals the journal and abducts gala host and Ebenezer's elderly grandson, Milton Lynxley. Judy chases them throughout the manor and corners them in Milton's study. Judy tells the Gary not to hurt Milton, but Gary claims that it is the Lynxleys that are in the wrong, and that the Lynxley Journal can help his family return home to Zootopia. Judy decides the snake is trustworthy, but Nick arrives and knocks Gary unconscious with a frying pan. Cattrick Lynxley and Kitty Lynxley come to Milton's aid, and he tells them to kill Gary and burn the journal, spurring Judy to rescue both. Nick opens a window so he and Judy can escape, but the cold air wakes up Gary, who panics. The ZPD arrives, and Gary accidentally bites Bogo, injecting him with venom and causing him to collapse. Cattrick tells the Razorbacks that Judy and Nick are trying to help Gary kill the chief, and the two jump out the window with Gary and the journal before the Razorbacks can shoot them with tranquilizer darts. Gary is separated from them before they are found by Mr. Big, who orders Kevin and Raymond to put them in his limo's trunk. Meanwhile, the ZPD are ordered by Milton and Winddancer to find Judy, Nick, and Gary, who are now labeled as fugitives.

JudyRowingTinyBoat Judy in pursuit of Gary Judy and Nick are taken to Fru Fru's new warehouse, where Mr. Big explains he and Fru Fru are now business partners so he can spend more time with his granddaughter, Judith. The shrews offer to help them go into hiding with new identities, but Judy insists on helping Gary despite Mr. Big's warning that the Lynxleys will kill anyone who gets in their way. Judy asks if he knows any reptiles, and Fru Fru chimes in to give her the business card of a reptile expert, Nibbles Maplestick. Judy calls Nibbles, who soon drives over in her truck. Judy convinces a very reluctant Nick to come along, telling him if they strike out by sunrise the next day, they can go into hiding. Nibbles takes them to Marsh Market, a district for aquatic mammals where reptiles are known to hide out in. She tells them her friend Jesús can tell them more about the Lynxley Journal, and they are all ferried by a walrus named Russ to an abandoned ocean liner housing a secret bar filled with reptiles. On their way to the bar, Nick complains about wanting to leave, prompting Judy to argue with him over it. He slips and grabs Judy's ears to keep his balance, exacerbating their argument and leaving Nibbles to wonder how they ever solved anything together. When they meet Jesús, he tells Judy and Nick that they have to eat from a plate of grubs before he will talk to them. They do so with difficulty, then Jesús inspects the journal and notices the cover is made of metal. He deduces there is a secret on it that can only be seen be a viper and adding that it must be something big. The ZPD (Hoggbottom, Truffler, Bloats, and Higgins) then invades the bar looking for the fugitives, and Jesús helps them escape, telling them he believes they can make everyone see reptiles aren't so different from mammals. Gary suddenly appears to steal the journal from Judy and slips away. Judy tries to tell him they want to help him, but he doesn't listen, and she and Nick chase him throughout Marsh Market with the ZPD in pursuit of them. Gary escapes in the Tube Station's Red Line to flee the district, and Judy jumps in after him despite Nibbles and Nick's warnings that that tube doesn't have enough oxygen for them to breathe. Nick follows Judy, who reaches for Gary, but Gary gets away. Judy starts to lose consciousness, and Nick opens an emergency valve allowing them to exit the tube and catch their breaths.

Judytranquilized Judy is tranquilized as she reaches for Pawbert Nick then tells Judy there is need for an apology. Judy assumes Nick is apologizing for letting Gary get away, but he tells her she is the one that needs to say she is sorry. Judy, frustrated at having no way to find Gary or stop the Lynxleys, agrees to disagree. While Nick claims it is time to go into hiding, Judy finds a fanny pack Gary dropped containing markers and a box of matches with a flower logo. Two old mountain goats named Berthold and Jürgen spot them and ask if they need help. Judy rejects their offer to call the police, and when Jürgen chokes on some flowers, Judy notices they are the same flowers as the one depicted on the match box. The goats tell her they only grow at the top of the Cliffs of Copenhoofen, which is also the location of Honeymoon Lodge, which was closed and used by snakes as a hideout. Judy notices the lodge's name on the matchbox and realizes she has a lead. She asks the goats how to reach the lodge, and they tell her the fastest way is to climb the cliff by rope. As an unwilling but faithful Nick joins her in climbing while she wonders aloud about the journal, Nick starts playing Judy's recording of "I really am just a dumb bunny" on her carrot pen. She snatches the pen from him and tells him that isn't appropriate, and Nick snarks that he needs it to jot down ideas for their tombstone engravings. They argue over which of them needs therapy and fight over the carrot pen until it slips out of their grasp and falls to the ground, shattering. Greatly upset by this, the two finish their climb in silence. As they split up to investigate inside the lodge, Judy finds snakeskin on a staircase leading to an attic filled with newspaper clippings that reveal a reptile district called Reptile Ravine was buried in snow by the greedy Lynxleys to expand Tundratown. Nick finds her and tells her the ZPD have tracked them to the lodge. Judy insists they have to solve this case, but Nick says he doesn't care about the case. She tells him the world won't be a better place if no one is brave enough to do the right thing, but Nick says the world just is what it is, and that sometimes being a hero doesn't make a difference. This causes Judy to realize that she and Nick are indeed different. Officers Bûcheron and Chèvre burst in shooting tranquilizer darts and tearing up the lodge. The lodge collapses, and Judy and Nick are separated. Pawbert and Gary, who have been following her and Nick since they fled the gala, appear and tell her they're here to help her. Judy is hesitant to leave Nick behind, but she is then hit with a tranquilizer dart and nearly falls before Pawbert catches her, and he and Gary take her away as she passes out, leaving Nick to deal with the ZPD.

PawbertStabbingJudy Judy is betrayed by Pawbert Judy later wakes up in the sidecar of Pawbert's motorcycle. Pawbert takes her and Gary to his hideout in the Desert Dunes, where they explain to her how they met. Pawbert assures an anxious Judy they they will stop his family and find Nick. Stepping outside, they light a bonfire so Gary can use his heat-sensing ability to uncover the secret of the Lynxley Journal. It is revealed that Ebenezer is not the real founder of Zootopia, nor is he the inventor of the weather walls or the author of the journal. These achievements were accomplished by Gary's great-grandmother, Agnes De'Snake. Ebenezer took credit for Agnes's invention and framed her for his murder of his maid. This was the catalyst for the reptiles' exile from Zootopia. Agnes hid her original patent for the weather walls in her home in the now frozen-over Reptile Ravine. Judy notices a clock tower in a photo of Agnes with her children that she saved from the Honeymoon Lodge, and suggests they can find her home by reaching the weather wall's control room to light up the clock tower with instructions from the walls' plans in the journal. The next day, Gary reassures her they will succeed as she studies the journal on their way to the weather walls. They cut through the Burning Mammal festival, where the ZPD has tracked them. They are chased by the Zebros until they reach a tent occupied by Gazelle and her tiger dancers, who beat up the Zebros as revenge for when they knocked over one of the tigers at the gala. Milton finds out Judy, Gary and Pawbert are trying to find Reptile Ravine, and orders Captain Hoggbottom to kill them with poison darts. Hoggbottom refuses, but Officer Higgins knocks into her while running after the trio, causing Hoggbottom to accidentally fire her dart gun regardless. The dart fires at Pawbert and Gary, and Judy jumps in their way to save them. Before the dart can hit her, it is blocked by Flash's car, which is occupied by Nick and Nibbles, who were arrested and escaped from Prederal Prison. Judy, Gary, and Pawbert reach the weather walls' control room and activate the clock tower, which they can see under a mass of snow. From a security camera, Judy notices Nick struggling to enter the wall and getting in right before it heats up. A relieved Judy tells Pawbert her and Nick's last case had a twist, and Pawbert suddenly stabs her in the neck with a venom injector. He tells her he was using her and Gary to find Agnes's home so he can burn her patent and gain the acceptance of his family by keeping their legacy alive. He also throws Gary into the snow, intending for him to freeze to death. Judy begs Pawbert to reconsider his actions and that he can be different from his family, but he refuses. He takes Gary's anti-venom pen with him as he leaves to track down Nick and kill him as well.

JudyNoOneMattersMoreToMe Judy admits her insecurities to Nick Immobilized by the venom, Judy tries to crawl out of the room to go after Pawbert. She tearfully mourns her failure, but Gary slowly slithers toward her, telling her she helped him. He asks her for permission to hug her, which she agrees to. Upon hugging her, Gary absorbs her body heat and regains his strength. Judy's condition worsens as officers Higgins, Bloats, Bûcheron, and Chèvre burst in and think Gary is trying to eat her. As Gary fights off the officers, Nick, who is fighting off Pawbert, tosses him the anti-venom pen which Pawbert dropped. Gary uses it on Judy, and she immediately regains her strength and rushes to Nick's aid. The ledge of ice Nick and Pawbert are standing on crumbles, and as they fall, Judy and Gary rescue Nick just in time. Greatly relieved, Judy and Nick hug each other tightly. Nick admits how much he cares about her, and Judy admits that she tries too hard because she is afraid of what everyone thinks of her, and that she suppresses her discomfort because she worries it makes her look weak. She tells Nick she should have told him she takes what he says personally because he is the only one that has believed in her when she doesn't even believe in herself, and that no one in the world matters more to her than him. Gary and Nibbles arrive and and Nibbles brings attention to Pawbert, who survived his fall and is getting away. Judy informs Nick that Pawbert wants to destroy Agnes's patent, and Gary and Nibbles join them on a snowmobile to give chase. They burst into the Lynxley Manor, and Judy and Nick continue to chase Pawbert while Gary and Nibbles stay to fight off the Lynxleys. The follow Pawbert to a hedge maze, and Nick suggests they split up to cover more ground. Instead, Judy spots a snowcat, which they commandeer to mow down the maze. They then leap out of the snowcat and onto Pawbert, who drops a box of matches he was carrying. Judy burrows into the snow to take them, then kicks Pawbert. Pawbert furiously tackles them both to the ground, but Gary and Nibbles arrive and help subdue him while Winddancer fights off the Lynxleys. Judy ties up Pawbert as he foolishly tells her, Nick, Gary, and Nibbles his family will always have the upper hand and be better than them, and that nothing they do matters. Judy retorts that it matters to Gary, and the four leave him to make their way to Reptile Ravine, which has long since gone dark. Judy adjusts a street lamp's light bulb, which activates the others and illuminates the district. Judy, Nick, Gary, and Nibbles find Agnes's patent in her home, and Pawbert catches up to them, making one last attempt to destroy it before he is knocked out by Captain Hoggbottom.

JudyReplayingNicksLoveYouInApartment Judy replays Nick's "love you, partner" on the carrot pen After the Lynxleys are exposed as frauds and arrested by the ZPD (Bloats, Higgins, McHorn, Bûcheron, Chèvre, Stevens, and Summers), Judy's role in uncovering the conspiracy is relayed on the news, and she and Nick are invited to lead one of Dr. Fuzzby's therapy sessions attended by the officers that were tracking them down. Fuzzby asks them how they work so well together as the "dream team", and Judy lets Nick answer. Nick speaks about how differences can make teams stronger, and the officers applaud. Judy and Nick later attend the grand reopening of Reptile Ravine and Gary's party at Agnes's house, which he now occupies. Gary introduces Judy to his family, and they all hug. Nick approaches her with a wrapped gift, and Judy is touched and surprised when she unwraps the carrot pen, which Nick repaired. Nick tells her he loves her, which she records on the pen, prompting Nick to try to take it back. She tells him she will give it back after their next case, noting the 200 prisoners Nick accidentally released when he escaped from prison. Their next assignment is an undercover mission at the airport, where they go after escapee Dawn Bellwether.

She attends Gazelle's concert at Burning Mammal, along with Nick, Gary, and Nibbles. In the film's post-credits scene, Judy is in her apartment replaying Nick's "love you" message. Her noisy neighbors complain about it, and she playfully threatens to strangle them as she walks out the door.
