Zootopia

Fear. Treachery. Bloodlust.

Thousands of years ago...

these were the forces that ruled our world.

A world where prey were scared of predators.

And predators had an uncontrollable...

biological urge...

to maim, and maul, and... (GASPS)

- (ROARS) - (SCREAMS)

- Blood! Blood! Blood! - (AUDIENCE GASPING)

And death.

Back then, the world was divided in two.

- Vicious predator... - (GROWLS)

Or meek prey.

But over time, we evolved.

And moved beyond our primitive, savage ways.

Now, predator and prey live in harmony.

And every young mammal has multitudinous opportunities.

Yeah.

I don't have to cower in a herd anymore.

Instead, I can be an astronaut.

- (PLAYING EERIE MUSIC) - (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

I don't have to be a lonely hunter anymore.

Today, I can hunt for tax exemptions.

I'm gonna be an actuary!

And I can make the world a better place.

I am going to be...

A police officer!

Bunny cop?

That is the most stupidest thing I ever heard.

It may seem impossible to small minds...

I'm looking at you, Gideon Grey.

But, just 211 miles away...

stands the great city of Zootopia!

Where our ancestors first joined together in peace...

and declared that anyone can be anything!

- (ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING) - (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

Thank you and good night!

Judy, you ever wonder how your mom and me...

got to be so darn happy?

Nope.

Well, we gave up on our dreams and we settled. Right, Bon?

Oh, yes, that's right, Stu. We settled hard.

See, that's the beauty of complacency, Jude.

If you don't try anything new, you'll never fail.

I like trying actually.

What you father means, hon...

is it's gonna be difficult...

impossible even, for you to become a police officer.

Right. There's never been a bunny cop.

- No. - Bunnies don't do that.

- Never. - Never.

Oh. Then, I guess I'll have to be the first one.

Because I am gonna make...

- the world a better place. - (STU CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Or, uh, heck, you know, you want to talk...

about making the world a better place...

no better way to do it than becoming a carrot farmer.

Yes! Your dad, me...

your 275 brothers and sisters.

- We're changing the world! - Yeah.

- One carrot at a time. - Amen to that.

Carrot farming is a noble profession.

- Mmm-hmm. - (CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Just putting the seeds in the ground.

Ah, at one with the soil. Just getting covered in dirt.

- (SIGHS) You get it, honey.

It's great to have dreams.

Yeah. Just as long as you don't...

believe in them too much.

Where'd the heck she go?

Give me your tickets right now...

or I'm gonna kick your...

- meek little sheep butt. - Ow!

Cut it out, Gideon!

Baa! Baa! What are you gonna do? Cry?

Hey! You heard her. Cut it out.

Nice costume, loser.

What crazy world are you living in...

where you think a bunny could be a cop?

Kindly return my friend's tickets.

Come and get them.

But watch out, because I'm a fox...

and like you said in your dumb little stage play...

us predators used to eat prey.

And that killer instinct is still in our "Dunnah."

Uh, I'm pretty much sure it's pronounced "DNA."

Don't tell me what I know, Travis.

You don't scare me, Gideon.

- (GROANS) You scared now?

Look at her nose twitch!

She is scared!

Cry little baby bunny.

Cry, cry...

- (YOUNG JUDY GRUNTS) - (GROANS)

Oh, you don't know when to quit, do you?

- (GASPS) - (GROWLS)

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. - (WHIMPERS)

That looks bad.

Are you okay, Judy?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

- Here you go. - Oh!

Wow! You got our tickets!

You're awesome, Judy!

Yeah, that Gideon Grey doesn't know what he's talking about.

Well, he was right about one thing.

I don't know when to quit.

Listen up, cadets.

Zootopia has 12 unique...

ecosystems within its city limits.

Tundratown...

Sahara Square...

Rainforest District, to name a few.

You're gonna have to master all of them...

before you hit the streets, or guess what?

You'll be dead!

- Scorching sandstorm! - (CADETS GRUNTING)

You're dead, Bunny Bumpkin!

- (GRUNTING CONTINUES) - 1,000-foot fall!

Whoa!

You're dead, Carrot Face!

- Frigid ice wall! - (GRUNTING)

Whoop! (GASPS)

You're dead, Farm Girl!

- Enormous criminal. - (HIPPO GRUNTS)

You're dead. Dead, dead, dead!

- Whoa... - (SPLASHES)

Filthy toilet!

You're dead, Fluff Butt.

Just quit and go home, fuzzy bunny!

There's never been a bunny cop.

Never. Never.

Just a stupid, carrot-farming dumb bunny.

- (GRUNTING) - (SNORING)

As mayor of Zootopia, I am proud to announce...

that my Mammal Inclusion initiative has produced...

its first police academy graduate.

Valedictorian of her class...

ZPD's very first rabbit officer...

- Judy Hopps. - (AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Oh, gosh.

Assistant Mayor Bellwether, her badge.

- Oh, yes. Right! - Thank you.

Yay, Judy!

Judy...

it is my great privilege to officially assign you...

- to the heart of Zootopia: - (GASPS)

Precinct One.

- City Center. - (AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Congratulations, Officer Hopps.

I won't let you down.

This has been my dream since I was a kid.

It's a real proud day for us little guys.

Bellwether, make room, will you? Come on.

Okay, Officer Hopps. Let's see those teeth!

- Officer Hopps, right here! - Look this way please!

Hold still. Smile!

We're real proud of you, Judy.

Yeah. Scared, too.

- Yes. - Really, it's kind of...

a proud-scared combo.

I mean, Zootopia. So far away. Such a big city.

Guys...

I've been working for this my whole life.

We know. And we're just...

a little excited for you, but terrified.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

And also bears. We have bears to fear, too.

Say nothing of lions and wolves.

- Wolves? - Weasels.

You play cribbage with a weasel.

Yeah. And he cheats like there's no tomorrow.

- (SIGHS) - You know what, pretty much...

all predators. And Zootopia's full of them.

Oh, Stu.

And foxes are the worst.

Actually, your father does have a point there.

It's in their biology.

Remember what happened with Gideon Grey?

When I was nine.

Gideon Grey was a jerk who happened to be a fox.

I know plenty of bunnies who are jerks.

Sure, we all do. Absolutely. But just in case...

we made you a little care...

- package to take with you. - Mmm-hmm.

And I put some snacks in there.
