It’s also true that the scene isn’t strictly necessary to the plot, and run time is always a concern, especially in a family movie where little kids are often involved. We do know that the story of Zootopia saw some pretty major changes over time.

Nick Wilde is a charming, small-time, con artist fox with a big mouth and a lot of opinions. It supports their character changes at the end of the movie.Īs to why the scene was removed, we don’t really know that either.

There’s some quality material here that would have been great to have in the film. It obviously would have been early, as the pair are still working on the missing mammal case together, but they’ve been doing it long enough that Judy considers Nick a friend, although based on the storyboard the word is a surprise to Nick. It’s not entirely clear where in Zootopia this scene would have fallen.
