Can't lie, very disappointed Nick and Judy's career as buddy cops wasn't explored. I would love to see a series about them investigating various cases together throughout Zootopia. Those were the best parts of the movie for me, they have a great dynamic.
There are a couple ideas for a second season (not based on Zootopia 2). Any six will do: - Gideon Grey's life between bullying Judy as a kid and meeting her again as an adult. - Nick's mother working her tail off to buy Nick a scout uniform (sad we know how that ends) - Major Friedkin training ZPD cadets. - The daily life of Yax and The Mystic Spring Oasis. - The Ottertons (before Emmitt went missing) - Bellwether's early life/descent into villainy/her villainous actions behind the scenes explored. - Lionheart & Dr. Madge in jail. - Jerry Jumbeaux's Cafe. - Finnick. Just anything about Finnick.
Honestly the fact that they didn't have a Finnick episode dropped my interest immediately. I know his voice actor died but, as tragic as it is, they've replaced voice actors before; I don't think his family would mind.
Episode focusing on Bellweather and her descent into madness and bigotry is definitely NEEDED to better flesh out her motives and develop her role as a twist villain and retroactively fix/improve the flaw of her twist coming out of nowhere and not being probably developed or built up in the original film.
@@smurvin I wasn’t aware that the voice actor passed away :[ Finnick only appeared on screen for minutes but he was such a standout character, would love to see more of him
@@smurvin well ai exist , i mean bots who can ,,teach" how to speak like any actor , just give sample , andpermssion from family of actor who passed away for teaching ai from samples of voice from death actor (and im sure disney have samples of voice of that person before adding the rest of characters from the movie ) and i also know that using someone voice to teaching ai without permission is nono , but with permission from family , and some cut of money from premiere from disney for family of the actor i think that will be not a bad thing
This show was just a lot of fun. The animation is still great, and the stories are all pretty enjoyable. I especially loved "The Godfather of the Bride." Mr. Big's rise to power through growing the community was really interesting, as was seeing Zootopia in the olden days.
Mr. Big's story is oddly wholesome, at first glance you could probably think "Oh, he was an innocent young lad, then he killed a man, and then developed a thirst for blood." But he was actually trying to help out his community, defend the ones who couldn't defend themselves by unifying the community. That is what makes his story so wholesome and so unique
Makes him feel more like a massive hypocrite to me, going from standing up to the mob because they wronged him and standing up for those who can’t defend themselves, to being a mob boss who’s presumably wronged countless others and constantly steps over those who can’t defend themselves. Try and defend him all you want, he’s organized crime and you don’t survive in the criminal underworld without stepping on a few fingers
I absolutely love the fact that we get to see "Duke from Weasel Town" It's such a great reference to "The Duke from Weselton" that Elsa and Anna keep calling "Duke of Weasel Town" in Frozen
The only criticism i have for the show is that it's a limited series. Which is quite a letdown since I wanted to see more backstories and viewpoints of the characters.
I love the different shorts that were presented in Zootopia+, and how each short focuses on a different minor character from the film, but hands down my favorites ones are the ones centering on Mr. Big’s Backstory and The Dinner Date with Flash the Sloth.
Certainly I couldn't be the only one who feels incredibly gaslit by every instance of Zootopia being Zootropolis instead. I scrolled down into the comments and there was NO MENTION OF THIS and everyone was saying ZOOTOPIA and I refuse to believe that I have somehow lost my mind
"Alternative titles The film was retitled for theatrical release across several international territories. In the United Kingdom and other European, Middle Eastern, and North African countries, the film was renamed Zootropolis, a reference to the concept of a 'metropolis' rather than to that of a 'utopia'. This was due to Disney being unable to trademark the name 'Zootopia' in these territories for various legal reasons, including Danish Givskud Zoo registering the name Zootopia in 2014." - Wiki
its called zootropolis in the uk and zootopia in the us. i live in the uk and got a dvd of the movie and its called zootropolis. but when i look it up online, its zootopia as the people who have written it were from the us.
I have to admit, this is one of the few Disney+ spinoffs that works, yet, I cannot help but feel this is basically a rehash of Lion King 1 1/2, of giving the secondary or background character their own content, however, is still subject to the main plot and story of the parent film. Yet this is better than Lion King 1 1/2, Zootopia+ is creativity is top drawer, it has an imaginative mix of superb animation, comedy, backstory, and details, I do hope for more Zootopia content in the future, it's rather impressive that Disney has not forgotten it.
Yeah, I feel the same, I though they already forgot about this movie until this and of course the sequel lol. Also, if you want more Zootopia content, check the dark horse comics, they take place during Nick and Judy's childhood.
@@GipsyDangerfan It sucks that we got nothing in general. I'm jealous towards asians because they got better merchandise too. They even got switch cases, both for the console and joycons.
@@ValerieSparrowW Yeah, made by dark horse comics on 2019. There's 4 issues and they show some of their lives before the carrot day festival play and the junior ranger scout incident. The art style is absolutely adorable too. The only thing I didn't like at all was that Mrs. Wilde didn't showed her face.
I actually LOVED the The Real Rodents of Little Rodentia episode, it was SO funny to me! And that pretty sweet ending where Fru Fru comes to her senses after nearly dying, I'll be honest made me tear up a little bit. It's really nice.
Mr. Big’s backstory was really interesting, lore episodes are really fascinating and this one did just that and also much more by establishing other cool little details and telling a wholesome story as well. So good!!!
I honestly thought Zootopia (as it was released for me) was going to branch out more when it came out. They introduced such a big world with interesting characters. I at least execpted a cop like show with Judy and Nick solving basic but entertaining crimes, exploring more of the city while they did it. I really enjoyed all of these episodes expect for the gazelle one since im tired of talent shows personally. On one side there was so much potential but disney does have a history of bad spinoffs that lose it one way or another. Id love to see more from this series and any other shows you chose to review
The funniest part of Mr. Big's episode is that they...literally crossed a puddle. Even at the size of an Arctic shrew, a puddle is no ocean. And that's the hilarity of it all.
11:22 Mr Big is 100% a reference to Al Capone. While he wasn’t exactly the nicest guy around, he is the reason we have modern day soup kitchens. Dude advocated for helping the community and taking care of your neighbors. It’s a very strong parallel that I really appreciate Disney for referencing!
I really loved Duke the Musical, the song is so catchy, it's a shame Disney didn't care that much about it. And as you mentioned in the video, I found the choreography in that episode, especially on Duke, so lovely.
When I think about it, another movie it would be good to do this with (provided they keep the same quality) is raya and the last dragon. They could call it Tales of Kumandra and have one short story set in each of the five regions, either about the main characters before or after they meet raya, or about completely different characters. I'd love to see boun serving cranky customers on a busy day or baby noi either meeting the ongis for the front time or planning some sort of comical heist. It's a movie wlthat did a lot of world building yet rushed through each area so it's perfect for some short stories provided they do it correctly
I love seeing Allen Tudyk in stuff. I feel like people haven’t been enjoying him lately because of the types of roles he’s been given lately (like the Scroll from Enchanted 2) but I just love hearing the guy’s voice so Episode 3 was a treat and a half
It’s honestly really funny to me they chose an otter to have an Australian accent??? Out of all the cool Aussie animals and you can’t even find otters in Australia!
Honestly I am SO READY for some Zootopia world building/lore. When the film came out when I was a kid, I was 1000% down for a civil rights era Zootopia prequel. I am still very much down for that.
I remember seeing these spin-off episodes a few months ago and I absolutely love them! The episodes are fun, interesting, allow for more world building, and we just get to see more Zootopia in general
Interesting. I don’t know if you ever checked out Lion King 1 1/2 but I feel like that movie is just like Zootopia+ only with the inclusion of Timon and Pumbaa’s arch in the first movie. I got to say that makes it one of the best direct to video movies ever in my opinion
This actually now tells us that Disney doesn’t make stuff like illumination movies. They try really hard on anything that we sometimes never needed but still had.
The effect that the Howler Rose Defile Flower has on any Anthro Animal is still cannon to the movie but how do Bugs Fish and Shell Fish cope with Zootopia Mega City for Animals dress and act and walk like people
Mammals are the only anthropomorphized animals in this universe. Non-mammalian animals were not given the same treatment. Considering that you have mammalian predators that feed on fish and shellfish (such as polar bears and otters), anthropomorphizing those animals would make the entire premise extremely problematic. It also wasn't necessary for the predators vs prey allegory for racism. Another thing to notice is that there are no domesticated or livestock animals present. No dogs, no housecats, no horses. Sheep are the exception but I think that's an aesthetic choice. Domesticated sheep today look very different than their wild ancestors and are more recognizable to a kid than other wild sheep, like the Big Horn.
@@25Erix This, and even then for the sheep and pigs you could sorta make the argument that just a change of lifestyle can make their ancestors look like that. Can't say the same for dogs, who are the product of thousands of years of selective breeding.
@@neogranzong I forgot about the pigs. 😅 Plus domestic pigs look more "civilized" than your standard wild boars/sows. Wild pigs look downright mean and have the temperament of someone who hates you just for existing. Like moose.
@@25Erix Yeah, you should see the original script storyboard, they had a special unit of iirc boars called TUSK and they looked menacing as hell, they even had Gatling guns, of course those shot tranq darts, but still.
Maybe another spinoff video I'd really like to see is those Kung Fu Panda animated shorts each movie had. The ones that showed the stories of the different masters and the Furious 5 when they were younger
5:47 the Phineas and Ferb movie isn’t a “Direct-to-DVD sequel”. The first movie was a Disney Channel Original Movie and the 2nd one was a Disney+ Original Movie. And neither of them are sequels, because they both take place during the series. Even the new movie takes place before the end of the series.
nope nope the clawhauser seen takes place near the end when they got flushed and are in the lake. when he burst in going. "they found them!" to the rhino. its a whole new scean not tied to the first call judy makes.
Honestly, I hope Sam and Garold from my favorite Zootopia + episode Dinner Rush go join Nick and Judy in the sequel. Those two have SO much potencial. That way we can get a male and female predator, and a male and female prey. Since they aren't cops, maybe they accidently find themselves with Nick and Judy on their next mission. I think that might be kind of great.
I really hope they do either a new movie or more episodes like this so I do love the real housewives remake that was probably my favorite part I was dying
The first episode explains a lot about Judy. That scene where Bonny and Stu were chasing the train reminded me of the scene in the movie where Judy and Nick were driving the night howler train car. Bonny and Stu will be what Judy and Nick would be like 10 years from the present.
I'd say my favorite episode of the series is the first but the least favorite is probably either the last one or the one with clawhauser because the whole story was just a dream
Most of Zootopia+/Zootroplis+ was completely pointless and ignorable since NOTHING was gained. The exception being "Godfather of The Bride". It added some impressive lore that I thoroughly enjoyed! My only real question is: Why were there polar bears if the city had no frozen tundra section? But I absolutely *HATED* "Dinner Rush"! It encapsulated EVERYTHING I hate about the "Diner Dash" game franchise: The unbearable timer, the impossible customers, and my biggest issue of all: Where's the rest of the waitstaff?! Poor Mrs. Sam Otterton (Is that her canonical name?) had to deal with all the customers all by herself! I had to pause this one several times to calm myself down because I got increasingly frustrated for her with those Sloths! The slow joke was cute in the DMV, but here it was beyond cringe-worthy!
In the words of the lawyer from "The Incredibles", The fans didn't *ask* for a "sequel" that shows what the other characters were doing. The fans didn't *want* a "sequel" that shows what the other characters were doing. And the excuses behind the "delays", so-called, of a sequel showing Nick and Judy as a couple in some capacity, causes the fans daily strain as they wait for details!" Disney, "Hey! We gave you a sequel!" Fans, "You didn't give us a sequel, you gave us filler!" Disney's legal team, "Our client has no further comment at this time."
I was impressed they sort of brought Nick's old storyline back for the 3rd episode. At the very least, the musical number totally felt like it might have originally been conceptualized for it.
Oh you should definitely watch Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension. It's a bop, it's funny, it's literally concentrated quality peak P&F in a TV movie. Perfection.
Considering that it focues on characters that were already in the movie. It wouldn't surprise me if they just took all the 3d models they had for Zootopia and just you know reuse them for this. Which is probably why it's so close to original the only reason it might look a little different possibly is because they might have upgraded the software or something I don't they're is definitely something a tiny tiny bit different about it but I doubt they really changed too much from the original backgrounds.
is the ending of episode 2 a parody of rec 3, the plot is kinda similar but not really, a virus like rabies is able to infect humans, its durring a wedding (thats all there is similarity wise)
This mini series was alright in my opinion. I'm alright with adding extra lore to scenes, but I don't like it when it conflicts with events in the film. Mr Big's episode was easily the best of course. I still think it's weird that they named the film differently between the US and UK. Zootopia vs Zootropolis. I also wonder if for the series they kept the regional differences with the news anchors, as that had several different animals depending on where in the world it was for, in the film. I think like with Baymax I would've preferred a straight up sequel film, but I don't mind these mini series. Whereas with Monster's at Work & Dug Days, I think they work better as a midquel/sequel shows, as I don't think a sequel film to Monsters Inc would be that good, and with Up the main story has been told to its fullest and definitely doesn't need a whole other film. It is a shame though that Monsters At Work was animated by a Canadian company ICON Creative Studio, which does slightly impede Pixar's unusual mind-blowing animation & rendering. Also makes it feel that little bit non-canonical? Idk I get weird on these things. Maybe this is just an example of Pixar being more focussed on their films being one complete story that doesn't require as much in regards to sequels.
