We would love that. We love the mammal metropolis of Zootopia, the characters and we are really happy that audiences worldwide enjoyed the movie as much as we did. And that makes it a lot easier to imagine doing a sequel.

We can’t imagine exactly what it would be about, but definitely one thing that we would have to address is Judy and Nick’s relationship. A lot of fans have asked us, are they just buddies, are they best friends, are they potential love interests? We left it pretty wide open at the end of the first one, apparently. So if we ever do a second one, that’s definitely something that needs to be addressed. And it’s fun to think about.

Byron Howard adds… With some of the best sequels, like Empire Strikes Back, which I just watched that not too long ago, it’s amazing to see how each character evolves and they didn’t stay stag, they didn’t just say okay well Luke is this for the first movie and he stays there or Han and Leia are this, they change. When I’ve seen really good sequels, like Godfather II and things like that, what I really enjoy the most is where they take chances with characters and do something new that makes logical sense with what they’ve setup in the first one.

What do carnivores in Zootopia eat?

Good question. A lot of predators can’t survive without protein. For example, we learned in our research that wolves cannot survive without proteins. So in the movie, if you look very closely at one scene where Nick is walking through an alleyway making fun of Judy and saying she’s never gonna be a real cop, if you look to the right-hand side of him, when he moves through that fence, there was a little box from a fast food restaurant called BugBurga. And BugBurga is an insect protein fast food joint for predators where they can go and enjoy cricket chips and grasshopper shakes and cicada burgers. It’s all ground up insect protein that they love.
