Which district would you want to live in? I think Savanna Central would be nice.
>Nice weather
>Comfy suburban homes
>Has the stadium, Town hall, and loads of parks
>>81345378
I prefer cold, but the A E S T H E T I C of Tundratown leaves a lot to be desired.
I'd probably just live in the center, that seems to be the most moderate of the zones
liberate dawn
>>81345378
>>81345493
Yeah, Tundratown looked a little dull. Only problem I see with the center, is that it's like Zootopia's Midtown Manhattan, I can only imagine rental prices would be through the roof.
>>81345378
I want to see what the Canal District looks like. It looks fun. Like Venice or Amsterdam maybe.
Just how big is the Sahara Square Oasis Hotel though? It's got it's own fucking subway line, so that's how big that monstrous palm tree is?
>>81345646
It's basically Trump Tower. It was Lionheart's canon place of residence, beforeHe got arrested, but it's also a casino, resort, apartment building, hotel and office building among other things, so I can only imagine it would have to be YUUUUGE.
>>81345753
I was thinking even bigger than that? Like one of those Acropolises from Simcity 2000?
whatever district judymy gf :3lives in
This thread has more posts. Everyone abandon thread
>>81345373
>>81345646
>>81345806
Well, the "Oasis" is essentially Zootopia's very own Vegas strip, so it kinda makes sense that it would get it's own line. On top of that, the rest of Sahara Square is pretty Sparsely populated, so they wouldn't need all that many different loops.
>>81345378
Downtown because the least autistic weather patterns
>>81345520
You won't be liberating her with low-quality screencaps, anon.
>>81345989
Oooooh, I assumed it was just the hotel. So it's essentially like a super-densely-populated square, with the hotel in the middle? That makes more sense. And maybe the line is a small cab like a monorail or something.

>>81346432
That turned out real well for him last time, hope you're not an otter.
>>81346493
Otterton was in the back seat though, not the front seat.
>>81346547
True, I'm still confused on that scene though. How the fuck did a fully-grown otter manage to slip through that little sliding door? The cab was completely seperate, save for the mail slot sized opening.
What the fuck is going on with this new bullshit layout!

Google, not quite content with hiring moot, decided they would buy his Singaporean Lobster Recipe trading forum as well, then proceeded to stylize it as Google+, so they could have at least one successful Social media website.

FUCK OFF.
Anyone have a link to that short outdoor interview with byron and rich that confirms nick and judy in love being a totally acceptable and lovely thing? That shit made me smile
>>81347961
How about instead we post something more constructive.
Zootopia seems to have a fairly active crime problem, judging from the graphs in the bullpen. I wonder what kind of drug problems they have.
>>81347961
Nah man Gideon is shit, I just enjoy these darker images that stresses the relationship that has developed between Judy and Nick.
>>81347884
Probably the Meadowlands/Canal District.
>>81348054
>all that catnip smuggling
>the naked panther in the nudist club was probably snorting that shit off her bare legs
My dick can only get so hard.
>>81348054
They don't have drug problems. A few anons have brought up the whole nighthowler serum as a stimulus during sex though. If weed exists and Yax does it then I could also see dmt and zoocaine being possible.
>>81348130
Is she holding a propane tank?
>>81348127
>They don't have drug problems.
how can they not have a drug problem, unless they've legalized all forms of narcotics? And since it's clearly based on New York City I find that hard to believe.
>>81345378
Tundratown since I'm white
>>81347961
It's literally one Gideonfag that acts like a shitlord, we're allowed to like Gideon, he was a cool dude. The only cancer is grimdarkfags and those obnoxious /k/ posters that derail and ruin the thread for everyone else.
Anyway.
SEQUEL CONFIRM WHEN
>>81348130
>>81348171
It looks like bear mace or something, so it would probe be something they would use to disperse a riot in zootopia since it is non-lethal. Sort of how like the police uses mace or tear gas in this situation

Look it's not based on our history. For all we know zootopia is a place that has a completely different view on drugs than humans do.
Or the goats ate all of the naturally growing ones.

>The city center has nothing but porn advertisements
I wonder if a furry drew this
If you live in Little Rodentia cops can do literally nothing to you. It's totally free.
I'd want to live either in the center or the rainforest because it's really interesting.
>>81350560
Little Rodentia has its own police force.
>>81350610
Where is that shown?
>>81350560
Like Big isn't providing "protection" there
>>81350512
It's like the times square of the red light district
>>81346680
Did you not see Nick and Judy just climb right through the window, both of them being much larger than Otteron or his wife?
>>81345378
Wouldn't it depend on what species I am?
There are no humans. Not one. Don't even ask. You can't be the last human. You can't be the first human. Just no.
>>81351500
When people try to do this I want them to attempt to make the rest of them like the hamsters or Tigers in human form and see how that looks side by side.
>>81351587
Obviously the question is ignoring that. You can live wherever you want as long as there's space for you. Not that you'd want to.
>>81350239
I'm a texasfag and I actually disagree. I love colder weather because you can just warm up.
Put on more layers, get under a blanket, whatever.
When its hot, you can only do so much before you are just SOL. I can't fucking sleep on hot nights either, I'll find myself waking up choking. Shits horrible.
>>81351712
My warm blooded brother.
Clearly those that live in these terrible warm places are some kind of lizard to be able to enjoy it.
Give me some place cold, where it rains a good amount of time and I'll be a pleasant pup, I will.

Well they are ads for those baddragon toys so probably

Hold on for a second.
>Bright orange line, goes outside of the city
>Is called the Bunny Burrows line
Do you mean to tell me, that the railways station at the start, was actually no railway station at all, just a subway line, and somehow Bunny Burrows specifically is connected with Zootopia?
Is there like no other direction from where animals come from?
What is this?
>>81352483
Either the next or last stop must be Bunnyburrow
>>81352483
It's like an AMTrak line.
>>81352483
More importantly, why didn't Judy switch lines at Oasis Hotel?
>>81352701
No see, that kind of makes sense.
She either wanted to see all of Zootopia on the way, or she simply had no idea yet as to which line connects where, so she was just a bit lost.
>>81352701
Her stop was in downtown. Would have had to change trains twice to get there from Oasis hotel
Also probably wanted the train tour of the city.
>>81352783
>>81352701
Actually, I'm blind. I didn't see the red line.
Though perhaps it would have gone in the same direction as the orange line which means she would have made about the same time.
Surprised nobody posted the more detailed map for reference yet.
>>81352879
So Nocturnal district is presumably underground, though I wonder where specifically. In Downtown?
And where is outback island?
>>81353071
The "line"between Sahara Square and Svannah Central is in a general north south direction.
Outback Island, and it's surrounding area, is south of the Zootopia city center, across the river.

Is that a new record or something ? it's impressive
>>81348040
I think they said interspecies relationships in Zootopia are canon even though we didn't see any. And then they made fun of Nick and Judy's kids being called funnies or boxes.
>>81354422
...source pls
>>81354807
I didn't even know what zootopia was when I saw it for the first time.

Chances are if Nick and Judy get together, they will adopt.
I just ordered the nick plush off of amazon purely to sleep with and snuggle.I have no shame
>>81355427

>>81348704
Judy lost that apartment when she went back to her parents farm and Nick lives under a bridge so, why not? I bet they would move in together to share the rent on a bigger 2 bedroom apartment.

Thats hardly an official announcement.
But it does make it seem like a sure thing
I wish I could draw Judy. I would draw so muchJudy.

the general fan theory is that Nick's mom can't work due to either workplace discrimination or some disability, and Nick sends her all the money he earns so she can stay in her apartment, while she believes he gets it from working an honest job.

And Bogo assigned Judy to Meter Maid duty thinking it might have been safe.
>>81356172
To be fair, just because he's estranged from her doesn't mean he wouldn't be able to send checks to her. Especially if we take Byron's tweet into account and she is living in the same place he grew up with her.
>>81356206
Can't post it here because its r34. Its somewhere on FA and its not the best art.

No I subscribe to the "He sends money to her" theory
I just doubt its "She thinks he has an honest job" I'm pretty sure she knows hes a conman.

Here in your corner of the pen you go over the files and consider your first move
>>81356808
You have three real options that are very real and serious cases for a real cop
there is nothing suspicious about them
except, of course, for the suspicion that criminal activity is happening

Well, on the plus side, at Nick's worst he's definitely a nicer and more moral character than Rick, even if that's the definition of damning through faint praise.

>The criminal activity first.
YOU DID IT
"Little Lemmy"'s plans have been foiled and the criminal activity has been stopped dead in its tracks, thanks to the hard work of plucky young Officer Hopps
it was a rousing and incredible case but you've struggled through the adversity and with your wits and the help of your friends you succeeded
there wasn't even any remotely sexual content or anything

I think ALL SIZES has far-reaching potential, should definitely check that out in case it could get out of paw
>>81356979
just realize that hanging them on your motorcycle would quickly render them dirty, beaten up, and probably falling apart.
Do you want a battered and weather-worn nick and judy?
>>81357014
I got the impression they're watching in the back of Finnick's van or maybe a storage unit.

Seriously though, do these in /tg/ if you want, let's not start needless drama. These threads have been fun so far.

It's over, Susie. You can breathe.
>>81357137
It was 3 panels long and almost certainly not intended to be a serious quest. Lighten up.

Judy would be fucked in a riot, unless its in the lil mouse place.
Best
>>81357094
I feel silly for not seeing this one coming.
>>81357137
Weird question, but do you think maybe this could have been fun if we hadn't all been walking on eggshells about potential drama and just enjoyed it as it was?
Are we limiting our enjoyment of everything on 4chan because we fear "it's the next MLP"?
>>81357123
A 3d Constanza Judy reaction image or have I been here too long?
I'm doing a little coloring work to pass the time, I hope the guy who made this pic doesn't mind

I mean they've already done that on previous days. But it only really matters as far as this movie goes.
But yeah, right now they aren't an official couple
>>81357266
Argh! See? This is what I mean, we were so busy thinking about the negative possibilities we couldn't enjoy it and missed obvious signs.
>>81357271
Sadly, no. Pretty sure Disney itself is going to keep the "friend" stance for a good while, if nothing else, so they can develop actual romance in a sequel.
They may have learned from Frozen about letting a romance develop too much off-screen/post movie.
