Judy Hopps

P30: “ZPD Officer Judy Hopps beings her journey in Zootopia as an optimistic bunny from Bunnyburrow, a suburban dweller entering the big city. She learns some difficult truths during the film, but she retains her optimistic spirit and eve gains and unexpected new fiend in Nick Wilde, a streetwise fox.

As the story evolved, Hopps’s personality became more optimistic and naive, which influenced her design. Her face became more open, her eyes got rounder and brighter. “But Judy mostly stayed the same throughout all versions of the story…she’s an underdog who has to try way harder than the others, just to prove that bunnies can be cops.” -Nick Orsi

“Hopps is one of those lucky instances where we captured her character in the design early on and have just been refining her ever since…she hasn’t had many problems and has been a touchstone whenever we’ve had difficulties designing other characters. Everything worked on her.” -Cory Loftis

Caption 1p31: “Even in an early pitch, Hopps and Nick had a great buddy dynamic. But I really wanted to tell this story because it’s about bias and prejudice. It’s important to discuss.” -Joss Trinidad, co-head of story

Caption 2p32: “We couldn’t use leather, so the belt on Hopps’s uniform is made out of Kevlar, with heavy nylon pouches. The rest of her uniform is neoprene so that she will be comfortable in all the types of weather and conditions of Zootopia.” -Cory Loftis, art director of characters

Caption 3p35: “In Hopps’s animation, we tried to celebrate both her rabbitness and her female nature. She’s a tough bunny, but she’s still feminine. She’s sweet, but she’s not weak. And when she’s on high alert, her natural instincts take over- ears and nose twitching, foot thumping.” Kira, Lethomaki, animation supervisor
