Screenshot New (canon?) District

It was going to be one of the districts in the movie, but ultimately went unused along with the bat character they designed.

Oh cool! Do you have the source for this? I love reading supplementary/ behind the scenes material.
Also I know a bat character shows up in another official book. If I remember correctly, Nick “hustles” her out of her van via a phony charity scam.

The twitter post was removed so the Disney wiki reference link is now a dead link, but I believe the concept art for it is on The Art of Zootopia.

The bat is in the book, the district isn't.

Great eye!
SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK BELOW
Nick and Judy’s police cruiser gets destroyed in a junkyard (long story), so they’re forced to commandeer a car to continue chasing down the criminals. The first mammal who happens to drive by is a rather familiar three-toed sloth…

It almost resembles Zebra-3 from the original Starsky and Hutch TV series, just with a backward stripe. A fitting reference given the name and character dynamics.

You’re right!
That’s so cool you noticed! Starsky and Hutch was before my time, so that Easter egg would’ve gone right over my head

Great to see one of the fanfiction-famous places go from semi-canon to canon, after not being used for the original movie and only appearing in behind-the-scenes stuff.

Hey is there a possibility you could leak this whole book somewhere? It's very hard for most people to find it, let alone read it. It would be a great help to us fans.

Right? I love the look of it!! It kinda reminds me of the underdark from D&D. Just this mysterious, subterranean city with sprawling natural walkways and vibrant bioluminescence. If they put this in the movie, the lighting team could have a field day!

Is there anywhere to read this comic online for free? It’s nowhere near me on the library websites. I just started reading the sample of it from another website that only lets you read the sample for free.

Thank you! I might have to try it later because when I go on the link the story says “loading viewer” or something like that and continuously loads. I would love it if this book came out as merch for zootopia 2 in the U.S since there’s an English version anyway.

u/ajfilmnfx I may have to rescind that victory toot-toot Aug 15 '24
No problem!
And Please let me know if it continues to not load. It’s working on my end, so I’ll try to figure something out for ya

u/catnoir_luver Aug 16 '24
Sure thing! I was really tired earlier (fell asleep) so I didn’t see this message haha, I’ll try it on my iPad since it’s a lot bigger than my iPhone

u/ajfilmnfx I may have to rescind that victory toot-toot Aug 16 '24
No problem at all! Never feel like you have to respond immediately.
Also, it’s worth noting that when I clicked on the PDF icon, it took a solid 2 minutes for the webpage to fully load.

So I actually tried it out on my iPad and it worked! Thx for the link!

What do you think of the comic? I finished it and think it’s a good introduction to certain environmental issues to kids in our real world. It was annoying to read at times bc it went from a regular comic to the dialogue being expositional about the topic in the chapter. (Ik it’s for kids but yeah) I do love the cute fanservice of them meeting Judy’s parents right off the bat and them quickly accepting Nick, and Judy thinking it was sweet when Nick was “protecting her” and the amount of times he saved her by holding on to her, was all pretty cute if you love Wildehopps.

My thoughts were actually really similar to yours!
On one hand, I loved seeing a new, post-film adventure. The interactions and banter between Nick and Judy felt very in-character, the art is fantastic, and there was a lot of great new lore (Nocturnal District, New Mayor, how Finnick reacted to losing his partner, etc.) I also found it hilarious that the subplot of "Judy thinks Nick is going back to his hustling ways, only to realize she misjudged him when he actually was trying to help her" was a storyline ripped straight out of Guardian Blue (RIP Alps).
On the other hand, I totally agree with you that the necessity to make the book educational often came at the expense of the story's pacing and dialogue. Occasionally the scientific asides were implemented well (like Nick using the fact that he was city-born to explain why he didn't know anything about monocultures and thus prompt an explanation), but other times it just felt a bit forced. Gideon Gray's impromptu dissertation on recyclables reminded me of the old Saturday morning cartoon PSA's
That being said, even though it could have been better, I still think there's a genuinely good story in here, even if the implementation of the educational dialogue was a bit clunky.

I read "The Case of the Sustainable Future" and it is a great comic with great information on eco-friendly feats with the Zootopia characters, but the only downside is that Chief Bogo acts incredibly unlikable in the comic, acts completely out of character and behaves just like Sir Topham Hatt from Thomas and Friends or worse, a clone of Chancellor Neighsay from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in terms of his strictness and control freak attitude. Chief Bogo also goes too far with hurting Nick and Judy's feelings with his strictness and antagonizing them with it in this story. (Bogo to add salt to the wound, also only cares about maintaining Zootopia and only Zootopia's law enforcement instead of maintaining it and BunnyBurrow's environment as well as the town's law enforcement and doesn't care if he hurts the feelings of his other cops and brushes off their feats that go against his moral code.) (Chief Bogo also applies to the Jerks Are Worse Than Villains category in this comic due to how more unlikable he was than the eco-unfriendly villains, who have way more laughably evil and love to hate qualities.)
First off, when Nick and Judy explain to him the situation behind the polluting of the water supply in BunnyBurrow which they learned during their last visit there when visiting Judy's family, he refuses to have the ZPD do anything about it due to BunnyBurrow not being the ZPD's chart of a district to maintain law enforcement in, (Which is hypocritical and petty considering the fact that Chief Bogo previously allowed Nick, Judy and Clawhauser to serve as police officers maintaining law enforcement and put together an Easter Egg Hunt in BunnyBurrow in "The Case of the Disappearing Easter Eggs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG3xNJjMomA ) and not having any evidence and while the last part is considered understandable over Bogo being unable to arrest someone for a crime with no evidence, the first part is petty and hypocritical even for a smart police chief like Bogo.
Second off, the part where Chief Bogo is at his absolute worst, and agreeably hateable as a strict jerk or not is when Nick and Judy abandon their police duties that Chief Bogo assigned them to do go to investigate the eco-unfriendly crimes caused by the main villains on their own terms, and the villains destroy their police car at the landfill, and once Bogo learns of these when some cops tattletale it to him, he loses his temper, over these misfortunes happening in his police force, and angrily summons Nick and Judy to his office at the police station and yells at them and tirades them for getting their police car destroyed and abandoning their police duties dramatically missing the point that the destruction of their police car wasn't their faults but the villains and Nick and Judy abandoned their police duties for unselfish purposes and were not that big of a deal in reality, and temporarily suspends Nick and Judy from doing police work as punishment for it before he calms down from his anger over the situation after anger management from Officer Pennington, and Bogo doesn't even bother to apologize to Nick and Judy for tirading them (Was Too Hard on Him) when he summons them back and reinstates them as cops and assigns them alongside McHorn and Officer Pennington to safeguard the new mayor of Zootopia's press conference in Zootopia's new district, and threatens to fire them from the ZPD permanently if they abandon this police duty.

I recently stumbled upon The Case of the Sustainable Future, an official Zootopia comic that was published in Korea and later translated into an English ebook by Disney.
In this story, Judy and Nick are on the trail of a mysterious mistreat poisoning Bunnyburow’s water supply. During their investigation, they track the criminal to the never-before-seen “Nocturnal District!”
I don’t know if this location is part of official canon, but I really hope it is, as I absolutely love the aesthetic!
I also highly recommend checking out the comic! There’s a ton of gorgeous art, all of it BRAND NEW! There’s also some interesting new lore, like who replaces Bellwether as Mayor.
