History WMG / Zootopia

This is sorta related to, but not necessarily dependent on, WMGs such as the one directly above this one that put Zootopia in the same universe as other WorldOfFunnyAnimal media that [[CarnivoreConfusion completely ignore predator/prey issues]].

Simply because romance between male and female leads is becoming cliche. When was the last time you saw a platonic male/female relationship as the main relationship in an animated film? The last I can remember is ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''. (And no, ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' doesn't qualify, since Ralph and Vanellope are of different ages.) At best, there will be a bunch of {{Ship Tease teasing}} between Nick and Judy.

And unlike the [Film/TheGodfather original]] [[DomesticAbuse character]], he's a NiceGuy who doesn't want anything to do with the [[TheMafia family business]].

** [[spoiler: Confirmed for how the HatePlague works. Jossed, sort of, for who gets "afflicted" among the principal characters.]]

due to the wide variety of species with very different needs (wildly different overall sizes, different leg lengths and girths, size and placement of the tail hole on the pants, etc). Instead, everyone has to visit a tailor to get all their clothes custom-made.

** Consider the age of the apartment: The external wiring (the switch on the wall has wiring on the surface of the wall), the "greasy walls," the coat-rack, the hardwood floors that have seen much use all suggest a place that is easily a century or two old. Even in our own universe, such apartments lacked bathrooms -- they were communal. Judy must've been really hard-up to have to rent there! Reminds one of the room Elwood had at the beginning of Blues Brothers.

[[WMG: Due to the wide variety of species with very different needs, cheap mass-produced ready-made clothing never became economically viable in this world.]]

* Even if it isn't a historical documentary, ''The Lion King'' could still be a popular movie; one of the pivotal scenes involves Simba switching from the "barbaric" consumption of prey species (zebra, antelope, hippo, etc.) to a more "civilized" insectivore diet.

* Alternatively, it could be possible that ''The Lion King'' and ''The Lion King II: Simba's Pride'' are merely this universe's incarnation of ''Hamlet'' and ''Romeo and Juliet'', the famous Shakespeare plays.

All of the above inconsistencies go away if you assume Bellwether was anonymously informing Lionheart about the attacks ahead of time. Taking over a city government is a risky venture at the best of times, you don't want the added uncertainty of doing so while the public is rioting in the streets. Causing a panic was therefore only the second stage of Bellwether's plan, first she needed to secure her place as mayor while things were still nice and peaceful. The first stage of her plan was to anonymously feed Lionheart information about the impending attacks, let him capture and hide away the savage predators, even silence witnesses where necessary in order to keep the whole thing hidden from the public, and wait for the police to discover the illegal detention facility. Only once she was firmly in control would she move on to stage two, striking openly to incite panic to push her anti-predator agenda, as indicated by Doug saying his next attack, the first after Lionheart's arrest, is going to make the news. No wonder the poor lion was in such a foul mood most of the time, he knew he was being played like a fiddle but unable to do anything about it. Even though he's in jail during the credits, he's a lot happier and looks like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders.

Like something bad happens to Nick that make him upset in the sequel, it could be anything. Nick is a character who hold in his emotions. In a weird way, I think that Nick sort of blames himself for being bullied. Logically he's know it isn't his fault but emotionally he feels like it is his fault. Judy is probably one of the few people that Nick truly does trust in Zootopia. I feel that Judy should break down those doors to let Nick out.
