You were expecting more out of Duke Weaselton? Why? I thought it was pretty obvious he would be a minor character. Actually, the fact that he even became relevant again towards the end was more than I expected. XD
Well, despite the existence of Weasel Mascot, fictional weasels are for the most part stereotyped as bad guys. I was hoping that the movie would play around with this stereotype like they did for other animals.
Also, I\'ve been thinking about this movie, and I\'ve decided: Besides the whole part about the villain, my biggest problem with the movie is that it didn\'t do enough. They have created a very unique, complex world, and I would love to see more of it. This movie deserves a sequel.
Check out this fancast I made! Any votes would be greatly appreciated!
That\'s not really a \"problem\" so long as they make one, and they had BETTER make one. It serves as a fine introduction on its own.

My new favorite movie.
Gosh, what can I say? I loved almost everything about this movie - the animation was spectacular, the soundtrack was great, the story was well written, the humor was excellent, the characters were fleshed out and lovable - I could go on and on.
Although I don't consider myself a furry, I can say with complete honesty that I felt much more emotionally attached to these characters than I did for the cast of Frozen. To be fair, Frozen is a great movie, even though I like to make fun of it. But I think that Zootopia's world - despite being populated by anthro animals - is more realistic. However, it somehow still manages to capture the optimistic Disney spirit.
Bonus points for being pretty dark at times - they actually show cuts and wounds (but no blood oozing out, thank goodness), and even a Jump Scare!
There's only one thing I didn't like - the villain. After this character is revealed to be evil, they don't really do much, just boss around the henchmen. I was really hoping they would fight Nick and Judy hand-to-hand and get a dramatic death scene. I guess it's good that Disney is trying to go for more realistic and less Obviously Evil villains, but come on, Disney! Some of us think Evil Is Cool! I have high hopes for Moana's villain, whoever it may be. If the movie is a musical, he or she better get an epic Villain Song!
Actually, one more thing I disliked. Someone theorized on the WMG page that Duke Weaselton wouldn't turn out to be such a bad guy. But guess what? He turns out to be even worse, by working for the Big Bad! I was really hoping he would make a Heel–Face Turn! I feel like They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character!
Aside from that, I loved the movie. My favorite character was Clawhauser, because he really reminds me of myself.
On a side note. I'm not ashamed to admit that - even though I'm a guy - I squeed a few times while watching (not out loud, though. Too manly for that. :3) But can you blame me, especially with the scene at the beginning where it shows the characters as kids? Kids who don't sing annoying songs about building snowmen?
