** Made even more heartwarming is that she says this during a peace rally where the activists includes both prey and predator species (some are even holding each other hand in hand). It comes to show that despite the vast majority of the city's population gripped with fear and paranoia and are unjustly persecuting predator citizens who have done nothing wrong, there are prey citizens who are coming to their defense.

** Judy's parents overcoming their fear of foxes and starting to work with Gideon Grey because their daughter's actions made them more open-minded. Unlike Nick, he's fairly bigger and bulkier than them, and yet they don't seem to be even remotely afraid of him, even if before they considered foxes scary enough to have a taser just to deal with them. This is made all the sweeter since it happens after FantasticRacism against predators exploded and Judy considered herself responsible for it.

* During the panic, [[TearJerker the higher-ups of Zootopia remove Clawhauser from the front desk because they don't want mammals to see a predator face when they first walk into the ZPD]]. While he's obviously extremely upset about it, he uses his calm tone and choice of diction to make it clear to a distraught Judy that he does ''not'' blame her or anybody else for what happened. Just as well, Judy is noticeably concerned upon seeing Clawhauser gathering up his things. Despite his accidental insensitivity during their first interaction, Judy clearly cares about her fellow officer.
** Also, there's the fact that Chief Bogo, when given the order to do so, could have easily fired Clawhauser, but instead of doing that, he moves him to the records station. While Bogo ''is'' a MeanBoss, he ultimately cares for those underneath his command; transferring Clawhauser to Records was the best and only thing he could do to help him at that point. Also, after everything gets cleared up and the conspirators get caught, Chief Bogo wasted no time reinstating Clawhauser as the front desk officer.

* The fact that ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' was such an enormous success is a heartwarming story in and of itself. After spending over a decade making lackluster theatrical films and downright bad sequels, prequels and so on, Disney finally got back on its feet with three big hits (not counting Creator/{{Pixar}}, of course): ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''. All three films were musicals and fairy tales featuring (mostly) human characters. So, after the enormous success of ''Frozen'', what does Disney do? They create a movie that ISN'T a musical, ISN'T a fairy tale, and ISN'T centered around human characters. They create a modern-day Aesop fable with social satire that would probably go over many kids' heads. And not only that, but at a relatively late stage in pre-production, they had to change the ENTIRE story and shift the focus onto a different character. And what did they get for thinking outside the box? One of the most critically, financially, and popularly successful films of that year AND in Disney history.
* The ''Zootopia'' Christmas Image titled [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cwyep1n.jpg "Happy Howlidays"]], which was posted on Byron Howard's Website/{{Twitter}} account. Judy looks so happy in this picture. To make it doubly adorable, the "Santa Claws" she is hugging is Clawhauser.
* Following the death of Brian Bedford, the voice of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'', the movie director [[https://twitter.com/ByronPHoward/status/687445016982065153 Byron Howard made a tweet after he heard the news of his death]]. He even mentioned how ''Robin Hood'' gave him a lot of inspiration for ''Zootopia''.
* For Byron Howard's birthday, [[https://twitter.com/byronphoward/status/680824096167333889 David Gilson sent a cute illustration featuring Judy and Nick]], which he later posted on his Twitter account.
* In an interview, Music/{{Shakira}}, who voices Gazelle in the film, [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=fwgoZm-o2OQ mentions that she scored "Cool Mom Points" for her role in the movie.]]
* The fact that, after test audiences found the initial premise too dark, they rewrote the entire thing in order to correct their mistakes and make it LighterAndSofter. And lots of people loved the final product.
** After said initial premise came to light, it became apparent that it would have had an audience who loved it just as dearly. Whether these people enjoy both stories or prefer the darker one, there's been a touching surge of fans exploring the premise through fanart and Aus, cobbling together bits of test footage, and generally preserving [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifRh0rMEGM8 what could have been.]]
* Pretty much the whole [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN-VbcBfBl8 “Selfies” video]] where Nick is trying to take a selfie...[[IneffectualLoner only for Judy to try to get into the picture.]] By the end of the short, Nick pretty much agrees to take the selfie with Judy, [[OppositesAttract showing that he's fond of her in spite of their different personalities.]]
** As Nick prepares to take the picture, Judy uses FlashStep to [[NoSenseofPersonalSpace join the selfie by placing her cheek next to his face]] as they wait together. It's quite the most affectionate that Judy has been shown to Nick outside the trailers. Even when an annoyed Nick pushes her way, she joins the picture by giving him [[TheGlomp a surprise hug,]] showing that she considers him her friend and ''really'' wants to be in the picture with him.
** Despite receiving a JumpScare from Judy in the first picture, Nick's second selfie has him jokingly resting his arm on Judy's head and the rabbit complying with a smile on her face.
** The third selfie has Judy attempting to recreate her initial selfie attempt with Nick.
** The fourth selfie has Nick holding Judy by the scruff of her neck. Despite receiving a second JumpScare in the previous selfie, he's very comprehensive of her. Likewise, Judy looks guilty for scaring Nick and ruining his selfies.
** The last selfie has Nick and Judy finally having their perfect selfie.
* For the Chinese ''Zootopia'' campaign, Byron Howard [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fxith2q.jpg made this poster]], which shows [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Baymax]] holding Judy and Nick.
* Byron Howard also made this picture as a tribute to the Chinese Lantern Festival with [[https://twitter.com/ByronPHoward/status/705808298558160898 Nick holding a lantern version of Judy]], which is very adorable, to say the least.
* At Momocon 2016, Tracy Yardley drew [[http://i.imgur.com/ZSA4ij4.jpg this sketch featuring Young Nick]] getting hugged by [[VideoGame/SlyCooper Carmelita.]]

* As bleak as the original draft may have been, as cruel and oppressive and unjust, the fact that it ended with the shock collars coming off for good. Even a world as broken as "Zoodystopia" can learn to be better.
** To add to the ending, once predators were finally free, Nick would reopen Wild Times, now renamed Wilder Times, which welcomed all mammals. And the first guest he invited to his new park was Lieutenant Judy Hopps.
* Byron Howard, one of the film's two directors, adds fuel to the fire to the Nick/Judy ship by drawing not one, but ''two'' [[https://dog-gone-it.tumblr.com/post/140936933194/byron-p-howard-zootopia-fan-art fanarts]]: one depicting [[Series/DoctorWho Nick as the Tenth Doctor with Judy as Rose]], and [[Series/TheXFiles Nick as Mulder with Judy as Scully]] in another - for anyone who missed it, ''both'' are the OfficialCouple of their respected series.
** At least one piece of official marketing art depicts Judy and Nick back-to-back, with Judy [[NecktieLeash playfully holding Nick's tie tight over his shoulder]]; a pose almost universally reserved for LoveInterests. (It's the page pic for BarefootCartoonAnimal.)
** The other director of ''Zootopia'', Creator/RichMoore, appears to be a big fan of the pairing. On Twitter he replied to a FanArt of Nick meeting Judy's parents and being introduced as "her boyfriend", and he stated that there is a [[DeletedScene deleted scene]] similar to this and [[TeasingCreator teased]] that he will try to include it in the [[DVDBonusContent blu-ray release]]. However, although he has [[https://twitter.com/_rich_moore/status/713871114171064320 given his blessing to]] [[PortmanteauCoupleName "Wilde Hopps"]], he has also admitted that [[https://twitter.com/_rich_moore/status/714321133554634752 the ship is not canon]] at the current time.
*** The deleted scene in question has a bit more to it than that even. Judy and Nick head to Judy's apartment to find her folks waiting for them. After a brief shock, Stu mistakenly assumes that they are dating. They never correct him, Nick even reinforces his fear by asking if he can call Stu "Dad", but they're touched when Nick defends Judy and convince them to give her a chance to prove herself, and when he asks for a final clarification on the way out Judy just slams the door in his face.
** Byron Howard responded similarly in that the two are currently JustFriends, but whether or not that will change is undecided.
** Interestingly, Nick’s line at the end of the movie is much more direct in the German version. While “love” can be interpreted in several ways, here, Nick says “Du weisst, dass du auf mich stehst”, which directly translates to “You know you’re into me.”
** And downgraded in the Swedish dub, where he says the more platonic "You know you dig me", since "love" is more romantically charged.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmRbEeFzgSk countdown video]] with Nick, Judy, Finnick, Yak, Lionheart, Clawhauser, Bogo, Doug and so on.
* As is pointed out on the FridgeBrilliance page, Nick's signing, when it comes up, may be a slight hodgepodge of different styles but for the most part, he's using accurate sign language. A nice touch given that fake signing can be taken as offensive.
* The deleted "Homesick Hopps" scene, where Judy talks to her mother on her phone. Bonnie asks her about her first day on the force and is proud of Judy's desire to make the world a better place. She gives Judy some words of encouragement and the scene ends with Judy laying on her bed knowing that the next day could be much better.
** We also get a glimpse of some of Judy's other family members, including a sibling who is cuddling and kissing a stuffed animal bunny. Also, Bonnie is shown holding a newborn baby bunny.

** That said, while notably her fellow officers seated by her looked at her with a mix of curiosity and [[TheLoad "why us" for having her there]], Officer Rhinowitz DID take up her offered "Bro-fist" about wanting to make the word a better place. He could have easily ignored her, or made it hard enough to knock her out of her seat. It also should be noted the Wolf and Tiger's looks were more "Look at the naive rookie" than judging her for being a rabbit. FridgeBrilliance when you realize that both being predators means they probably had to deal with prejudice most of their lives for what species they are, despite, you know, not having a choice to be born into them. It also should be noted those same three officers are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Judy later at Gazelle's peace rally.

** The dancing married couples at the end are both cute for a particular reason. The film presents so much love between a husband and a wife, even if it is just subplot matter rather than one of the main focuses of the film. Mr and Mrs Hopps' and Mr and Mrs Otterton's actions throughout the movie speak of years of unending love for each other. Fans who ship other non-married (potential) couples like Nick and Judy, as well as Flash and Priscilla may hope that they reach that point in the future.

* Byron Howard, one of the film's two directors, adds fuel to the fire to the Nick/Judy ship by drawing not one, but ''two'' fanarts: [[https://dog-gone-it.tumblr.com/post/140936933194/byron-p-howard-zootopia-fan-art fanarts]]: one depicting [[Series/DoctorWho Nick as the Tenth Doctor with Judy as Rose]] in one, Rose]], and [[Series/TheXFiles Nick as Mulder with Judy as Scully]] in another - for anyone who missed it, ''both'' instances are the OfficialCouple of their respected series.



** The other director of ''Zootopia'', Creator/RichMoore, appears to be a big fan of the pairing. On Twitter he replied to a FanArt of Nick meeting Judy's parents and being introduced as "her boyfriend", and he stated that there is a [[DeletedScene deleted scene]] similar to this and [[TeasingCreator teased]] that he will try to include it in the [[DVDBonusContent blu-ray release]]. However, although he has [[https://twitter.com/_rich_moore/status/713871114171064320 given his blessing to ]][[PortmanteauCoupleName "Wilde Hopps"]] he has also admitted that [[https://twitter.com/_rich_moore/status/714321133554634752 the ship is not canon]] at the current time.
*** The deleted scene in question has a bit more to it than that even. Judy and Nick head to Judy's apartment to find her folks waiting for them. After a brief shock Stu mistakenly assumes that they are dating. They never correct him, Nick even reinforces his fear by asking if he can call Stu "Dad", but they're touched when Nick defends Judy and convince them to give her a chance to prove herself, and when he asks for a final clarification on the way out Judy just slams the door in his face.
** Byron Howard responded similarly in that the two are currently JustFriends but whether or not that will change is undecided.
** Interestingly, Nick’s line at the end of the move is much more direct in the German version. While “love” can be interpreted in several ways here, Nick says “Du weisst, dass du auf mich stehst.” in the German version which directly translates to “You know you’re into me.”

* The deleted "Home-sick Hopps" scene where Judy talks to her mother on her phone. Bonnie asks her about her first day on the force and is proud of Judy's desire to make the world a better place. She gives Judy some words of encouragement and the scene ends with Judy laying on her bed knowing that the next day could be much better.
** We also get a glimpse of some of Judy's other family members including a sibling who is cuddling and kissing a stuffed animal bunny. Also Bonnie is shown holding a newborn baby bunny.

** Also adorable is the moment when he realizes she's standing on his tail and she apologizes and steps off. It's a small moment, but it's an adorably awkward way to end the scene and makes their relationship seem a9ll that much more real.

* When she first arrives at the station and meets Clawhauser, Judy clearly feels he's being condescending, and indicates that she finds the word "cute" inappropriate. He immediately issues a flustered apology and makes his remorse clear. It's a heartwarming first impression of the ZPD, and grows more so when Judy realizes the rest of the force [[EarnYourHappyEnding isn't nearly as understanding.]]
