Click here to read Shepherd Project’s discussion of Zootopia.
Dad: Ever wonder how your mom and me became so happy? We gave up on our dreams and settled. … That’s the beauty of complacency.
Mom and Dad: It’s great to have dreams, just so long as you don’t believe in them too much.
Gideon: That predator instinct’s pretty much in our dinna.
Gideon’s friend: I’m pretty much sure that’s pronounced DNA.
Gideon: Don’t tell me what I already know.
Instructor: You’re dead, fluff butt!
Judy: You were a great dad and just real articulate!
Nick: Everyone comes to Zootopia thinking they can be anything they want, but they can’t. You can only be what you are.
Judy: Tomorrow’s another day!
Neighbor: Yeah but it might be worse.
Nick: Never let ‘em see that they get to you.
Nick: I learned two things that day. 1. I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me. 2. If the world was only gonna see that I’m shifty and untrustworthy, then there’s no point in being anything else.
Judy: Sir, it may be time to consider their biology.
Judy: Clearly, there’s a biological component. Predators are reverting back to their savage state.
Nick: Are you afraid of me? Do you think I could actually eat you?
Bogo: We don’t just blindly assign blame. We don’t know why these attacks happen, but it was unresponsible to assign blame.
Judy: I‘m not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it.
Bogo: Don’t give yourself so much credit. The world has always been broken.
Gideon: Did you understand any of that?
Mom/Dad: Not one bit.
Gideon: That makes me feel a bit better. I thought she was speaking tongues or something.
Bellweather: Judy, we’re on the same team. Underestimated, underappreciated.
Bellweather Fear always works.
Judy: When I was a kid I thought it was this perfect place where everyone got along… Turns out real life is a little bit more complicated.
Judy: I implore you…Try. Try to make the world a better place. Change starts with you and it starts with me. It starts with all of us.
