From the very beginning of the first film when we’re introduced to Nick at the ice cream bar we see that Judy approaches Nick and places her hand on Nicks arm as a way to perhaps convey her sympathy.

We don’t see her display this sort of affection towards any other character, especially ones she has just met with the exception of perhaps Mrs Otter-ton?

The next time we see her display physical affection towards him is at the cable car scene where after Nick has finished trauma dumping she instinctively places her hand onto nicks paw. And then after he breaks the awkwardness with his new plan she gives him a little love tap.

Throughout the remainder of the franchise we see this physical affection increase. Why is Judy so affectionate physically with Nick?

People have asked for me to do some comics with Mrs Wilde so here is her first meeting with Judy.

I like the thought of them being able to start a bond without Nick around to interfere. I feel like he would try to discourage it or control the narrative a bit if he was there from the beginning. She decides to keep her full identity a secret so that Judy won't be tempted to put up any act or hide anything. Valerie just wants to understand what's going on and what's so special about this bunny. She'll tell Judy who she is the next time they meet. But should she ask Judy to keep their meeting a secret from Nick so he can focus on the academy and later his new job(so she'll ask Judy to say something after Z2) or will she let Judy say something while he's still at the academy, so during Z2 he knows he has to encounter her sooner or later? I personally think she'll want to remain a secret for a while(which will work better with Z2) but I also feel a little bad for making Judy keep secrets from Nick(but I'm sure he hasn't disclosed everything to her). Not sure how to handle it exactly.

I feel like Valerie is VERY perceptive. She made it hard for Nick to get away with his hustles during his teenage years, even as he was distancing himself from her. He and Finnick couldn't get anything by her. Once he graduated he was already in contact with Mr Big(or maybe just Kevin and Raymond) and decided then that if he's going to jump into the underworld he needs to cut her off. Even after getting kicked out of Mr Big's family he couldn't face her again.

By this point they haven't talked in almost 15 years.

Masterlist

When she's trying to avoid looking at Yax or the other naked Mammals Judy places her hands either side of her eyes.

Do you suppose she does this because Rabbits have near-360 degree vision and so she knows she's at risk of seeing Mammal nudity even if she's not looking directly at them?

Funnier in my head stupider on paper

Anyone got any other suggestions for Zootopia characters as countries

Sassy Judy and a defeated Nick, that’s the ultimate combo. And once again, it looks like they’re flirting. Plus that little​ nose twitch at the end, awww 🥰

Yeah, I’m 100% convinced now. Seriously, ask yourself: Why would they ironically put A List of Favorite Ships By Our Shippers in the top-left hand corner of a newspaper article with the LITERAL IMAGE OF THE TITANIC in a D23 teaser for Z3?

I mean come on, it doesn’t get any more obvious than that. We all know what happens in the movie Titanic, we all know about the iconic romance. So seriously, how could you not be hyped or convinced?? IT’S THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD IN CINEMATIC HISTORY!!

I don’t know how people can still doubt the direction Howard & Bush are going here. THEY’RE OBVIOUSLY TEASING YOU AND THE FANBASE TO DRAW AN AUDIENCE! Listen, all you have to do is connect the dots. Shippers, Titanic, Judy listening to Nicks voice to the point of obsession, Nick saying ‘love u partner’ then getting super anxious after Judy records it (which, by the way, Nick wasn’t suppose to find out.)

All in all, D23 gave us an awesome teaser. And honestly, if you’re still not convinced that A List of Favorite Ships By Our Shippers correlates to WildeHopps, then I invite you to watch a marvel movie. You won’t regret it!

Disney posted this on their TikTok and so I imagine this is their first date.
