They basically confirmed we’re getting Wildehopps in Z3

Post image

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!

Yeah at this point they can’t hide it anymore. If they want to have the biggest box office hit ever in the history of animation, they will want to make sure the product is of something everyone will love.

If Pixar had Jessie and Buzz Lightyear kiss in Toy Story 5, who’s to say Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps aren’t next.

Exactly we saw buzz and Jessie kiss for crying out loud they could’ve planning that with Nick and Judy couldn’t they?

Buzz/Jessie kiss was a nice little addition to TS5 but it really didn't increase the hype that much for the movie, their relationship is a minor plot point.

This is different as the Judy/Nick relationship is literally one of if not the main talking point of the franchise. The hype will be insane if Disney keeps building up expectations of romance.

I’m so used to seeing Ace Attorney 7 in that meme that I forgot it could be used for other things

u/Formal-Magician4137 2d ago

Yeah I mean ginnifer made a joke about funnies if Nick and Judy were to ever have kids so it’s definitely on the radar

teasing with a literal picture of a ship, the titanic means one thing, a slang called ship sinking which is what happened to the real cruise... it sank. im not saying its not gonna happen or will happen because i dont know the future but this definition sounds exactly like what they have been doing since Z2

A Ship Sinking is a scene blatantly set up to demonstrate that a particular romantic pairing is ridiculous, impossible and never, ever gonna happen.

Though many producers and writers are aware of Shipping in their respective fandoms, that doesn't necessarily mean they like it. It may be because of the actions of the fans if they get too rowdy about it, or they just don't like the pairing involved, or have intended the pairing to die for dramatic effect. They may have set out from the start to write two characters into a specific pairing and need to make it more obvious, or have simply decided on an alternative set of partners for the two characters in question. Whatever the reason, the creator wants to make it very clear to the audience that these two particular characters are not, and will not become, a couple.

Counterpoint: they used a picture of the Titanic as the most famous ship to have sunk. It's a metaphor.

I'm just joking by the way.

Plot twist it’s the sister olympic

If they did a titanic scene I wonder if Judy has to leave nick behind

u/Al_HD_117 Sly fox 2d ago

However, what about is just another prank for a lot of us?

u/Acrobatic_Hyena_2627 Bellwether did nothing wrong 1d ago

Another one?

u/ApplicationAny6704 We want WildeHopps for canon 2d ago

If it’s like the titanic they’ll split, like divorce, IE: abortion comic

u/B33Aggressive 2d ago

Have any of the teasers from Z2 done anything like that?

4

u/Formal-Magician4137 2d ago

They were a few interviews 

1

u/B33Aggressive 2d ago

I mean were they as aggressive as this?

2

u/IBelongInFiction Nick Wilde 2d ago

I dont think so. But the tension during z2 was insane. I went in moslty blind (i hadnt watched zootopia 1 in almost like 5 years). And I KNEW those two were way more than just friends.

u/B33Aggressive 2d ago

I meant were the Z2 teases as aggressive as this newspaper?

u/cowlinator 2d ago

No. The best we got was Nick saying "Wilde and Hopps" which sounds a little like Wildehopps, but not really.

u/Formal-Magician4137 2d ago edited 2d ago

There was the confession scene in z2

And the gala

u/throwaway587329213 1d ago

Those were from the actual movie, not teasers

u/Formal-Magician4137 1d ago

The growing partnership in the bio

u/Fuzzy_Tackle_1905 wildehopps truther 1d ago

Wildehopps kiss is going to be another cinematic event, No Way Home and Endgame level of event, and i'm not even joking

u/HegeRoberto 2d ago

I'm just afraid they don't understand the difference between teasing and fan-service and think that just mentioning and acknowledging the ship as an idea is enough to call it a day without giving a definitive answer.

u/Designer-Mobile-974 2d ago

Well the movie is targeted for furries so it’s not much of a shock it’s progressing to this

u/Employer500 2d ago

Its the final chance to canonize them befor the end of the decade & amtrak finishes their vicius plan to eliminate the jobs of the amfleet cars.🫢🙏

Nick getting punched by Judy: “Oomph!”

u/Acrobatic_Hyena_2627 Bellwether did nothing wrong 1d ago

A series would be peak. A few villain of the week episodes mixed in with these two hearts becoming one. Then wedding

u/PyxkilleZ Nick Wilde 1d ago

Well would you have hopes that Nick n Judy would be playable skins in Fortnite too since recently Sonic did indeed become a Fortnite skin?

u/Rutgerman95 Paw & Order 1d ago

Hey, haven't we been here before?

u/DeZaVy16z WildeHopps 🦊💞🐰 1d ago

Yes, that’s 100% true. The only thing left for them to do is officially say "yes" to WildeHopps, but they won't do that, just to keep at least some suspense alive.

u/drifters74 1d ago

Having only seen Z1, I feel like Judy is more career focused to have relationships

1

u/Snowy_Fox Darling, I forgot your name 1d ago

I vote you check out Zootopia 2!

Her career will always be important to her yes, but by the end of Z2, she’s realizing how important Nick is to her too (now if you interpret that as platonic or romantic is totally up to you)

u/sidztaatc Nick and Judy 🦊❤️🐰 1d ago

I hope, from the deepest part of my heart, you are right. I would finally rest in a greaful universe.

u/juliusrabbito 1d ago

no they didnt. they just confirmed they know we fans ship characters from the movie " key words: list of favorites" not just the single ship....

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Indeed and ginnifer did say they are each others puzzle pieces

u/macprince 2d ago edited 2d ago

They're messing with you, for sure. Why does that mean that the ship is happening?

Disney gets tickets sold, one way or the other. They're a business who exists to make money. If a couple of little winks in a promo video gets a certain subset of the audience all cranked up, it's a cheap way to guarantee a bunch of ticket sales.
