Treachery. Bloodless. Thousands of years ago, these were the forces that ruled our world. The world was a prey for scared of predators. And predators had an uncontrollable biological urge to hunt and more. And... AAH! AAH! Blood! Blood! Blood! Uh-oh! Oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! And... Death. Uh-oh! Back then, the world was divided into vicious predators... for meat prey. But over time, we evolved. A move beyond our primitive, savage ways. Now, predator and prey live in harmony. And every young mammal has multitudinous opportunities. Yeah, I don't have to cow or an herd anymore. Instead, I can be an astronaut. I don't have to be a lonely hunter anymore. Today, I can hunt for tax exemptions. I'm gonna be an actuary. Ah, I can make the world a better place. I am going to be... a police officer! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Honey, God! That is the most stupidest thing I ever heard. It may seem impossible to small minds. I'm looking at you, Gideon Gray. But just two hundred and eleven miles away, stands the great city of Zootopia, where our ancestors first joined together in peace, and declared that anyone can be anything! Thank you, and good night! Judy, ever wonder how your mom and me got to be so darn happy? Nope. Well, we gave up on our dreams and we settled. Right, Bon? Oh, yes, that's right, Stu. We settled hard. See, that's the beauty of complacency, Judy. If you don't try anything new, you'll never fail. I like trying, actually. What your father means, hun, is it's gonna be difficult, and possibly even for you to become a police officer. Right, there's never been a bunny cop. No. Bunny's don't do that. Never. Oh, then I guess I'll have to be the first one. Because I... I'm gonna make the world a better place! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Or, uh, heck, you know, you want to talk about making the world a better place, but a way to do it, then becoming a carrot farmer? Yes! Your dad, me, your 275 brothers and sisters, we're changing the world! Yeah? One carrot at a time. Amen to that. Carrot farming is a noble profession. Just putting the seeds on a program. I had one with the soil. Just getting covered in dirt. You get it. Yeah, it's great to have dreams. Yeah, just as long as you don't believe in them too much. Or the heck, she'd help. Give me your tickets right now! I'm gonna kick your make-little sheep butt! Ow! Cut it out, Gideon! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! What are you gonna do, Cry? Hey! You hard-hearted! Cut it out. Nice costume, loser! What crazy world are you living in where you think a bunny could be a cop? Kindly return my friends' tickets. Come and get them. But watch out! Cause I'm a fox! And like you said, in your dumb little stage play, us predators used to eat prey! And that killer instinct still in our dinner. I'm pretty much sure it's pronounced DNA. Don't tell me what I know, Travis. You don't scare me, Gideon. Scared now? Look at her nose switch. She is scared. Cry, little baby bunny. Cry! Ah, you don't know when to quit, do you? Ha! I want you to remember this moment. The next time you think you will ever be anything more than just a stupid carrot-farmant dumb bunny! That looks bad. Are you okay, Judy? Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay. Here you go. Wow! You got our tickets! You're awesome, Judy. Yeah, that skinny grey doesn't know what he's talking about. Well, he wasn't right about one thing. I don't know when to quit. Listen up, Cadence. Who told me I had 12 unique ecosystems within a city limit? Hunker town! The Hara Square! Right for a system, two names of you? You're gonna have to master all of them before you hit the street. Oh, guess what? You'll be dead! Go and sandstorm! Your dad's bunny-bunkin' 1000 football! Your dad's parents' baby. Hand your eyes, Paul! Your dad's a bomb girl! The sea norm is criminal! The sea! The sea! The sea!
