that would be an interesting concept

Oh, GOD. Seeing cool character designs like these makes me wish Disney did so much more with Zootopia. I have the art book, and I watched pretty much every behind-the-scenes interview about Zootopia.
In the art book, there is a chapter about unused locations. The 3 biggest ones they scrapped are Wilde Times amusement park (the most known one that was directly involved with the original script), a "slums" place where the goats and sheep live (the directors wanted a scene in a bar in that location), and a "cliffs and caves" section where the nocturnal residents of Zootopia live.
If a sequel were to come out, I really want Wilde Times integrated into the story as Nick's backstory, and have that scrapped badger character introduced as Nick's long lost business partner.

iirc those slums were either Happytown or a part of the Meadowlands, and the other was the nocturnal district. It makes me wish that the theory about the warehouse near the bridge where Judy apologized to Nick being a failed version of Wild Times that he owns and never could get going, so he kinda just lives there is real, just to keep that part of the world building canon.

Oh, and good (and kinda bad) news, there is a sequel coming, it got confirmed on a fucking earnings call of all things. I really hope it's at least half as good as the original, but it's hard to trust the mouse nowadays. Though it would be nice that zoot 2 becomes the one movie that breaks that trend of Disney not knowing how to make sequels. Well, a man can dream.

Nah, forget about unused places. Where are my scalies?? "Just mammals" is meh...

Jk, would be cool both unused places AND non-mammals
