Hey, happy to see you in another video! Today, we are going to go over the mistakes you missed in
the animated movie Zootopia! Even though the movie became really iconic, eye-eagled fans
noticed that there are still quite a few mistakes in the film. Have you noticed any, by the way? We
recommend you grab your popcorn and stay till the end to know all the mistakes you missed in
this amazing animated film. Let’s get it started. It would be fair to ask you one question before
we start talking about the mistakes that were made in this Disney movie.
How many times have you watched Zootopia? How many mistakes have you noticed and have you
noticed them at all? We are dying to know because, to be honest, when we watched the movie for the
first time, we were so excited with the plot, so we didn’t really catch anything. But. Watching
the second and the third times opened for us so many bloopers that we’ve missed before. You’d be
surprised but we found 10 most noticeable mistakes and right now we are going to reveal them!
Number 10 – The Place for Mammal Vehicles or Mammal Vehicles?
Even though Zootopia is definitely one of the coolest Disney’s movies, it has plenty of errors.
Of course, some of them are really difficult to notice but there are also many things you just
can’t miss! Many fans were quick to see the wrong placements of buildings or food. One of the things
like that was noticed in the DMV scene. This scene is definitely one of the most hilarious ones and
there was a really funny mistake. While at the DMV, Flash's screen reads “Department of Mammal
Vehicle,” or DMV. But if you take a look at the report he prints out for Judy and Nick,
it says “Department of Mammal Vehicles.” Moreover, you can also see the sign “Department of
Mammal Vehicle” outside by the building. The viewers, who noticed that were a bit confused
and they don’t know, should we all refer to the DMV as the place for mammal vehicles or
mammal vehicles? Have any ideas? Number 9 – 15 or one and a half dozen?
We all know that writing is one of the most important and difficult things when it comes
to screenwriting (and not only screenwriting), anyways, there’s a little error in the movie that
make the audience think that the Mayor Lionheart has problems with counting.
Yeah, you’ve heard that right! If you remember, in total, there were 15 missing mammals, and everyone
was focused on finding them. However, is it true that there were 15 of them? We all started to
hesitate when Mayor Lionheart announced that there were “one and a half dozen” mammals missing. So,
it turns out that the mayor really does not know how to count correctly? Or was it just an error?
Or there were even more mammals missing? Difficult to say but we think it was
just a mistake in the script. Number 8 – Mysterious Doughnut
Doughnut and cop – the biggest stereotype ever but, of course, the filmmakers couldn’t miss
an opportunity to use it in Zootopia. Clawhauser, the Police Department receptionist, became one of
the most lovable characters in Zootopia, mostly because of his love of doughnuts and pop music.
But have you noticed that Clawhauser enjoys doughnuts so much that one
magically ends up in his neck fold? But then the magic happens. Upon first meeting him,
Clawhauser moves his head enough that you can tell there’s no doughnut there. This blooper made tons
of fans think that Clawhauser basically can just produce doughnuts from his body. Is it his super
mystical power or something? Number 7 – Change your skin
Another very, very noticeable error was made during the scene when Judy attends
her first meeting as a member of the Zootopia Police Department. There are many other
animals over there and she decides to sit near a timber-wolf officer. But then the magic happens.
The officer changes his fur color! He literally changed his fur as one second it was white,
and then the next, it turned into brown. We all know that Timberwolves don’t really change their
skin that fast, right? But it seems like Zootopia has a fast-acting salon where wolves can change
their fur color between quick camera shots. Number 6 – The missing purse
One of the most common bloopers in every movie is when one object appears and then
disappears and appears again. This is exactly what happened in the very first scene involving
Mrs. Otterton. Mrs. Otterton came to the Police Chief Bogo’s office holding a family photo,
with her purse hanging on her arm. But in some closeup shots we can notice that her
purse disappears. But after cutting back to a wide shot, the purse is back on Mrs. Otterton’s
arm. Magic again? We don’t think so. However, you have to be very attentive to notice this error!
Number 5 – Misspelling We don’t want to be real nerds
but we caught a really annoying mistake that will definitely be caught by the eye of someone who is
crazy about grammar and other things. Even though law enforcement officers are known for being tough
and making sure others follow the law, sometimes they break the law of neat writing and make
grammatical errors. Of course, they are super busy and always in rush but such an incident occurs in
Zootopia. While looking through the case file regarding Emmett Otterton, if you look closely,
you’ll notice that the word “witnesses” is actually misspelled, reading “wittnesses.”
Yeah, this mistake is not a big deal but it was made, so we had to include it in our list.
Number 4 – Prey assumptions In a Zootopia world all animals are categorized
as prey and timid. Many attentive viewers began to wonder if the movie is actually trying to
compare rabbits and deer to rhinos and hippos? It may sound very strange, but they categorized
all animals that are herbivores as prey. It is really weird because this movie literally
shouts about the importance of diversity but they assume that the rabbit and rhino are in
the same situation if they meet a lion. We are pretty sure that a hippo or rhino can easily
take out a lion. But what about rabbits? They usually don’t fight with lions at all!
Number 3 – Who is Duke Weaselton? After watching Zootopia many people had one
big common question - Is Duke Weaselton really a weasel? Difficult to say, to be honest. Some fans
have said that he is just a stoat due to his tail. Maybe that makes sense as Weaselton has a long
tail with a black tip, which is a characteristic for a stoat. But if you think deeper, an ordinary
weasel has a short tail with no black tip. If you are not a weasel fan and you don’t know much about
these animals, it is really difficult to answer whether Weaselton is just a lesser known form of a
weasel that is only seen in specific areas. If you are a weasel lover and you know how to answer this
specific question, let us know in the comments section down below! That’s not a mistake much,
we just all need to know who Duke Weaselton is. Number 2 – Disappearing again
Coming back to our most favorite kind of bloopers – disappearing objects. Another mistake was made
by filmmakers in the scene when Judy examines the Otterton case file. While discussing the file with
Clawhauser, a box of doughnuts on the left side disappears only to return several shots later.
We bet, if Clawhauser was real and noticed that his box of doughnuts suddenly disappeared,
that would be a big drama! But it was not the only mistake in this scene. On the right side
of the screen, there’s a nameplate as well as a coffee mug. In a couple of shots, the mug changes
its position and eventually disappears. There’s no way we judge the animators for being inattentive,
we all understand that it is really difficult to keep these errors from happening,
but objects in scenes shouldn’t just disappear and reappear. But we all love Zootopia so much
so these little errors don’t even make the movie worse.
Number 1 – Tax Evasion Nick was the one who didn’t really
want to pay taxes and Judy kinda caught him on it. But if you watched this moment very attentively,
you may have noticed that the way Judy was keeping track of her notes was not really proper.
While totaling Nick’s total income for the year, Judy was making notes. She ends up turning the
page of her notebook; however, after a camera angle change, Judy is still on the first page,
and her notes have mysteriously disappeared. Have you noticed any other bloopers? If so,
let us know in the comments section down below. See you in the next episode! Bye bye!
