* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite being Nick's partner in crime, and despite the fact that he seemed legitimately concerned for Judy when Judy asked him where Nick is, we don't see what happens to him after Nick gives up their "business" for being a cop. He's also nowhere to be found at Gazelle's concert.

** Judy gains his respect by solving the missing mammals case, he even tries to comfort her when she believes that she made Zootopia worse due to her comments on the savage predators, causing widespread discrimination.

** When Judy gains his Bogo's respect by solving the missing mammals case, he even Bogo tries to comfort her when she believes that she made Zootopia worse due to her comments on the savage predators, predators causing widespread discrimination. He even pointed out that there has always been discrimination among animals in Zootopia even way before Judy joined the ZPD, and that they need good cops to counter them. However, this doesn't make Judy any better; Bogo even looks saddened when Judy willingly resigns from the ZPD due to her feelings of guilt.



'''Bogo:''' Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops... like you.

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse


* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Despite all the other characters being {{Barefoot Cartoon Animal}}s, she wears high heels. Ironically, Shakira DoesNotLikeShoes in RealLife (at least for when she's performing).

Changed one instance of "hares" to "rabbits" (Judy is not a hare)


* BarefootCartoonAnimal: {{Downplayed|Trope}} compared to almost every other character.[[note]]The major exceptions are Mr. Big, who wears spats, and Gazelle, TheOneWhoWearsShoes; also, some of the other cops have footwear similar to Judy's.[[/note]] As the image above shows, she does have some sort of footwear when in her police uniform, but it leaves her toes exposed. Could also be a bit of a [[invoked]] GeniusBonus since, due to hares being a digitigrade species (ones that walk primarily on their toes), her feet are technically uncovered since they would be her primary method of walking were she on all fours. However, when Judy is not wearing her police uniform, she is completely barefoot.

* ShoutOut: Her middle name (mentioned only by the director), "Laverne", is the first name of Sgt. Laverne Hooks from ''Film/PoliceAcademy''. Like Judy, Laverne is a female officer of small size with an otherwise friendly, mild temperament that leads many to believe she can be easily bullied, only for them to be proven wrong when her temper finally snaps. Much like Judy, Laverne's arc in the first move revolves around her earning the respect of her peers.

* NearVillainVictory: Bellwether has Nick and Judy trapped in a museum exhibit and darts Nick with the Night Howler serum to turn him savage. He hunts down Judy and with her back against the wall, he lunges forward to crush her throat while Bellwether looks on triumphantly thinking her plans will be successful ... only to discover, whoopsie, it was all part of a BatmanGambit and Bellwether's gloating has been recorded leading to her arrest, the collapse of her plans, and an end to the civil unrest that had been plaguing the city.

* GoodIsNotDumb: Upon meeting Nick for the second time, she makes it perfectly clear that despite the [[NaiveNewcomer na&iumlveté]] she displayed during their first encounter, she is most definitely ''not'' just a "dumb bunny," and promptly uses her knowledge of the law and some quick calculations to force Nick into working with her. In general, her intelligence is one of her greatest weapons, which she uses to overcome what would otherwise be obstacles due to her size or due to police bureaucracy. It allowed her to figure out that Bellwether was the BigBad when she wonders how Bellwether knew where to find them and to set up a BatmanGambit with Nick to [[EngineeredPublicConfession capture Bellwether's evil gloating]] leading to her arrest.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He acts very effeminate at times. He is obsessed with Gazelle, a female pop star, with no apparent component of attraction. Some of his body language suggests it, and his voice is a breathy tenor. He also has an exceptionally elated reaction to discovering Chief Bogo is also a Gazelle fan. It's made more ambiguous by the movie's tendency to play some stereotypes straight and invert, subvert, or defy others. In ''Zootopia+'', he dreams of himself and Chief Bogo performing a very flamboyant dance in flashy, revealing costumes at an audition to become Gazelle's backup dancers.
