The Kickstarter goal was $750,000, with a max stretch goal of $3 million, and 45 days to fund the project. Within the first hour, the group had already exceeded $1 million, and within ''less than half a day'', already passed their $3 million stretch goal. By the end of the 45 days, the group had funded ''$11 million'', enough to turn what was originally a one episode special into a 10 episode series.

** Judy is grudgingly given a missing mammal case, and 48 hours to find him by fed-up Chief Bogo; otherwise, she must forfeit her badge. With help from LovableRogue Nick Wilde, Judy not only finds Emmett Otterton, but the other 13 missing mammals as well. And then, she deduces ''why'' these mammals went savage, and obtains an AccidentalPublicConfession from the BigBad. Way to go, rookie!
