10 Zootopia Jokes Disney Fans Missed
Zootopia may have been packed with the more obvious funny moments, but it also has plenty of more subtle jokes for fans to catch.

Zootopia is a brilliant Disney film that covers serious issues such as racism and sexism in the modern world. Starring Ginnifer Goodwin (Judy Hopps) and Jason Bateman (Nick Wilde), the two use their excellent voice acting skills to portray characters from totally different backgrounds who must come together to solve Judy’s first case as a police officer. While this Disney flick manages to tackle serious issues, it still is able to offer plenty of laugh-out-loud jokes throughout. Some of these jokes are brilliant, yet hard to place without careful inspection. So without further ado, here are some of the best jokes from Zootopia that you might have missed!
10 BREAKING BAD REFERENCE
In the scene where Judy and Nick sneak into the lab that creates the serum which is making the aminals go “Savage”, they overhear a phone conversation with one of the lab workers, a sheep named Doug, is discussing business matters with his boss.
As he is on the phone, he mentions how “Walter and Jesse are back so I have to go now.” Doug is also dressed up in a lab outfit that is nearly identical to the ones that Walt and Jesse iconically wear on Breaking Bad. Adults watching the film with their kids must’ve beamed at the reference from one of the most successful TV shows of all time.
9 JUDY’S DISNEY MUSIC PLAYLIST
When Judy Hopps is on her way to Zootopia to pursue her dream of becoming the first bunny police officer, she decides to pump herself up while on the train by listening to music.
As she scrolls through her music playlist, the songs that appear are all parodies of Disney songs with animal twists including “Let it Goat” from Frozen (Let it Go), “Part of Your Wool”, from The Little Mermaid (Part of Your World) and “Ara-bunny nights” from Aladdin (Arabian Nights). There are countless cute little animal parodies of pop culture references in this movie which most people didn’t catch until doing some closer digging.
8 FAMOUS MUSICIANS GET ANIMAL RENDITIONS
The Disney Songs on Judy’s music playlist weren’t the only ones to get animal parodies. As Judy scrolls through the musical artists on her phone, she also comes across several famous musicians we all know and love that get their own animal renditions. These artists on her playlist include Fleetwood Yak (Fleetwood Mac), Fur Fighters (Foo Fighters), Guns N’ Rodents (Guns N’ Roses), Hyena Gomez (Selena Gomez), Kanine West (Kanye West), and Mick Jaguar (Mick Jagger). Zootopia is always finding creative ways to associate our modern world with the animal universe and this is just one of the many examples.
7 STORES IN ZOOTOPIA ARE ALSO “ANIMALIZED”
As stated previously, almost every pop culture reference in Zootopia gets its own animal pun to it, and this includes famous stores and advertisements we all know and love. When Judy first goes to Zootopia, she takes everything in and gazes up at all of the billboards, shops, and ads, in a location that is strongly reminiscent to Times Square in New York. These stores and ads include Mousey’s (Macy’s), Targoat (Target), Preyda (Prada) DNKY (DKNY), Just Zoo It (Just Do It), and Lulu Lemmings (Lulu Lemon). Zootopia never fails to impress us with its “punny” abilities!
6 SLOTHS AS DMV WORKERS
The sloths in Zootopia were perhaps the funniest element to the whole film and their slowness in the midst of urgency was frustratingly hilarious to viewers… because as much as we wanted Judy to solve the case of the missing otter in order to keep her job, we couldn’t help but crack up at the sloths for their impossibly slow nature.
Yet the fact that they are sloths isn’t the only reason they’re slow. What really causes them to be doubly unhurried is because they’re sloths who happen to work at the DMV. The DMV is known for having workers that move at an incredibly slow pace, at least according to stereotypes. Adults watching with their kids most likely got a kick out of the scene if they’ve ever had to suffer through the DMV.
5 ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
The idiom that suggests that there’s an “elephant in the room” implies a situation where an issue is weighing on people yet no one is willing to address it. In Zootopia’s case, there actually is an elephant in the room, and it’s her birthday! In the scene towards the beginning when Chief Bogo (Idris Elba) goes over a few things to the team to discuss, he includes the fact that “we need to address the elephant in the room.” He then turns to Francine, an elephant, and wishes her a Happy Birthday. This is just one of the first of many cute little animal puns to kick off the movie.
4 FROZEN OUTFITS
During a brief moment in the film, you can see two little elephant kids dressed up as Anna and Elsa from Frozen. Disney loves referencing other Disney films in their movies, and here is a clear example of this. During Zootopia, you can also catch a baby in a stroller with a Mickey Mouse plush doll, you can catch the genie’s lamp from Aladdin, and all of Duke Weaselton’s bootleg DVD’s are Disney films (some that haven’t even come out yet, as he proudly states). There’s nothing better than a Disney crossover moment, and no one does it better than Zootopia. But believe it or not, this isn’t the only Frozen reference in the film…
3 LET IT GO!
There is a scene in Zootopia where Cheif Bogo references Frozen and Disney fans were quick to pick up on his reference to one of Disney’s most popular songs of all time, Let It Go, sung by Idina Menzel. Perhaps making fun of their own brand, Chief Bogo tells Judy “Life isn’t some musical where your dreams come true, so let it go!”. It seems as though Disney films are becoming more and more realistic over the years compared to the fairytale element these films had originally thrived off of. Perhaps one of the first Disney films to be considered more practical and realistic was Frozen because of the way it portrays love and relationships. Now Zootopia is following in Frozen’s footsteps (and referencing it quite often).
2 ARTICULATE
In 2007, Joe Biden referred to Barack Obama as “articulate”, a term that is considered to be pretty racist and condescending in nature when in reference to a minority. In Zootopia, Judy (a bunny) refers to Nick (a fox) as being “a real articulate fella” and Nick hilariously responds to her by pointing out how condescending she sounds. This is definitely a joke that most younger viewers wouldn’t be able to catch, yet older fans of Zootopia might have been reminded of that cringe-worthy moment involving Biden and Obama, surprised at the very least that something as innocent as a Disney film would take on such a topical and adult reference.
1 WHO VOICES THE SLOTH?
Celebs. They’re just like us! They get obsessed with things and geek out over them just like we do. Taylor Swift is known for her obsession with Law and Order. Jason Segel is obsessed with puppets. Kristen Bell is obsessed with… sloths? That’s right. Kristen Bell finds nothing more adorable than those slow little creatures, and she famously had a meltdown on the Ellen Degeneres Show when Ellen brought out a sloth for her to meet. This is why her voiceover cameo as one of the sloths from the DMV is so adorably iconic.
