Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) wants to be a cop. It's her one and only dream, but she's told "no" at every turn. She's too small, they say. No rabbit has ever gotten into law enforcement. Her parents (voiced by Bonnie Hunt and Don Lake) want her to continue on in the family business of carrot farming. But she's a determined little cottontail, goes to the police academy, defies the odds, and not only graduates, but graduates at the top of her class. She heads out on her own, for the first time in her life, to Zootopia, where she hopes to fulfill her dream of busting bad guys and keeping the world safe for animals of all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, she's treated to her size. None of her co-workers, including her chief, Bogo (voiced by Idris Elba), believe in her abilities. She's relegated to meter maid duty, but she becomes determined to be the best meter maid she can be. That leads her to a chance meeting with a sly fox scam artist named Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman). She falls for his ploy but quickly learns the truth about who he is. She also finagles her way into real police work: a missing person's case. Bogo gives her 48 hours to solve the case or turn in her badge for disobeying orders. If she's going to work that fast, she'll needs help. She turns to Nick, blackmailing him to her cause. The two develop a friendship as they unravel a mystery that could have dire consequences and unseat the harmonious balance between predator and prey animals.
