During the production of an animated film, it is normal to have different versions of the final product, deleted scenes, and script changes before arriving at the finished version. It’s all part of the process; it happens. What the producers cut or left out of the final version honestly doesn't matter. The first film had entire scripts—and even parts of the animation itself—discarded to achieve the final version, which is wonderful. Remember when the discarded scripts were revealed in the *Zootopia* art book? Do you know why they were scrapped? Because the "shock collar" version was too dark—and it’s a good thing they got rid of it. Just imagine: if they had kept it, the franchise would have been dead on arrival, and Disney would have buried it out of embarrassment. What is canon speaks for itself. In the second film, the production clearly shows how much they respect and love the characters—even if there are deleted scenes fans wish had made the final cut (like that alternate opening where Nick and Judy share a nose-touch). Of course, it’s cool to learn about the behind-the-scenes details and the production process, but that serves to highlight the creative journey that gave rise to the version we love so much—the version that features the most romantic and beautiful declaration of love between Nick and Judy. It is a relationship built on partnership, affection, and mutual care. #wildehopps #zootopia
