Plot:
In a world inhabited by anthropomorphic mammals, Judy Hopps, a rabbit from rural Bunnyburrow, fulfills her childhood dream of becoming the first rabbit police officer in the city of Zootopia. On her first day at the Zootopia Police Department (ZPD), Chief Bogo gives Judy parking duty, and during her shift, she is hustled by a con artist duo of foxes, Nick Wilde and Finnick. The next day, she abandons her post to arrest small-time crook Duke Weaselton for stealing a bag of crocus bulbs. Later, while Bogo is reprimanding Judy, Mrs. Otterton visits his office, pleading for someone to find her husband Emmitt, one of 14 missing predators. Without first seeking approval, Judy volunteers, and Bogo is about to fire her for insubordination, but the city's assistant mayor, a sheep named Dawn Bellwether, praises Judy for taking the assignment. Bogo has no choice but to agree, but makes a deal that Judy will resign if she fails to solve the case within 48 hours.
Having ascertained that Nick was the last to see Emmitt, Judy forces him to help her by covertly recording his confession to tax evasion. They track a limousine that picked up Emmitt and find his belongings inside. They learn that the limousine is owned by Mr. Big, an arctic shrew crime boss whom Nick has a history with. Mr. Big reveals that Emmitt suddenly went "savage" and mindlessly attacked his chauffeur Manchas, a black jaguar. Upon interrogation, Manchas explains that, prior to attacking him, Emmitt yelled about "Night Howlers". Manchas then suddenly turns savage himself and chases Judy and Nick. Judy traps Manchas and calls the ZPD for help, but Manchas vanishes before they arrive. Bogo demands Judy's resignation, but Nick reminds him that they still have ten hours left to solve the case. While leaving the scene, Nick reveals that as a child, he was bullied by his peers due to their prejudiced beliefs about foxes.
At City Hall, Bellwether offers Judy and Nick access to Zootopia's traffic cameras. They discover Manchas was abducted by timberwolves, whom Judy guesses are the Night Howlers. Following the wolves, Judy and Nick locates Emmitt, Manchas, and the other missing predators, who are all "savage" and imprisoned in a hidden asylum. Zootopia's mayor, Leodore Lionheart, ordered their capture, and is trying to quietly ascertain the cause of their feral behavior. Lionheart and the asylum staff are soon arrested for false imprisonment, and Bellwether becomes the new mayor.
Judy, praised for solving the case, asks Nick to join the ZPD as her partner. At a press conference, Judy accidentally implies that predators' biology is the cause of the "savageness" epidemic. Nick, disappointed at the disastrous outcome and offended by what was conveyed, angrily abandons Judy, whose comments incite fear and discrimination against predators throughout Zootopia. Wracked with guilt, Judy quits her job and returns to Bunnyburrow.
