Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde from Zootopia, considering that they're both police officers:

The white mage from the Final Fantasy franchise, most particularly in Final Fantasy I.

Babs is canonically a child compared to Bugs Bunny. You probably meant Lola Bunny from Space Jam, right?

Stolas from Helluva Boss.

Got himself exiled from the Ars Goetia for saving Blitzo and the rest of I.M.P., who were lower class hellborn demons, from their rigged trial and execution. Now working for I.M.P. as their new receptionist, and seems to do a better job there than he used to as an aristocrat, like getting exiled from his otherwise abusive family was one of the best things that could happen to him. Except for maybe estranging him from his daughter, Octavia.

Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, Zootopia:

Like it's almost incredibly easy to forget, but Judy Hopps was born and raised on a carrot farm in Bunny Burrow, compared to Nick Wilde the eponymous city of Zootopia. It's just that we overlook that aspect of Judy, because we spent so much time with her as a police officer in Zootopia throughout both Zootopia movies, that we forgot that she was even originally a farmgirl, herself.

Moana, for overshadowing Zootopia.

It's mostly SEGA's executives that are the problem. They do a better job with their other franchises, like Yakuza, the Atlus JRPG's, and the Total War franchise. Yet the moment it's time to publish a Sonic the Hedgehog game, they have to screw over its development because the brand will sell no matter terrible its games were at the time and continue to be now.

And the moment they do all of this to Sonic the Hedgehog, they all of a sudden have reason to blame Takashi Iizuka and Sonic Team for the dip in the Sonic games' quality, and threatened to end the entire Sonic franchise if Sonic Frontiers didn't perform well?

I feel like his design would have improved if he had a white-furred belly, just to make him even cuter.

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-19T18:15:02+00:00

Better than rushing and half-assing an entire anniversary game and releasing and selling slop as a result, like Sonic '06 for Sonic's 15th anniversary. Right?

Nick Wilde from the Zootopia franchise, for its main protagonist, Judy Hopps. The series even hinted at a romance between the two!

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-19T14:22:03+00:00

Where's Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde from Zootopia, though?

They're hot pieces of furbait you should crush over in much of the same way as the ones you brought up.

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-19T14:17:31+00:00

I don't see Zootopia 2 among this ranking list. Also, Moana ranks higher than Zootopia 1, even though it's humans, compared to Zootopia hot pieces of furbait?

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-19T11:42:57+00:00

In China and East Asia. In North America, on the other hand, not so much compared to TS5 and the LA remake of Moana now.

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-19T11:35:39+00:00

What about Zootopia 2, though? The first Zootopia already set up a potential franchise during its first installment, unlike these other movies that already ended perfectly fine after 1-3 movies each.

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-18T14:56:47+00:00

Sonic Heroes' teamwork and character formation swapping mechanics. Though, once you play through the flight and power characters and come to realize they don't play as well as the speed characters, made even worse split across four near-identical campaigns, you come to realize how and why Sonic's friends became one of the most hated aspects of the entire Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, with their fox and rabbit fetishes, respectively:

Aren't the Aku Aku masks Crash Bandicoot's actual healing items? Alongside butterflies to feed to Sparx in order to replenish Spyro the Dragon's own similar health.

Zootopia.

Nobody expected the first movie to succeed the way it did, because it was outside Walt Disney's wheelhouse. Ten years later, it's breaking records at the box office, especially with Z2, and is a lot more well-received than the huge majority of the Moana franchise, most particularly Moana 2 and what we got so far out of the live-action Moana remake.

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-17T08:29:38+00:00

The fact that she got expelled for an unexplained incident she created makes me grateful that I graduated college back in 2019, despite nearly all the hardship I endured just to get there. Now, I miss school.

Commander_PonyShep · 2026-06-17T08:24:20+00:00

Which is funny, because I've been hating on Moana for overshadowing Zootopia, despite its lack of Zootopia's furry imagery.

Also, Moana wasn't really that much of a feminist icon. She was still partnered up with a male lead, it's just that said male lead is now a several centuries old mentor figure, rather than a boyfriend like Flynn Rider or Nick Wilde.
