Trivia: It is revealed in the special features of the Blu Ray that there was a cut scene during the briefing at the police station, in this scene Chief Bogo tells the officers 'Real cops suck it up, they are tough and stay tough' Now this possibly makes a small error continuity make sense, during this scene in the final film we see the clock in the background go from 8:30 to 8:33 in less than three minutes. It is very likely that this scene would have taken place at this time, making the sudden time skip not seem so obvious.

Zootopia mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the landlady shows Judy to her "luxury apartment" note the position of the vertical deadbolt lock affixed to the front door and jamb, but the next morning when Judy leaves for the ZPD, as she unlocks the door the deadbolt lock has moved higher up on the door and jamb (note wallpaper). Additionally, just as Judy opens the door we can see that although the interior deadbolt is affixed higher, its key cylinder on the exterior side is much lower, which makes no sense, but then the deadbolt is back to normal.

Question: When Nick first appears on the screen, he walks in front of a big truck driven by a ram. Is the ram driving the truck Doug (Bellwether's sniper who composes the serum)? Also, when Judy and Nick confront Bellwether at the museum, is Doug the ram who blocks the doorway (dressed as a cop) Judy and Nick try to escape through or a different ram?

John Ohman

Chosen answer: It is possible as this ram does sound very similar to Doug, but there are also many similar character models in the film that look the same but have very minor visual differences, the only true way to know would be if one of the creators reveled the identity of the ram.
