'Wild Times' story

There might be sound glitch, but that was in original file provided by 4chan anons.

I actually wish they kept this like, just seeing THIS unfinished, idea, basically, felt like i watched an entire movie itself, like, wtf disney. I loved this so so so much

[SaramatheUnchained]

Just going to say it
They missed out on an entire part of Disney park with this idea

[snerrkthemerc]

If I made this a prequel, I would make it about Nicks father and how Wild Times taught prey animals that shock collars were not necessary any more. At least that's how it would fit.

No wonder nick is the best character. He has like an entire other movies thought in him. A whole background to his personality. Much more complex.

I'd drop everything and go to Disney world immediately if they opened a Wild Times themed section of the park. No joke.

[WHAATEVEN]

They could still use this storyline for a sequel/prequel tbh

[phantomstrider]

The shock collar made the message even more powerful. I can see it was a little too risky to implement for Disney. But it added a dark, beautiful twist from what I've seen.

"The whole plot revolved around them taking off their tame collars. In the story, it just...didnt have a place."
Dude you can hear the sadness when he says that. I'd much prefer the collar version of this movie. Nick would have made a much better protagonist

[twilightsky]

They fleshed it out so much...I'd totally pay to see this version!

[UDODNE]

I hate the fact that this sounded way more interesting that the one we got

[fwzel]

Predator attends collage
Predator is a successful student
Predator is praised by piers and teachers
Predator gets diploma
Predator: WOOHOO! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY-
*SHOCK*

Disney: oh what a splendid idea! BUT I DONT CARE!
the animators: we are going to release this footage anyway

[charlottei]

I wish they kept the original version, I like this darker version...and most important of all, Disney could have open a wildetimes section in Disneyland and I will pay all my money to go

[kimeojin]

It's so sad, how all these animators are really excited about this sequence.
Hundreds of animators and artists worked on this idea, polishing it, thinking up clever ideas for it, creating beautiful artwork for it..
And then the whole thing was removed entirely, not because the idea was bad, but because another part of the movie changed and made the idea invalid. How disappointing that must be.
I really hope they bring this back in Zootopia 2 somehow!

[connorclemmons]

To be honest, the shock collar idea could be possible as a sequel to the first movie. Especially seeing as how the plot was about predators going savage. And because Mayor Lionheart is still in prison (for kidnapping the victims) his replacement could have enforced this new law.

[catchannel]

My dad was an animator for this movie, so I know one of the reasons they didn't go with this idea is because they thought the shock collar thing was to dark and inhumane for a place that's supposed to be considered perfect.

Edit: To anyone who wants to talk about my dad, please don't. This comment was meant for me to give a reason why this version of the movie wasn't the end result, not to talk about my dad.

Edit: To anyone who says that that was the entire point of the movie, I know, but that wasn't the point I was making. The point is that it wasn't subtle at all.

[Yasashiao]

This just seems like a wasted, unused, idea... So sad...

[-Tanooki-]

Graduating tiger: hey I just graduated :D IM SO HAPPY *SHOCK*
Tiger on his first date: I'm nervous but also REALLY EXCITED *SHOCK*
Tiger getting married: I do *happy* *SHOCK*
tiger having there first kid: aww hes so cute AAH IM FINALLY A DAD....

Mate what a sad life that would be XD

[randomopotato]

The concept of the tame collar really drives in the message of oppression more. Maybe in a sequel, we could have nick and judy visit another country where the discrimination against predators are even worse and this is where we would see the usage of the tame collar. Not only are we able to bring back the concept of the tame collar, but now we can also put in parallels to how discrimination varies in different degrees across the world.

I remember seeing this on my blu-ray and it said he was "too depressed" to be the main character
