“So that’s Chief Wilde, huh? Kinda…I dunno.” “Intense?” “Short. Shorter than I expected.” “That’s cause he’s a fox, dumbass.” “Shut up, you know what I mean. All those stories about him….” “Crazy shit, right? Sarge McHorn says it’s all true.” “Even uh, even the Bellwether thing?” “Oh yeah. For sure.” “I thought the brass ruled it was self-defense.” “No one gives a shit about Bellwether. Or her fucking spine.” “All that over one rabbit, huh?” “One hell of a rabbit, I guess. Funny thing about that….” “Yeah?” “Sarge said–you know, back when she was still around? Sarge said the chief used to smile.”
ok so this has probably been pointed out already but like–this shot from Song of the South, Disney’s most famously racist animation, and this one from Zootopia, Disney’s most antiracist film?
I’m pretty sure it’s a visual nod (clothes are remarkably similar for one thing), but it’s also a thematic one–this is a scene abt atoning for past insensitivities, after all.
My favorite set of Lionheart animation draw overs. Not because anything was particularly helpful to the animator, but because the cheese was quickly sliding off my cracker that day.
