I absolutely love this deleted scene from Z1.
Sassy Judy and a defeated Nick, that’s the ultimate combo. And once again, it looks like they’re flirting. Plus that little nose twitch at the end, awww 🥰

Jared: "We're gonna do something different with birds."
I think this is a positive signal for all of us, since I believe we all agree that the story of birds should differ from the story of reptiles.
Also, Jared's reaction to the second question is hilarious 😅

A mention of WildeHopps in 2013 wasn't on my bingo card.
On August 10, 2013, Jerry Beck published an article on Indiewire covering the D23 2013 event where Zootopia was first announced.
The phrase "ultimate romance" sounds incredibly spot-on, I don't think the journalist himself realized just how accurate he was.
The fact that WildeHopps was mentioned on the very day Zootopia was announced speaks volumes. Everyone understood what was going on back then.
And after all that, is anyone really going to claim it wasn't planned from the very beginning?)

My thoughts on Z3 and how WildeHopps is almost 100% canon
OH MY GOD!!! Those were my first thoughts when I opened Reddit today. Honestly, I didn't expect it to happen so early, but it exceeded all my expectations. Z3 is here, and WildeHopps is practically here too.
Directly hinting at WildeHopps in the very first Z3 teaser says a lot. Literally the entire newspaper in the teaser is one big hint at WildeHopps. And Jared's words about the post credit scene hinting at what they might do in Z3 is practically a direct confirmation.
If after Z2 I said that they burned all the bridges, leaving WildeHopps as the only logical plot twist, then now I will say that they didn’t burn them, they blew up with nuclear warheads all the bridges leading to anything other than WildeHopps.
So what we have is: a huge amount of romantic hints in Z2, both in the story and visuals (hidden hearts and so on) + Jared and Byron's interview with many hints at a possible WildeHopps + Z2 was developed with the knowledge that Z3 would happen, which makes Z2 even more of a foundation for WildeHopps + a huge desire from fans + Z2 is the 9th highest grossing film in history (soon to be 10th due to Spider-Man BND) and Z3 has every chance of surpassing this result + probably the earliest announcement of a sequel in WDAS history + direct hints at WildeHopps in the first teaser for Z3 = well, if not 100%, then at least 99.99% probability of WildeHopps canon. Essentially, all they have left to do now is to say outright that yes, it will be in the Z3, but they won’t do it, that’s clear.
Incidentally, such an early announcement makes the 2029 release date much more likely. Considering that Z2 began development in 2021 (Jared said he started working on Z2 before Encanto was even released), meaning it took less than five years to produce, Z3 could likely turn out similarly. Especially considering they clearly already have some groundwork for Z3.
Now all we have to do is wait, but it's worth it, especially now.
Zootopia Forever, WildeHopps Forever 🦊💞🐰
