Nick Wilde (Zootopia)

An unlikely ally

Nick Wilde is one of the main characters of Zootopie, the Disney Studios cartoon set in an animal world. Indeed, in this story, humans seem not to exist and animals have evolved differently. They have a society close to that of humans with cities, villages and a developed technology. They speak like us and walk on their hind legs. The heroine of the film, Judy Hopps, is the first rabbit to graduate from the police academy. At first, she is thrilled to be joining the police station in downtown Zootopia. But she soon finds out that she is not taken seriously when she is assigned to parking enforcement. Nick Wilde is a fox who she meets in a store where her son is refused ice cream because he is a fox. She goes to his defense despite the antagonism that has always existed between foxes and rabbits. Back at the police station, she crosses paths with an otter who has come to report her husband missing. When the otter was not taken seriously, Judy decided to investigate to prove her worth as a real policewoman. Back on the street and with no one to help her with her investigation, she runs into Nick Wilde again and realizes that he is in fact a con artist. She will offer to help him in his investigation in exchange for his freedom. He will accept and an unlikely friendship will be born between them.
