| Nick and Judy Beat a Hasty Retreat by @ByronPHoward Source [1] |
Hello again, Zootopia fans, and welcome to week #4 of our Inside-Out Emotion series. Today, we’re taking a look at a feeling to make your knees knock and your heart race, the one and only Fear.
One of the most common tropes in buddy pictures is the fearful character, paired together with a gung-ho partner. (Abbot and Costello worked this one to perfection.)
That’s something we saw a lot of in Zootopia. From the moment we meet her, we know Judy Hopps is Ms. Never-Say-Die. She even quotes FDR’s famous line at one point in the movie. (“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”)
As for Nick, his craven side doesn’t really begin to show itself until the scene in Mr. Big’s limo…but once it does, it’s an absolute riot. (Of course, like all good cowardly partners in buddy-cop films, he eventually finds his mettle again. “I’m not leaving you.”)
And now, turn on the lights, grab your security blanket, and screw your courage to the sticking place–coz here comes the scary stuff. Enjoy…and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source-links.

Since Nick is the fearful one in the Wilde-Hopps partnership, it’s only right that we give him first dibs again.
Poor little Nick, that experience wasn’t just heartbreaking it was terrifying.

You’d be scared too, if you had to wear one of those things all the time.

Moving on to the next series, we see that even Judy Hopps isn’t totally immune to the willies.

We’re not sure WE want to know what’s in that alleyway either.

There’s nothing like a ticking time-bomb for cranking up the ol’ adrenaline level, (especially when the darn thing doesn’t have a red wire!)

We close with some ‘skeered-folks’ artwork featuring a few of the other members of the Zootopia gang.
If you think it’s gonna be scary the first time Nick meets Judy’s parents, you ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet

As this piece of concept art shows, the original version of Finnick was much more fearful than the one we saw in the final cut.

This is a great pic on so many levels. First of all, the little nod to Blacksad. Secondly, even knowing what a creep the Dukester is, you can’t help wanting to jump in and save him.

I’ve got a possible one for Disgust: “Detective Wilde” by StarWisherMidnight. https://www.deviantart.com/starwishermidnight/art/Detective-Wilde-713817436
Guess Judy’s expression is technically annoyance, but it could also be disgust.
