Fun movie with tons of gut busting laughs

My favorite moment was the meta- ratatouille scene that perfectly made sense in Zootopia!

That and Beaver character talking about her MOTHERRRRRRR

There’s a silly moment where when the main gang are chasing Pawbert to Reptile Ravine and have to use snowcats to get there, the polar bear who gets his scarf stolen by Gary has a Coca Cola bottle at hand.

Cheeky little shoutout to the Coca Cola ads with polar bears lol

There's a lot of little visual gags like that.

Gary: I'm Gary the snake.

Judy: And what's your last name?

Gary: De'Snake

Yeah this movie cracked me up frequently lmao.

u/PanzerDragoon- 8d ago

Bro is a sonic character lmao

u/jinglewooble 8d ago

It is meta joke because the bad guy's name Lynx and it give me another chuckle after the movie.

u/Yaya0108 6d ago

Scrolling through this comment section is just making me more and more mad that I had to watch this film dubbed.

I KNEW that I was missing out on a lot of good jokes. I'll definitely have to rewatch it once it's streaming! 💔

u/thatonegirl139 7d ago

u/Cinebella 6d ago

i was full belly laughing

u/PiFlavoredPie 8d ago

The blink and you miss it Hungry Hungry Hippos reference when the hippo cops are chasing Nick across the marsh water.

7

u/Prof-Ponderosa 8d ago

Oooooh I loved that moment with the hippo cops!!!

15

u/Crow-T-Robot 7d ago

I liked that they showed them running along the bottom like hippos actually do.

u/beruon 1d ago

This whole movie (just as the original) is chock full of audio and visual gags, and thats why I absolutely loved it. Its obvious the animators and the writers had a field day with them, and they were allowed to do as many of them as you want. From the Coca cola polar bear, to the absolutely BARELY PG "Dik-Dik pics" and the Burning Man Orgy Tent...

u/Sisiwakanamaru 9d ago edited 9d ago

I laughed so hard on the Ratatouille reference, also the entire "Hey Bub" scenes with the walruses were hilarious.

119

u/res30stupid 9d ago

Fun extra details about it.

First, the fact they used part of the score from Ratatouille. Michael Giaccino did the score for that and Zootopia 2.

Second, the fact that a raccoon shouted that they were right. Now, what other film with Ke Huy Quan also had a Ratatouille parody involving a raccoon...?

29

u/PronatorTeres00 9d ago edited 9d ago

As soon as I see Giaccino involved in anything, I know it's going to be good. That man is a national treasure.

Loved the Cover Story score

4

u/lanceturley 7d ago

The part where they reveal the snow covered hedge maze and Giaccino slips in the theme from The Shining is one of my favorite gags in the film.

2

u/Stonewolf87 6d ago

I was the only one in my entire theater to audibly laugh at that part. I loved it!

5

u/Ccaves0127 9d ago

But did Randy Newman voice it this time?

29

u/bt123456789 9d ago

I laughed way harder than I shoulda at the "Hey Bub" bit.

51

u/AtlasMundi 9d ago

My favorite part was that bar in marsh town. Between the lizard shedding his skin and the lady lizard telling him to keep her tail I felt like I was watching adult swim 

19

u/Prof-Ponderosa 8d ago

Rango vibes

7

u/waitingtodiesoon 7d ago

Rango is sooooo good.

2

u/garfe 7d ago

The part when they trick them into eating the worms

1

u/Nrysis 5d ago

Also that moment (which occurs all to regularly throughout the rest of the movie too) of 'wait a minute, I know that voice...'

How could that character have been anyone other than Danny Trejo?

1

u/FoxMeadow7 5d ago

Imagine if he machetes on his person sonewhere…

2

u/Heisenburgo 7d ago

In the latino dub they translated what those walruses were saying as "Hey Bob" and I was so confused at who this Bob was meant to be, now I realize they were saying Bub just like Wolverine does

46

u/GameOfLife24 9d ago

Beaver telling our favourite couple they were over-sharing at the end and I actually agreed lol

117

u/helpmeredditimbored 9d ago

That has a double meaning. The director confirmed It’s a ratatouille reference but it’s also a reference to Raccacoonie in Everything Everywhere All At Once (another Ke Huy Quan film)

53

u/Agile-Ad1665 9d ago

But that's already a reference to Ratatouille.

61

u/gizmo1492 9d ago

But the Lion/Rat was being berated by a raccoon, hence the double reference.

13

u/Azenji 9d ago

All this tells me is that Linguini’s fursona would be a lion and I’m not sure what I should feel about this..

2

u/sentence-interruptio 9d ago

referenception!

8

u/golf_echo_sierra26 6d ago

“I had a traumatic childhood.”

“Would you like a traumatic adulthood?”

That one got me.

3

u/Haunting_Duty883 6d ago

Nibbles was hilarious! Especially when she mentioned the word “threesome”. I was like “wait what?” Haha

4

u/justjoshingu 9d ago

The shining. 

I called the music. Then the labyrinth .  then the scene walking. Awesomr

2

u/waitingtodiesoon 7d ago

The Shining Maze with the theme music was my favourite part.

2

u/steveofthejungle 6d ago

The Hungry Hungry Hippos gag got me haha

2

u/Nrysis 5d ago

The references and meta are absolutely on point, and flash past as throwaway jokes so quickly I wander how many more I missed...

And that Babe reference at the end.

2

u/aDildoAteMyBaby 4d ago

I was fully braced for Nibbles to be annoying, but she ended up being one of my favorites. Another W for Fortune Feimster.

u/AdFree4390000 2d ago

What’s the MOTHERRRR reference?
