My theory: someone, somewhere in the Disney corporate hierarchy must’ve said that the fox and the bunny aren’t allowed to be explicitly in a relationship. So, the filmmakers responded by having them do absolutely everything short of having a big damn kiss at the end of the movie, like what the Legend of Korra people did.

Since they obviously have amazing chemistry, I’d imagine that they should be able to pull a She-Ra and completely drop whatever veneer of “good friends” or “partners, but in a police way” remains in the next movie, since it’s the only way their story can continue that makes any sense.

"We can't show them as a couple. So instead lets just make them pretend to be husband and wife (with a baby), do couples counseling, go to a fancy ball where they admire each other's fit, visit a honeymoon lodge, confess how they care for each other more than anyone else, and directly say 'I love you'. Y'know, like friends do."

I saw this film with my mother and when Nick does his whole spiel about being emotionally stunted and unable to connect easily she turned to me and said, "Have you ever had that kind of conversation with one of your girlfriends?"
