If you think that all this is paranoid nonsense, then I suggest once again, you go to see Zootopia 2 for yourself.

And there will come a point, trust me, when the insanity of the plot will become impossible to ignore, and you will turn to the little person next to you, nursing their popcorn, and you will cover their ears and say out loud, along with everyone else in the crowded theater, WTF.

No way Disney legal department knew about this.

Right, Angus?

No way.

No way.

We can remove that possibility.

This sounds to me... So, somehow...

Somehow, Gary the Snake, the positive portrayal of Gary the Snake, sneaks past the Disney legal and corporate infrastructure.

This is unbelievable.

We're now in a heist movie.

Were there clues in the original litigation that might help us make sense of what happened?

I checked with Deborah Drews, Gary's lawyer.

Are there copies in the public realm of those depositions of all those Disney guys?

Do you have copies of them?

So then I thought, well, I'll just go to the top.

I emailed the CEO of Disney himself, the redoubtable Bob Iger.

Hi, Bob.

Happy New Year.

I have become obsessed with Zootopia 2 and the question of whether the movie is an encoded apology to Gary Goldman.
