Like this guy.

I kept going, mogul upon mogul.

Hi, redacted.

I'm doing a very strange and hilarious story about Disney and Zootopia 2 and wanted to talk to you about it.

The mogul writes back.

Nice to connect.

I would talk to you about anything except Disney.

I respond.

I totally understand, redacted, but I appreciate you getting back to me.

I suspect that you will at least be amused by what we end up doing.

It's a story about how the script for Zootopia 2 never should have gotten past Disney legal.

Mogul writes back.

Not surprised.

Good luck.

On the matter of Gary the Snake and Zootopia II, there is nothing but silence from the powers that be.

We have been left to our own devices.

And there is nothing in the world more exciting on a story as strange as this than being left to our own devices.

Next week on Revisionist History, part two, we venture a bold theory about what exactly happened behind the closed doors of the Walt Disney Corporation.
