SAHARA SQUARE
The stunning Sahara Square , a stunning oasis of palm trees , is home to all desert - dwelling fauna . With its crystal puddle , gorgeous moxie sand dune , and elite water parks , it ’s a focal point for socializing and liberalisation . build to resemble a resort of sort , it is a luxurious amalgamation of exotic locations , model after the romantic depiction of the real Sahara Desert , and place like the Taj Mahal .

Normally a jubilant ball of positivity , there are many example over the course ofZootopiawhere Officer Hopps loses her perseverance and her drive . In those times , Zootopia can be a very big , very lonely property .
Can one little bunny really make a difference in a big metropolis like Zootopia ? Told she ’s too small , and too naif , she has to agitate every Clarence Day to be consume seriously by her department and by her superior . And to top it off , she has to partner with an x - bunko game - artist like Nick Wilde to fulfill anything , transgress her personal code of ethics .
CLOVEN
construct artist Cory Loftis illustrated this little slice of Zootopian life , with a wide variety of mammalian relax at an formation known as Cloven . Here , we see various “ cloven ” creatures bask some tasty libation , in what looks like a dive barroom filled with pool tables , flit boards , and salt - of - the - Earth business .
That the animals love Cloven ’s hospitality are all some contour of read/write memory , sheep , or goat assume washrag shirts , trucker hat , and spiked cuffs furnish some entertainment . We do n’t often envisage animals like that in environments like this , but since most came from farms , the agrestic , dive bar setting seems almost appropriate . you could see more of Cory ’s work in the bookThe artistry of Zootopia .
THE OFFICES OF JOHN WILDE
Here we see a Charles James Fox dressed in a pale light-green suit , walk towards a small office that read “ John Wilde ” and just below it , “ stately hire ” . It ’s presumed to be the offices of Nick ’s father , John , though not much is mentioned inZootopiaabout Nick ’s early life . What we do know is that he suffer extreme intimidation at the men of those mammalian consider “ prey ” , instill within him the mind that he will never be good than a dangerous sea wolf .
presumptively , his Father of the Church proved otherwise , see here going to a humble workspace beside the train tracks . The neighborhood is dingy , there ’s used tyre thrown around the lawn , and the offices themselves are paper over .
TUNDRATOWN
Here we see a wide coup d’oeil of Tundratown , the area ofZootopiapurposefully kept at frozen temperature for its cold - weather citizens . With snow perpetually blanketing everything in white frost , C. P. Snow plows are a constant mint , as are the snowmobiles that the citizens used to get around the streets .
Here we see Nick Wilde , with his signature unripe shirt and undress tie blowing in the icy wind instrument , riding something that looks like a cross between a snowmobile and a sportbike . He passes signs for eateries that read “ refreshful Pisces the Fishes ” , as well as outfitter displaying “ Wool Mittens ” . It looks as though he could benefit from some cold - weather gear , considering the flurry of snow falling all around him !
BUNNY WARREN
Here ’s an interesting musical composition of concept nontextual matter that exposes a side of Zootopia we do n’t often see ; a bunny warren ! This black and white version by Disney Art Director Matthias Lechner provides us with the jaw - dropping scale of exactly what such a warren would look like in Zootopia . It resembles something between an unfastened - atmosphere plaza and an apartment building with an open - air courtyard in the center .
Look close and you ’ll see bunny doing all sorts of activities ; socialize with friends , reading the newspaper , range food from what looks to be a food court , bouncing down staircases on formal , and gathering around the statue of what looks like a famous cat .
RAINFOREST DISTRICT
The Rainforest District , home to sweeping arboreal brilliance and lush flora , can either be a succulent beautiful Shangri-la or a pixilated , grave void . Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde pass metre tracking down several unscrupulous character in the area , but also make function of its giant dirigible - powered deportation .
This beautiful piece of conception art truly evokes the grandeur of the area , with its impenetrable trees and tall hills . With its clearly emerald foliage and coloration , its reminiscent of its other pop picture set in a similar surround , The Jungle Book . It ’s not intemperate to imagine Mowgli , Bagheera , and Baloo at home in a situation like this .
OFFICER HOPPS AND NICK WILDE
From the desk of Character Designer Nick Orsi comes this piece of conception artwork depicting early Incarnation of Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde . Their faces , bodies , and construction are a lot more angular and “ harsh ” than their on - screen counterparts , but that ’s to be wait when a character is still in the early stage of ontogenesis .
Orsi had to stand by to several bank bill from the theater director , fine-tune his artistic process until he came up with the perfect versions of the two dear bomber . Aside from Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde , he also come up with the conceptual designs for Chief Bogo , Dawn Bellwether , Yax , and Mayor Leodore Lionheart .
ZOOTOPIA AT NIGHT
Here ’s an incredible image of Zootopia all lit up at dark , with each area of the metropolis silhouette with trillion of neon angles and twinkling illumination . To the left is Sahara Square , and to the right field of it , Savanna Central . To the rightfield of that , where the grim mist pours in , is Tundratown . Behind it , the Canal District and the Rainforest District ca n’t be fully watch .
The key station where Judy Hopps arrives can be see where the colossus curved “ horn ” is lit up , and the area where Gizelle performs is off to the right in a appeal of down neon petals . At nighttime , Zootopia transforms into what looks like an urban metropolis in South America , like Rio , with sempiternal entertainment , exhilaration , and music .
