- “Your dad, me, your 275 brothers and sisters, we're changing the world! One carrot at a time!”
- ―Bonnie Hopps
Carrots are an orange root vegetable. Although rabbits don't naturally eat root vegetables or fruit, they are apparently very good at growing them, which leads to "rabbits are carrot farmers" becoming a bit of a stereotype in Zootopia.
Description[]
Carrots are a long, orange vegetable that taper towards the end. They have little sprigs of green leaves at their tops.
Role in the Film[]
Bonnie and Stu Hopps, the parents of Judy Hopps, are carrot farmers, and after Judy reveals her dream of becoming a police officer, they attempt to convince her to rethink it, largely by presenting her with the "enticing" offer of becoming a carrot farmer like them and her 275 siblings, but to no avail.
After Judy's terrible first day on the job, she attempts to cook a package of "Carrots for One". Adding to her misery, she ends up overcooking it in her microwave resulting in a shriveled up, tiny, and unappetizing stub of a carrot, prompting Judy to throw it away in disgust.
When Judy returns home after resigning from the ZPD, she works at the family vegetable stand and sells a dozen carrots to a mother rabbit with her daughter.
The carrot pen, which resembles its namesake, has a prominent role in the film as a voice recorder.
Trivia[]
- Nick Wilde calls Judy "Carrots", a majority of the time throughout the film.[1] His initial usage comes across as derogatory, as though it were some sort of slur.
- Despite the wide-spread belief, rabbits don't naturally eat root vegetables or fruit. Carrots and fruit are high in sugar and are only eaten in small amounts as occasional treats.
