The Fox repellent is a spray given to Judy Hopps by Bonnie and Stu Hopps in Zootopia.

On the morning of her first day as a police officer, before heading to roll call at the ZPD, Judy brings her bottle of fox repellent for safekeeping. Later in the film, it becomes the center of conflict between Judy and Nick Wilde.

Description[]

The Fox repellent bottle Judy carries is pink and cylindrical with a spray cap. The way in which Judy attempts to employ it suggests that it works similar to pepper spray.

The brand shown in the film is called "Fox Away". It is also sold in the forms of a deterrent air horn and a taser.

Role in the Film[]

The Fox repellents are put into a "care package" assembled by Bonnie and Stu, though Bonnie dismisses the taser as too much. Judy decides to take the repellent bottle in order to appease her parents.

As Judy is getting dressed for her first day, she looks back at the repellent as she leaves out the door, thinking she won't need it, only to come back seconds later to take it with her just in case.

Notably, Judy unbuckles the strap and reaches for her bottle of fox repellent from the holster on her belt twice. First when she enters Jumbeaux's Café, and sees Nick as the owner says to him "I don't want any trouble in here". Second is at the press conference when Nick lunges at her while asking if she's afraid he might try to "eat" her. Sadly Judy's reaction of grabbing at the repellent - to Nick at least - convinces him that Judy fears him as a predator despite what she said earlier.

Prejudicial Imagery[]

The bottle, as well as other Fox Away products, shows an image of a crossed-out fox wearing a mask and a black-and-white striped outfit, depicted as a criminal. This serves as yet another indication of how foxes are considered sly, vile, and untrustworthy in Zootopia.

Trivia[]

  • In the mobile game Disney Heroes: Battle Mode, the repellant is called "Fox Mace."
  • After reconciling with Nick, it is unknown if Judy still carries around the fox repellent or if she got rid of it.
