- “Daddy! What did we say? No icing anyone at my wedding!”
- ―Fru Fru to Mr. Big
Icing is a punishment issued by Mr. Big in Zootopia. It is done by dunking the icees into freezing Arctic water via a trap door under the floor of his home. It is implied to be a method of execution.
Role in the Film[]
Near the middle of the film, Kevin and Raymond take Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde to Mr. Big's home after they are found inside a limo belonging to the shrew. Mr. Big threatens to ice them, Judy on account of an accusation of involvement with Mr. Otterton's disappearance and Nick on account of some past negative encounters, but his daughter, Fru Fru, enters just in time. After scolding Mr. Big, Fru Fru recognizes Judy as the bunny who saved her from a giant donut the day before.
Out of gratitude, Mr. Big spares Judy and Nick and invites them to Fru Fru's wedding and gives them information.
Near the end of the film, Judy and Nick attempt to interrogate Duke Weaselton about the Night howlers, but Duke refuses to speak, so they take him to Mr. Big. The shrew threatens to ice Duke, compelling the weasel to give Judy and Nick the information they need.
Role in Zootopia+[]
The Godfather of the Bride[]
Shortly after emigrating to Zootopia, a young Mr. Big rallies the community to stand up to the Rhino Boss and "ice" him, trapping him in a giant ice cube. Morty is later seen stuck inside an ice cube at the hands of Koslov in a similar fashion after getting too rowdy. Neither of these incidents appear to be fatal.
Trivia[]
- Mr. Big's voice actor, Maurice LaMarche, does not believe that Mr. Big kills animals when he "ices" them, and instead "just dunks them until they're really sorry".[1] The fact that the above mentioned icing of both the Rhino boss and Morty ended with him still alive only makes his statement half-true.
