Francine giving a fellow officer a noogie
She appears nervous when Chief Bogo says they need to acknowledge the 'elephant in the room', but sighs in relief when she learns Bogo just wants to wish her a happy birthday. In celebration, Officer Jackson starts playfully punching her side, prompting her to pick him up and give him a noogie.
When Judy informs the ZPD of the missing mammals at the Cliffside Asylum, she and the other officers arrive for a police raid on the asylum. Officer Pennington acts as security for the raid.
She is seen again at the Zootopia Police Department watching Judy's press conference.
Near the end of the film, she and the rest of the ZPD come to the Natural History Museum to arrest Assistant Mayor Bellwether.
Role in Zootopia+[]
Duke the Musical[]
Francine sees Duke Weaselton out of the ZPD following Duke's arrest at the hands of Judy Hopps. She tells Duke to rethink his life, as he's been arrested so often.
Dinner Rush[]
Francine is taken to a restaurant in the Rainforest District for her birthday by a hippo acquaintance (possibly Higgins), where she is served a birthday cake by Sam. However, her birthday celebrations are disrupted during Sam's attempts to serve Flash Slothmore and Priscilla Tripletoe. She, along with the other patrons, confront Sam, but are halted when Flash proposes to Priscilla.
Trivia[]
- Francine has a line in the movie, but it is unknown who did her voice. She has some lines in Zootopia+, again with no confirmed actress.
- There is a mistake in film regarding the number of elephants that were supposed to be present in the bullpen scene. Either there is only one elephant whose uniform changes mid-scene and is wearing a name badge saying "Pennington" but Bogo incorrectly calls her Trunkaby. Or there were supposed to be two elephants, Pennington and Trunkaby, each wearing different uniforms but the animators did not consistently render Trunkaby.
- When Judy first enters the bullpen, there is an elephant wearing a t-shirt/black vest watching Officer Andersen arm wrestle Officer Johnson and laughs when Andersen pins Johnson's arm to the table. Because of the uncertainty regarding the number of elephants in the bullpen, it is unknown if this elephant is Trunkaby or Pennington.
- Despite being an African Elephant, Francine does not have any tusks. Tusks are present in both male and female African elephants but not in Asian Elephants where only males have it (Some female Asian elephants may have short tusks called tushes, as seen in the movie by Nangi). However, it is possible for African elephants in real life to be naturally tuskless.
