| Tiger dancers |
The Tiger dancers are a group of male tigers who are backup dancers and bodyguards for the Zootopian pop star Gazelle in Zootopia.
Physical Appearance[]
The tiger dancers are all nearly identical in appearance. They all have orange fur with black stripes and white accents, glitter-dusted faces, and wear sparkly black and silver shorts with trims and slits on the sides. Their predominantly bare upper bodies are broad and muscular when compared their lower bodies, and they all have large arms and paws. In Zootopia 2, they also wear sparkly, light purple, sleeveless jackets.
History[]
Zootopia[]
The tigers at Gazelle's rally.
They first appear in a mobile app called Dancing with Gazelle. Officer Clawhauser is first seen showing off the app and applying a picture of his face onto a single dancer, and is praised by a recording of Gazelle. The app is later used by Chief Bogo for the same purpose.
The dancers are next seen near the climax of the film, during Gazelle's peace protest. Two stand on either side of her and the other two are seen mingling with the edges of the crowd below. Because of this behavior, they are most likely acting as bodyguards for Gazelle. During the credits of the film, all four tiger dancers can be seen dancing alongside Gazelle at her concert.
Zootopia 2[]
One of the tigers is knocked over by the Zebros.
The tiger dancers perform alongside Gazelle for the Zootennial Gala as she sings Zoo. When Gary De'Snake's presence causes a panic, the Zebros escort Mayor Winddancer off the premises and knock over one of the tiger dancers in the process. When they cross paths again at Burning Mammal, the dancers and Gazelle get revenge by beating up the Zebros, buying Judy, Gary, and Pawbert Lynxley some time. During the film's end credits, they perform with Gazelle again at Burning Mammal.
