Hello, my fellow Zootopians! Prepare to get Z.A.P.ped! It's time for this week's edition of the Zootopia Appreciation Post, or Z.A.P. for short. Every Saturday, I'm gonna be posting a different Zootopia-related topic that we can all discuss.
For today's topic, I would like to talk about Larry.
This post is for last week.
As you know, Larry is a male wolf who works as a security guard at Cliffside Asylum.
Larry is seen among the wolves guarding the entrance to the asylum. When Judy induces Gary to start howling, he rushes to stop him, attempting to prevent him and the other wolves from starting a "howl" and losing focus, but ultimately fails and starts howling along.
Interesting fact: Until the end of production, Larry had not been properly named, being labeled simply as "Wolf Guard 2". After a number of questions via Twitter, director Byron Howard came up with the name "Larry", due to its closeness to "Gary", which writer Jared Bush approved.
I think it's great that the creators chose to give him an official name. They really went the extra mile!
So, what do you guys think? Sound off in the comments below!
