POP! COUNTDOWN #5: ZOOTOPIA
This week, Disney’s newest adventure swings into theaters! It should be a lot of fun, so I thought that using the movie for this week’s theme would be cool. Let’s dive right in!
#5: Mr. Big
Coming in at the bottom this week is Mr. Big. This head crime boss comes complete in a tuxedo. It should be interesting to see how he comes into play in the plot. My guess is he fell last this week because he is not as familiar as the other characters in the wave. Or perhaps he’s too villainous!
#4: Nick Wilde
Our Jason Bateman-voiced leading man came in at number four. I was pretty surprised because he is my favorite of the bunch. It looks like he will be very playful, sly, and fun to watch, so I think people will fall more and more in love with this pop. Marisa Foresta wrote, “Nick is so cute. He reminds me of Fox from Super Smash Bros.” Cute he definitely is.
#3: Ele-Finnick
This adorable pop of Finnick, Nick’s partner in crime, comes in at number three. He is shown dressed in an elephant costume and with a pacifier in his mouth. I am very excited to see how this factors into the movie and why exactly he is dressed like this. He is definitely adorable and I’m actually surprised he fell in the middle of the pack.
#2: Judy Hopps
The leading lady comes in at number two. This police officer will primarily drive the plot and it seems like Disney fans already like this charismatic bunny. Amir Masood wrote, “I like Judy Hopps … Plus I get the impression she’s a hardworking character. That resonates with me.” Rock on, Judy!
#1: Flash
In perhaps the biggest landslide of all the countdowns so far, Flash crushed the competition this week. People are infatuated with this slow moving DMV employee. Austin Decker wrote, “Flash is best.” Katie Ann said Flash was her favorite because “he is funny in the preview and utterly adorable.”
I always knew Flash was king, but I meant DC’s speedster. Haha. Zootopia’s Flash might steal the hearts of viewers no matter how slow he moves though! At any rate, he joins our previous #1 pollers for the end of the year poll. I think Funko should make other characters from the movie as opposed to variants of these five because it seems like there is a multitude of possibilities. I am in love with Bellweather by the way, so she NEEDS to be in the next wave! Please and thanks!
