With an optimistic mind and hopeful heart, she starts her day in Zootopia, only to find that being the first and only bunny police officer among other big, tough animals is easier said than done. But, she is determined, and to prove herself as a real cop, she partners with a scam artist fox.

One of the best side characters is the 'Zootopia' Mr. Big animal, who is actually a rat.
