zootopia would have never truly been able to work like it was meant to because using the prey vs predator dynamic as an allegory for racial prejudice is fundamentally flawed at an unfixable level, BUT if they had decided to go through with the shock collar concept all the way instead of turning it into a cop bootlicking party it would've at least been cool and interesting for a disney movie

#as far as i know it would focus more on nick having this underground amusement park where predators could get rid of their collars #and from what we know of the early drafts it's very unlikely that the end to his arc would've been to become a cop lmao #also like. at the very least this version would have had a very clear distinction of who the oppressed and the oppressors were #instead of both sides-ing it into a confusing mess like the final movie did #definitely not a perfect analogy but still way less muddled at least
