A scene from Zootopia 2 2025
Pawbert
[Outside Pawbert's tent, Judy, Gary, and Pawbert are about to uncover the hidden secret on the cover of the journal.] [to Judy]

How much do you know?

Judy

Well, that his family was framed and there's some secret hidden in the metal cover that only a snake can see.

Pawbert
[Gary looks at the journal with his snake vision.]

Not just any snake; A heat-sensing pit viper. All it takes is a little warmth.

Judy

I just... I don't understand. Why would your great-grandfather hide a secret for a snake?

Pawbert

He... didn't.

Judy

I... [gasps in realization] It wasn't his journal; that's the secret. [envisions herself in a flashback of Zootopia in the 1900s] Zootopia wasn't created by a mammal; it was created... by a snake.

Pawbert
[Starts the beginning of flashback] [nods; voiceover]

Gary's great grandmother (Agnes De'Snake). She wanted to make the city a place where all animals felt welcome, so she invented her weather walls to help everyone. She just needed an investor, a partner. But when my great-grandfather saw what her idea could be worth, he plotted to steal her plans for himself. So he committed a murder- his own maid- and framed Gary's great-grandmother. And because she was a snake, everyone believed his lie. Soon, no reptiles were welcome. And over time, my great-grandfather buried the reptile neighborhood in snow. And he died, believing no one could ever uncover his crimes. But... he was... wrong.

Judy

Her original patent was saved. That's what you're looking for. She hid it in her home. Find her home, find her patent.
