It appeared on screen for less than five full minutes, but it played a huge part in the Zootopia story line — in Judy’s second encounter with Nick, in her reconciliation with him following that disastrous performance at the press conference, and in the final confrontation with Mayor Bellwether; Judy’s Carrot-Pen remains the most iconic prop in the film.
Here then, we present a collection of artwork dedicated to perhaps the most unsung ‘character’ in the movie.
Enjoy, and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source links.
Get your art after the break!
We begin with a pair of concept drawings, showing the evolution of Judy’s Carrot-Pen from the early prototypes to the final version, seen in the movie.
Here are a few that didn’t quite work out. |

Probably the most famous ‘Carrot-Pen’ moment in Zootopia was one that took place under the bridge, when Judy caught up with Nick after returning to the city int he hope of trying to set things right.

Quite often, you’ll see Judy’s Carrot Pen as the centerpiece of some WildeHopps fanart — as illustrated by the pair of pics below.

However, let us not forget that Judy’s Carrot-Pen is first and foremost a PEN!
I-I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Nick. |

When you think about it, that Carrot Pen really IS kind of a spy-gadget, isn’t it?

Until next time…
zootopia by Milk-vetch… Image 15… My head canon on the carrot pen is as it is a product of bunny technology, and bunnies are very much about ‘more is better’ (they ARE very good at multiplying). Judy’s carrot pen uses a memory chip and probably has six to eight hours of recording space and battery power. Under the green twist top is the usb charge/download port.
