Gideon Grey Dance by TUWKA Source [1] |
Gid gettin’ down to the Tik-Tok dance.
And hello again, one and all. In a (belated) tribute to National Pie Day, this week’s Art of the Day collection features Zootopia’s other fox; bully-turned-nice-guy, Gideon Grey.
Like just about everyone else, I’ve often wondered what it was that led Gideon to turn over a new leaf. (There’ve been several pieces of fanfiction written on the subject.)
Hopefully, we’ll get some answers in Zootopia 2. But in the meantime, enjoy…and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source links.

We open with some images of Gideon during his ‘Mean Widdle Kid’ phase.

But eventually, (thank goodness,) Gideon grew out of his bullying…as the next series of pics demonstrates.

Note the blueberry stains on his apron, a nice touch.

Nothing like a little whipped-cream on top. I like the way his fang is showing in this pic.

Don’t ask why, but to me this one looks kind of like a magazine cover.

With Nick of course.

What if Gideon had a long, lost cousin? (This looks a bit like some classic Disney animation artwork.)

Having been there himself as a kid, it makes sense that an adult Gideon wouldn’t like bullies.
