In a city inhabited by anthropomorphic animals who have abandoned traditional predator-prey roles in favor of civilized harmony, uptight rabbit police officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) is forced to work with the charismatic con-artist fox Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) to crack a big case involving the mysterious disappearance of some of the city's carnivorous citizens. But when some of the missing critters reappear having reverted to pre-enlightenment savagery, it exposes existing anti-carnivore prejudice among the city's herbivores that threatens to damage the fabric of their diverse metropolis.
