Here is the second of two pieces of "Zootopia" fan art, revolving around a 'video game' theme - as suggested by the folks at the "Zootopians" wall in "Facebook" (as part of their latest 'drawing challenge' for its anthroartist members)...
This time, it is 'Nick Wilde' who is playing a video game - and living out a personal fantasy of his. In this case, it's the wireless Wii Fencing game, as the swashbuckling vulpine competes against a lupine opponent on a TV screen.
I've added a few Disney-related 'in-jokes' to this gag (but it has nothing to do with the animated feature "Robin Hood", even though its title vulpine character was also good at a sword fight). See if you can spot them...

There's more to it than that, bigtaurguy. "Zorro" was a Disney TV series that premiered back in the 1950s. (In fact, the score '1957' was the exact year said show debuted.) 'Zorro', of course, is Spanish for 'fox'. And the character in the video game says "Wise guy!" - which is a reference to Guy Williams, the actor who'd played 'Zorro'. And even the three 'swish' words are positioned in the shape of a giant 'Z'!
