What am I still doing uuuuuuup!??! ._.
Alright, so this may have gotten a bit out of hand now. Too tired to really write anything anymore now, but I figure the picture speaks for itself anyway.
Time for me to head to bed =.= answering comments and moving to scraps tomorrow.
Also just noticed a typo in Ilvéz info ... ah well. For those who care, Ilvéz name is derived from the finnish word for Lynx (Ilves).
Be well.

Heh. You're not alone. I came up with just as many concept ZPDs all while screaming at my brain to focus on the more important stuff.
Zootopia is just too damn good, and has way too much potential, than could ever be handled by just one single main character with just one single line of sequels. I sincerely hope Disney is feeling silly for all the money they spent buying Marvel and Star Wars, because they just birthed a franchise that could dwarf the both of them combined.

Well, in terms of its potential anyway. Exaggerating things in fiction tends to have the opposite effect: It instead makes things seem smaller than they are meant to be.
Star Wars began in this territory with the freakin' Death Star blowing up an entire planet without even leaving any mess behind.
And the Marvel universe is even worse in this regard. They not only made apocalyptic events boring by having them pop up over and over again (even having MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER whose entire shtick is wanting to destroy all life in the universe because. . . Because. . . Well, I guess because everyone needs a hobby), they completely cheapened death by having characters die and come back to life over and over again.

Zootopia, meanwhile, has so far only explored present-day Zootopia and neighboring Bunnyburrow. There's an entire freakin' planet and thousands of years of history that has yet to even be seen, never mind explored with possible sequels, prequels and spinoffs.

While all of this isn't wrong, you have to remember that the Marvel Comics and Star Wars are based on an entirely different concept and also cater to a different, larger audience.
Zoot has the problem that, while being a wonderful and fun world to play in, a lot of the magic comes from the great character chemistry between Judy and Nick and there's only so man sequels you can make before even the best characters become stale. Exploring other aspects of Zoot is of course an option, but it's a road to carefully tread. Any deviation too far from what is the core of Zoot will likely only have níche appeal. While some of the displays in the natural history museum were fun, I wouldn't really need to go and watch a movie based in the prehistoric era fo that world ... just as an example.
I see a lot of potential in a spin-off focusing on Nick's time in the academy. Lots of fun concepts to include there, lots of potential aesops too, if scripted right.

Judy and Nick are excellent characters with excellent chemistry. But honestly, I think the worst thing Disney could do with this franchise is feel like such a massive setting needs to stay restricted to just those two characters.
If it were me, I'd advocate for a complete abandonment of any kind of numbered sequel format altogether and follow. . . Umm. . . I don't know what to call it. The Law & Order formula. The James Bond formula. The Batman: The Animated Series formula. You know, keep them and their awesome chemistry as the main characters, but make the plot of all the subsequent movies be about the individual cases; try to give them these really interesting plots to unravel and interesting characters within them. And every time they hit the nail on the head, set that character aside for a spinoff.
As for the history? Meh. Just sprinkle it around here and there; have a character reference this treaty, that war, those great inventors, whatever. Like in the stuff I'm working. . . Okay, daydreaming about, I always imagine somebody talking about Zootopia in its present state compared to what the world was like in the past, and just saying "Well, you know, when you look at any turning point in our history -- pick any battle in any war, the winner has always been whomever reached out to another species first." Just create rough timeline -- just enough so they don't end up contradicting themselves if they have to flesh it out on the fly, toss it about in dialogue whenever it seems relevant, and again, see what the fans respond to.
And yeah, I could see a spin-off about the academy. Heck, I could even envision a series of animated shorts that are just Nick and Judy bantering with each other in the squad car.
Nick: "Oh. . ."
Judy: "What's up?"
Nick: "Rabbits are good at multiplying. Damn, I just got that."
Judy: "Just now? That was, what, two years ago?"
Nick: "Well I was a little busy watching my entire life flash before my eyes at the time."
Judy: "Heh. Yeah, I remember that. You looked like a deer in the headlights. No offense to the deer."
Nick: "Deer usually call that the 'I'm sitting in something wet' look."
Judy: "Ha. That's much funnier -- I'll use that from now on."

Ah yes, those suggestions make much more sense.
That's exactly what I would hope sequels would be like. Keep them as the mains and then run them through their big cases, with their character development running along the sidelines and peeking in every once in a while.
That dialogue's pretty good too X3 them bantering in the squad car is actually something I imagine as a sort of throw-in inbetween action sequences when they might be shown doing their day-by-day in a sequel.

Impressive roster of Oc's. Their profiles fit their personalities rather well, with what I've seen in the previous comics. Though this leaves me to wonder. How long was this before or after, Judy and Nick enlisted in the ZPD? I ask, because officer Fairweather looks almost fox like, I know he's a canine of some sort but, he looks like a mix of fox and coyote.
And to my fellow snow cat, props Lt. Carnegy. Hope she doesn't make captain any time soon, most of them are desk jockeys, and she'd probably go postal if forced to do that

Heh, thanks. Glad they work within themselves.
Point of presentation is six months after Nick became a fully certified police officer (I'm chalking down two years of Academy time for that). Carnegy was on maternity leave and later an instructor at the Academy while Judy was training there, because the more regular times of the Academy allowed her better to care for Daniel. She's been back to regular work since just after the Nighthowler incident, backing up the effort against the narcotics deviations that resulted from the whole deal.
Fairweather is meant to be a red wolf, hence his slightly smaller and slimmer stature compared to most other wolves in the ZPD, but he's quite a bit taller than Nick still - see the first Zoot comic strip I uploaded.
As for Carnegy making Captain; not likely XD she's quality material, but she's far too volatile to be given such a position. Her place is in the thick of things and she wouldn't have it any other way. Some colleagues actually wonder if she deliberately sabotages her disciplinary record to stay out of the captain's position.
