Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack an unsolved, challenging case even if it means working with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery. But the case leads these two unlikely partners to an uneasy conclusion that Zootopia\u2019s “evolved” society is being pulled apart by unseen forces determined to use fear to take control of the city by turning predators and prey against each other.<\/p>\n
