The young actor portraying the young Judy Hopps slipped on the ketchup from her 'Blood, blood, blood and death' scene.

"It's in our DNA." The young Gideon Grey said.
"No, it's dna." The young Travis said.
"Shut up Travis I-"
"No, you got the line backward," Travis said as he showed Gideon a copy of the movie's script. "See, your line is 'dna', then I correct it as DNA."
Gideon looked annoyed at his weasel co-star. "Yeah... well, you're not getting a grown-up later on!"
XXXX
In the women's bathrooms at the police academy, Judy fell into one of the toilets. "Okay!... that was funnier than Judy finally getting something right!" The director laughed. "Get Growsly back into the scene!"
"Lucky me," Judy grumbled as she soaked in toilet water.
XXXX
"-and here's the fox taser," Stu said, accidentally shocking Judy. "And that's coming out of my pay isn't it?"
XXXX
During the train scene. Judy was listening to music... though not the kind you'd expect. "If it hadn't been for Cotton-Tail Joe. I'd been married long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Tail Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Tail Joe. I'd been married long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Tail Joe?"
"Eh... we'll change the music to 'Try Anything' in post." The director said.

"Hi, I'm Judy. You're new neighbor!" Judy said to Bucky and Pronk.
"And... I forgot my lines." Bucky admitted.
"Seriously?!" Judy said incredulously.
"Start agian!" Pronk said.
XXXX
Nick was laughing during the scene in the ice cream shop. "I'm sorry... Fenneck looks so cute in that costume!"
XXXX
Judy was playing around with the radio. "I'm sorry, it just doesn't seem to be playing the right songs for this scene."
XXXX
During the chase scene in Little Rodentia, Judy accidentally dropped the giant donut on Fru-Fur. "Okay! This is the third time today this has happened! We can't do this scene in one solid take like this!"
XXXX
Bogo was rolling his eyes as Judy struggled with her lines. "Let me know when you've finished studying your botany Hopps." He said with a sardonic smile on his face.
XXXX
In the limo. "Ratpack music? Fancy cups... and I forgot what I was going to say." Nick said.
XXXX
"Daddy! What did we say? No icing..." Fru-Fru then started laughing.
"What is this? Is there a case of the gigglings on set or something?" Mr. Big said.
XXXX
Judy let go of the vine... only for her and Nick to completely miss their target.
XXXX
The young Nick kept flubbing the oath. "Can we get some cue cards?" The woodchuck scout asked.
XXXX
Nick got his hand stuck in Bellwethers wool. "Okay... we need some kind of workaround for this," Judy said in resignation.
XXXX
As Mayor Lionheart was being carted off, Nick looked at an extra. "I was flushed down a toilet... ain't show business a hoot?"
XXXX
At the Hopps stand. Judy was surprised by her newest customer. "Come on Judy! You never let anything stop you before!" The young 'Judy' cheered on the adult actress.
XXXX
Nick was loudly humming the Breaking Bad theme song during the subway car scene. "I'm going to have to call you back, Nick is riffing on a scene again," Woolter said, unamused.
XXXX
"-I mean I'm all for being a villain," Bellweather said, holding up a scene. "But come on, Disney's done the 'twist villain thing for what, almost five years now? Four? Point is, won't people see this coming at this point?"
"Just. Stick. To the script." The director said in exasperation.
"Well excuse me for providing constructive criticism," Bellweather said as she rolled her eyes.
XXXX
"Flash, Flash, Hundred-Yard dash," Nick said when he and Judy caught the drag racer.
Flash stared blankly. "I... forgot... my line." Everybody groaned loudly at this.
XXXX
Animated blooper reels are the best. And now, the conclusion of our story.

"You know when you two told me that a war of the gods had broken out... I expected it to be a bit more... well." Bogo said as he opened the blinds in his office window. "Not. A giant. Prank war. Would either of you mind explaining how this happened?" He asked Nick and Judy. For outside the window, Zootopia was embroiled in chaos.
"Well it's a bit of a long story," Judy said.
"Perhaps. But see... with the station being overwhelmed by calls about this whole thing growing outside. I basically have all the time in the world right now." Bogo said. "So by all means... explain why Norse gods are throwing pies at each other."
"Well, it all started when Loki made my sister into a goddess. It was with some kind of elixir made from magical fruit by another goddess, and due to a... weird thing that Loki did back in the day. She cursed it to cause Angela to feel intense pain any time she tried to use her powers or felt angry." Nick explained.
"Well, that just sounds petty." Bogo mused.
"Eventually, Loki contacted Nick about raiding Middengard to recover the head of Mimir," Judy said.
"The god of wisdom?" Bogo asked.
"They very same, but we were caught before we could actually leave with the head," Nick said. "So... Ester blackmailed Idunn into removing the curse, but instead she changed it so that when Angela uses her powers, it harms Ester instead."
"And this... Pranknarok is a result of one of the Aesir acting like a petulant child over a centuries-old grudge?" Bogo said.
"Pretty much," Judy said.
Bogo then started laughing. "Oh no... Carrots. I think we finally broke him." Nick said with concern.
"It's just... sometimes you have to laugh." Bogo laughed. "I mean... I mean look at this!" He said as Thor conjured a banana cream pie that was the size of an elephant. "I've seen some weird... things in my day, but this!... this is just so surreal."
"Gods fighting a literal prank war in the streets of Zootopia... yeah, I suppose it is surreal," Judy said.
Bogo laughed. "I just... and you're both taking this in stride!" Bogo was practically dying from laughter.
"Can we go now?" Nick asked. "I'm going to assume that we can go." He said as he and Judy left Bogo's office.

In the streets of Zootopia. The Aesir and Loki's forces clashed in a weird parody of Ragnarok. Whereas the Norns prophesied that the forces of light and dark would fight a final battle... these same forces, what remained from the assault of the Ruinous Powers some two-thousand years ago... were throwing pies at each other and whacking each other with rubber chickens.
"Loki! Can you not recognize the mayhem you're causing?" Thor admonished.
"Can you?" Loki said spitefully. "Because you and yours started this mess, not me!" He snarled. "All I asked of Idunn was that she make my love immortal... but that spiteful nag made her go through pregnancy pains any time she felt anger or used her powers. And when the pains got too much for her to bear. I sought Mimir, but you barred me from entering your precious hall. Then when I sought him out on my terms, you treated me, blood brother to Ulric your father like a common thief!... Then, when Idunn merely moved the curse to affect Ester Foxgerald, you did nothing! I gave you proof! AND YOU! DID! NOTHING!" Loki roared. "For years beyond counting you've treated me poorly! Even after Ragnarok! I apologized personally to every Aesir and Vanir I wronged when the dust settled, I earnestly made up for every trick I ever pulled! I even apologized for the multiple times I talked you into wearing a dress!"
"You know it's not that simple!" Thor responded as he whacked Loki with a rubber chicken in place of his hammer Mjolnir. "Baldur's death destroyed whatever goodwill you had, and even the horrors of Ragnarok couldn't remove the resentment that you sowed in you're errant youth."
"You don't even know what 'errant' means, you lout!" Loki shouted. "You have the gall to hide behind the death of Baldur like you always have! I was an idiot! I thought it'd be funny for Freya's special little boy to die to mistletoe! I'm earnestly sorry that I did it! ISN'T THAT WORTH ANYTHING YOU FLEABAG?!" He said as he shoved a peach meringue pie in Thor's face.
"You could've at least talked with Idunn about it!" Thor lamented.
"That mare holds onto grudges as you do to a tankard of mead!" Loki snarled. "I've exhausted all diplomacy and patience with you meat-headed thugs! Either undo what you petty idiots have done! Or there will be a whoopie cushion under every seat in Middengard!" Loki then conjured a piano and threw it at Thor.

Nick and Judy were driving down the chaotic streets of Zootopia as Pranknarok raged. "You know... it is unsettling, in and of itself that we're not bothered by this," Nick said as a rhubarb pie hit the windshield. "I mean gods and monsters are throwing pies and whoopie cushions and who knows what else at each other... and the only thing on my mind really is that we're going to have a lot of paperwork to sign when this is over... assuming it ever ends."
"I know right?" Judy said as she turned on the windshield wipers. "Yet again surreal mayhem has broken out in the streets of Zootopia, and we're so desensitized that I'm more surprised that this got as out of hand as it did! I mean they've got at least eight other realms they could duke it out in. Why here? Why in Zootopia specifically? There are thousands of cities they could trash if they wanted to, but apparently, it's Zootopia or nothing."
"Think the IDL will put a stop to this? Or are our future selves going to just ride this one out?" Nick asked.
XXXX
The future Nick and Judy looked utterly surprised by what was happening in Zootopia. "Well... there's something that didn't happen in our timeline." Future Nick said in disbelief as a Dark Elf and a Light Elf sword fought with rubber chickens. "Should we?..."
"Nick... I really don't want to deal with this." Future said, rubbing her good eye in exasperation. "Norse gods are acting like children, and for the love of Frith I'm not putting up with nonsense from Middengard like this."
XXXX
Later in the day, Nick and Judy returned home after a long day at work, keeping one step ahead of Pranknarok. "Well, aside from the noise I'd say this was a pretty good day," Nick said. "Now about that pie you're mother sent."
"Nick, that's for after dinner only." Judy admonished.
"I know, but after the day we've had I'd say a little early dessert is warranted," Nick said.
"True, but if you don't have an appetite tonight. You only have yourself to-" Then without warning, Thor and Loki crashed through the ceiling, completely decimating the kitchen... including the refrigerator that the pie was kept in. "Oh come on!"
Nick snarled. "That... pie... oh you two are going to pay a bitter price for this." Nick seethed as he donned the Mask. "My name is Nicolas Piberius Wilde. You killed my mother-in-law's pie. Prepare to be humiliated!"
XXXX
By the end of the week, Nick had given everyone on both sides of Pranknarok wedgies. Humiliating Aesir, Vanir, Jottuns, and other races and creatures that served Thor and Loki. Forcing both sides to agree to a ceasefire in Mamgard.
"I'm only going to ask nicely one more time. Idunn." Loki said sternly to the horse goddess.
"If it means never getting a wedgie again, I will happily undo the curse upon Ester and Angela," Idunn said. "Though Ms. Foxgeralds wounds are beyond even divine magic to heal."
"Actually... I've gotten used to the look," Ester said, and true to Nick's word. The left half of her body was seriously marred, the fur was burnt away leaving only hideously deformed flesh in its place. "Granted, there are complications, my left cheek is gone so eating will be a bit of a hassle. And I might never be able to use a pool without drowning."
"She used to be on the swim team in High School," Nick said to Judy.
"Don't sweat it, I have my own ways to heal that kind of injury." Loki then restored Esters left cheek... and she screamed in pain as her flesh rejuvenated. "Of course, there's that, but it'll work."
XXXX
Future Nick and Judy reviewed the damages caused by Pranknarok. "We must never speak of this ever again." Future Nick said.
"Way ahead of you." Future Judy said. "Honestly, I'm actually looking forward to Demiurg's invasion after this... a terrible thing to hope for, but at least THAT made sense. This... this was just stupid! I mean I'm glad that Angela's alive, got better, and became a goddess on top of everything else... but gods wagging a prank war in the streets of Zootopia. We saw some weird things in our-"
"Carrots... settle down." Future Nick said. "It was a weird thing that happened, but the important thing is that despite the city being caked in whipped cream, pies, and other things. It's over, and we can worry about the ancient alien warlord that almost destroyed all civilization and killed almost everyone we know and care about an entire decade before it happened in our timeline."
Judy sighed. "I'm starting to think that we need a night on the town."
