Bobby Catmull[1] is a young male cougar that lives in Bunnyburrow in Zootopia.

Development[]

Bobby Catmull was named after Edwin "Ed" Catmull, president of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar.[2] His name is also a play on the word "bobcat", a species of lynx.

In spite of this, Bobby is not a bobcat, but a cougar. Byron Howard explained that he was originally a bobcat, but was made into a cougar - noting the difference of tail and ears - because the crew didn't have the time to build a bobcat character model.[3]

Rich Moore has confirmed that Bobby's last scene (when he turns and grins at the camera) was inspired by the Nude Organist, a recurring character from the British comedy TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus.[4][5][6]

Role in the Film[]

Bobby uses various instruments for the sound effects and background music in the Carrot Days Festival play at the beginning of the film.

Deleted Scene[]

In an alternate opening, Bobby climbs a tree and is too scared to come down, becoming stuck. Judy Hopps is able to guide him down the tree with a laser pointer as he becomes focused on the laser dot and forgets how scared he is. This impresses a tiger officer, who approves and encourages Judy's dream of becoming a cop.

Trivia[]

  • His synthesizer is labeled "CATSIO", which is a play on CASIO.
  • Bobby's name is never spoken in the film but in the deleted scene.
