Easter Eggs

- Pop-Pop greatly resembles Carl Fredricksen from Disney's Up.
- In Tundratown, two young girl elephants are seen wearing Elsa and Anna dresses from Frozen.
- Also, the two elephants' father's clothes bear a great resemblance to Oaken's clothes from Frozen.
- Judy Hopps thumps her foot after being given parking duty in a manner similar to Thumper from Bambi.

- Judy Hopps' cell phone carrier is PB&J, which is a play on AT&T, as well as a reference to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
- Duke Weaselton's name is a reference to the Duke of Weselton from Frozen. This is brought up when Judy mispronounces Duke's last name as "Weselton", to which he says. "It's Weaselton! Duke Weaselton!" This is a play on how, in Frozen, Elsa mispronounces Weselton as "Weasel Town".
- Additionally, both Weaselton and Weselton are voiced by Alan Tudyk.
- In Little Rodentia, right next to Mousey's is a restaurant called Lucky Cat Café, a reference to the Hamada residence in Big Hero 6.

- When Judy brings the donut sign from The Big Donut down on Weaselton, it is reminiscent of the way Lard-Lad carries his donut in The Simpsons.
- The calendar on Chief Bogo's wall in his office is a picture of the San Fransokyo skyline from Big Hero 6.
- A reference to Frozen, specifically its most well-known song, is made when Chief Bogo says "Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and your insipid dreams magically come true! So let it go."
- Another reference to Let it Go is on Judy Hopps' music player, where a Gazelle song is titled Let it Goat.
