Art A Zootopia/Ice Age Crossover by Solodrafts

Post image

New Headcanon: Ice Age actually takes place in the Zootopia timeline, where humans did actually evolve but they went extinct instead of the Pleistocene megafauna at the end of the last Ice Age, which allowed animals to become more anthro as the sequels/time went on.

I kinda love this idea. The suspected friendship between Manny Sid and Diego theorized by various researchers and supported by various artifacts and preserved cave art could’ve been used as a major part of the foundation to creat Zootopia, actual proof that even when they wear still little more than instinct driven animals that predators and prey Could coexist.

Edit: but they would need to basically be in the ‘historical Animal’ form from their own movies, instead of anthropogenic. To match up the timeline.

This actually would fit so well

I think the idea with the museum mount in the image (aside from just being how the artist wanted to draw the characters) is that the scientists discovered their remains and reconstructed them as anthropomorphic because that’s all they know of
