10 Movie Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight
9. Bellwether's True Motivations - Zootopia
Though pretty much every Disney movie features a twist in regards to its main villain, one of the most surprising in recent memory came in Zootopia. Uncovering a plot about corrupt officials attempting to frame predators for allegedly turning feral, it turns out that a seemingly innocent sheep, Assistant Mayor Bellwether, is actually responsible for the whole thing.
All the way through she's presented as being an inherently good character, being the one to put protagonist Judy on the trail of the missing predators and seemingly pushing for an end to the violence. Of course, it's revealed she wants the exact opposite outcome and is simply getting rid of loose ends.
While it seemingly comes out of nowhere, one small sticky note on her desk at the beginning of the movie actually revealed her relationship to the conspiracy plot straight away. In between everything is the scribbled-down number of Doug, a name which means nothing to the viewer initially. However, it's later revealed he's the one responsible for shooting animals and making them feral, of course, on Bellwether's orders.
