Howard eventually abandoned the 1960s era, espionage, and international aspects, and shifted the film's focus to a contemporary police procedural, with Nick Wilde as the lead and Judy Hopps as his sidekick, to emphasize the all-animal city. Lasseter suggested fusing a 1960s theme with animal characters, and later, screenwriter Jared Bush was recruited to the project because of his excitement to work on a spy film, influenced by his father and grandfather's previous employment at the Central Intelligence Agency. According to Howard, his motivation to create Zootopia stemmed from a desire to differentiate it from other anthropomorphic animal films, where the animals inhabit either the natural or human world. Development for the first Zootopia began when Byron Howard pitched six-story concepts to Disney Animation's chief creative officer and executive producer John Lasseter, of which three included animal characters.
