But Who Is the Snake in “Zootopia 2”?

The Controversial Viper and a Former Disney Litigant

Gary Goldman, the ex‑Disney executive who famously took the studio to court over the Zootopia franchise, has recently suggested that the new snake character, Gary De’Snake, is a direct parody of himself.

Goldman, who has been embroiled in legal battles with Disney for years, points to the character’s name, demeanor, and visual cues as evidence that the filmmakers are poking fun at his real‑life dispute with the company.

While Disney has not commented on the allegation, fans of the upcoming sequel are already speculating whether the inclusion of a viper named “Gary” is a playful nod or a subtle jab at the former executive.
