Items featuring Judy Hopps from “Zootopia”
The “Zootopia” collection features Judy Hopps, the Chinese zodiac sign for the year 2023, which is the “Rabbit”. The lineup includes New Year’s items such as shimekari ornaments and stuffed Daruma dolls, with the wish that the year will be a year of leaps and bounds, just as Judy believes in dreams.
