Priscilla Tripletoe is one of the sloths working in DMV (Department of Mammal Vehicles), along with Flash in Disney's 2016 animated feature film Zootopia.
Background[]
Development[]
Priscilla is voiced by Kristen Bell, who also voices Anna in Frozen. This is because when casting director Jamie Sparer Roberts watched an interview with Kristen, she explained her love of sloths and how she had a meltdown of joy about getting to meet a sloth for her birthday. They asked her if she would do two words of dialogue if it was a sloth, and she answered in two to three minutes, "Yes." Roberts jokes, "It was the quickest deal ever made in Hollywood."
At one point during development, she was married to Flash.[1]
Role in the film[]
During Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde's visit to the Zootopia DMV, they enlist Flash's help in tracking down a vehicle. However, while Flash is inputting the vehicle's license plate, Nick distracts Flash with a joke, much to Judy's dismay. Flash then retells the joke to Priscilla, angering Judy even further.
During the time of Gazelle's performance, Priscilla and Flash are seen literally slow dancing as they hold paws.
Trivia[]
- In the Brazilian dub of Zootopia, Priscilla was renamed to "Preguiscilla", which is a mix between the words "Preguiça" ("sloth" in Brazilian Portuguese) and "Priscilla".
- In the Latin American Spanish dub of Zootopia, Priscilla's was changed to "Perezila", a play between the words "Perezozo" (which is the Spanish word for "sloth") and her original name.
