Zistopia is 2016 era community-sourced fan comic based on a scrapped concept for Disney's Zootopia. The original first chapters and overall script/storyline was penned by tumblr user nicolaswildes, who later invited additional artists to help draw and flesh out later chapters.

Eventually updates came to halt and in 2018 nicolaswildes posted a final update with a linked pdf detailing the planned ending of the story. The project was considered abandoned.

In 2026 tumblr user thehyenatrio began commissioning artists on reddit to draw the unfinished chapters, bringing the story to completion.

Zistopia is set in a 1970s inspired version of the proto-Zootopia universe, which drew influence from 60s spy flicks. While some events of the story are lifted from concept art by Byron Howard, Zistopia branches off into its own narrative and subverts the pro-police/cop show undercurrents of the Zootopia franchise by presenting a sociologically centered story in which solutions to seemingly insurmountable challenges come from collective action rather than individualist aspirations.
