Disney artist with Michigan ties is Russ the walrus in 'Zootopia 2'

To the list of classic dialogue from Disney movies, add this conversation between a beaver and a walrus from “Zootopia 2."

It goes like this: “Hey, bub,” followed by the reply, “Hey, bub,” followed by yet another “Hey, bub,” and so on, and so on.

The lines are minimalistic, but the sequence featuring Nibbles Maplestick, a podcasting beaver, and Russ, a walrus who is also a plumber, has audiences for the sequel to 2016’s Oscar-winning “Zootopia" laughing like … well, hyenas, maybe?
